harmon kardon question
Picked up my 235 tonight and have a question for those that might know about the Harmon Kardon option. I ordered it, and it is on my sticker, but wondering where I would see proof that I actually have it.
My confusion is due to when I bring up tones on my Idrive I don't see any options to configure a graphic equalizer or anything relating to surround sound. Any help is appreciated. My CA was confused as well, and is trying to find out from BMW directly tomorrow. other than that I'm loving my purchase! Last edited by golf4501; 03-13-2014 at 09:53 PM.. |

First thing is to check your window sticker which I'm sure you did already. Then check the front two speakers that are located on the front left and right pillars. They should say "harmon kardon" on them. Hope this helps and congrats on the new car!

Are there subwoofers under both the driver and passenger seats? That's also a good indicator since I'm almost positive the base system doesn't have these.

i think the M235i comes standard with premium sound for the active noise.

yep speakers on pillars say Harmon Kardon. Funny neither I or my CA saw that, but we were outside in the dark setting up the satellite. Now just wondering why I have no advanced audio settings thru iDrive.

I was going to say... I could see the H/K metal in the picture that other guy took of your car sitting on the lot before you got it. =p

Nevermind, I just checked and the center channel was only on the 3 series. I have no idea why OP does not have Eq.

Are you only seeing the controls for back to front, and left to right as well? Kind of disappointing in my book, if this is the case with the HK. Surround sound, but no way to configure it makes no sense.

And just so we're clear, you have confirmed the m235i does NOT have a feature of the H/K package that the 335i does? |

so is there really 16 speakers or just 6 tweeters?
"The 16-speaker system also includes six tweeters, six mid-range speakers, two bass speakers located under the front seats, one mid-range speaker and one tweeter in the instrument panel." |

That would be nice but what I got is basically 70's audio controls, left/right front/back, treble/bass. Fairly disappointing for a option I though would give me much more. The hardware is all there just no interface to do much with it.
