2017 4 series convertible upgrade to Kardon sound system

Featured Replies

Hi Guys, has anyone tried to upgrade the standard sound system to the optional Kardon one ?.

I would like some info as to;

1) Do I need any additional wiring or is the loom already in place.

2) What are the part number(s) specific to the convertible version.

3) If not realistically possible - recommendations for an aftermarket alternative

All replies gratefully received

Cheers

Tim

Morning Tim

Welcome to the Forum

The place to start is www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model. Then search the Audio/Navigation section if the Harman system was an option it will show along with parts required. Are you trying for a Speaker/Amp Upgrade or a full system upgrade ?

Never done this upgrade but I would expect that some software will be needed along with the hardware to get it working with the cars Infotainment system. Not like years ago, add a few wires and a fuse or two and off you go 🤣

Good Luck

Dave
