Hey guys,

I did search the forum for this but couldn't find any thread/post relating to this.

Has anyone out here upgraded their BMW stock amp to Audiotec Fischer's MATCH UP 7BMW one?

I had a few queries

So I am guessing no one has taken up this upgrade.

I have a question for the experts though.

Post install, there is a buzzing noise from the tweeters on boot up.

Once there's any sound signal (music/pdc chime etc) - the buzz stops.

Tried reseating connection (it's a straight PnP set up)
Tried changing the unit to another one (same brand)

The issue persists. Any suggestions? Could it be cos of gain settings in the custom tune?

Thanks
S

Sorry for digressing on the topic - could you let me know what was the costing and where did you source Match Up7 from - is it different from Bimmertech Amp. I am thinking of upgrading my system as it is definitely bland at best. Hoping this amp (without speaker upgrades) will give enough oomph to the sound. Any other alternatives, I should consider.
Also hoping your issue is solved.

Bimmertech Amp is relabelled Match Up7 amp.

If you are up to it - you could look at Helix amp too - but it's not a straight PnP though.

My issue was resolved with the change in Amp & upgrading the HU s/w (by BMW).

@shubz assuming you got this locally, How much was it and from where.
Also looking for an F34 LCI.
Any idea if the 8 is compatible with the 7 in case it's cheaper or 7 isn't available?

The harness for 8 does not suit the F34 directly. you may need an adaptor and I am not sure if anyone does that.

This the connector for 7 UP



This is the one for 8DSP



Yes I had it sourced and it cost me around 1.2 + installation & tuning charges. But I am not using it now and if you are looking for 7 do hit me up on DM we can discuss.
