Best EQ Settings for BMW iDrive 7.0 / Harman Kardon

[@Starbuckstea]

It feels like I've improved NOT the sound quality of my car, BUT the sound quality of my life! Appreciate it!

[@WhatsyourForte]

hahaha glad it helped

[@dazzlingdimples4964]

Just took delivery of my 2024 x3 M40i. I had saved your video because of the reviews about HK. I followed your very simple directions and viola! It sounds great! Thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad I could help!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Congrats on the ride

[@KathrynPollack-ek7fp]

You are a genius. My 2 day old ‘23 X M40 with the HK upgrade. I was disappointed with the factory settings. I dialed it in as you instructed! Bravo! What a difference.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you liked it

[@opbbpo4267]

I used these settings on the i6 system for a 750xi with the B&W system, and just wanted to shout out my thanks to WYF for posting them. The settings sound great on that system to anyone curious, in my opinion.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thank you

[@Snyvol97]

This video is a gem. I used the same settings in my car. The difference is night and day. he factory settings are terrible. Thank you!!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helped

[@Nate_H.]

The sound has majorly improved in my F80 with these settings, thanks so much for the video!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helped!

[@mohamhumblesoul357]

Freaking amazing, dude! Am amazed at how much of a difference there is in the sound quality. You’re a Freaking legend. Thanks dude!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad to help!

[@WAHollier54]

I just did this adjustment on my 8 series… huge difference! 👍🏽

[@WhatsyourForte]

Great to hear!

[@MrDrewdubz]

Just set these in my 2024 X3 and what a difference it made. Thanks from the UK 👌👌

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helped

[@sttanick0]

I would say that those are the best EQ settings for H&K (tested many of them). Big up, thanks for sharing!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thank you. Glad you liked them

[@anthonywilson3909]

It was a huge difference much better. It opened the sound up. I’m using them thanks

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helped

[@miztaknokitout]

These settings are amazing with the Harmon kardon speakers!!!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thank you. Glad you liked them

[@berane1990]

Thank you so much, i used your setup on my 330e from 2020 with Harman Kardon and the difference on the sound is unbelievable!!

[@petemonzon1198]

Big time difference! Made my new system sound great. Thanks my dude!!!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you liked it

[@g.dubyou6263]

WYF, at 4:43 on the 200HZ band. When you clicked it to save it at -6, it went down, one more when you clicked it. 🧐

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah it is weird that it does that. I noticed it afterwards

[@Nightmare-yb5lx]

Great video! Punched your settings into my 2024 X3 and it brings the system to life. I mostly listen to rock but also most other genres. Your settings sounds good in all of them. Curious if you stayed with the surround as +1 or 0?

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you liked them. I stayed with +1

[@kevstablade]

I watched your previous video put the settings into my 5 series massive improvement on my sound system. Thank you for sharing all the best

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thanks

[@goddardfamilyadventures]

Excellent video and tutorial. I had zero clue how to setup my new m340i and this is great. Sounds so much better. Thanks man!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

[@adrianpurewal204]

Thank God, finally a decent tutorial!

[@WhatsyourForte]

You are welcome

[@hot99pas]

Great video, really makes a difference. Bass a little high for my taste, but it does make a difference. I do have bavsound woofers that hit harder than HK.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helps, yeah those definitely hit harder

[@Jonny2400]

2:13 The bass and Tremble looks higher than +3 compared to the others that are +6 for example.

[@WhatsyourForte]

@@Jonny2400 on the newer cars it auto adjust when you edit the EQs… you can go back and change it

[@izikaustin992]

Night and day difference, sounds so much better in my m240. Quick question though, does this hold a higher chance in blowing out any of the speakers?

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you like it. I doubt it unless you are running max treble/ bass and volume

[@sirinfiniti]

Great, now music sounds much better in my M4. Also, I set the same in my g05 x5 with B&W system and it also made sense, thanks again.

[@Robert-ko1ep]

Can u please post the numbers of the sound setting for the HK system. Thanks

[@WhatsyourForte]

Check 7:55 in the video

[@roberttonica8893]

@@WhatsyourFortethat is + or - any number from the middle right? Middle = 0 and +3 is 3 levels up right. Because i think in your video setings were not all middle but you counted from where you were at.

[@Xanadu98]

Gracias amigo. Better than my last equalizer settings.

[@WhatsyourForte]

de nada amigo.

[@benbanga9689]

can i apply these settings to my 2024 x5 50e it has a idrive 8?

[@WhatsyourForte]

@@benbanga9689 as long as the car has Harmon kardon

[@steevynovirus_f3099]

Yeah it much clearer now

Agreed, night and day difference

[@Thabigman]

Sounds good in x7, appreciate you boss

[@WhatsyourForte]

Any time!

[@kclark5060]

I have the i8 system. Can you do a settings video for that or will the i7 be fine?

[@WhatsyourForte]

Let me see if I can find a car with idrive8

best sound settings for my 540i without the surround sound is crazy

[@beartr2626]

sounds perfect inside my new Z4.. great difference. cheers my man!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you liked it

[@BaezLife]

Love these settings. It's hard to tell on the equalizer whether you're at the middle (0) or + any number! Other than that I'm close enough

[@SepandRoz]

Whoa…. What a difference!!!! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you liked it

[@alekstender9936]

Could you do the same quality tuning for the B&W system?🙏🏻

[@WhatsyourForte]

I have never had that system or heard it. I will see if I can find one

[@abechoucair6995]

Thank you sir. Going to try this in my X4 today!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Let me know what you think

HI, does this adjustment method apply to IDRIVE 8 M340I ?

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yes

Just tried it in my 440i GC 🔥

[@dutchman9775]

It does sound better!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thanks glad you liked it.

[@erickhurtado8162]

Do you know how I can get that echoish sound ? what settings should I use I love that sound it sounds amazing

[@WhatsyourForte]

I would code in the bang and Oleson sound profiles to get that. I did a video on that on my channel

[@aly81au]

Hi, are you doing any tuning tips for idrive 8? G80/G81

[@WhatsyourForte]

I have yet to sit in any car with the Idrive 8. Once I do, I will definitely do one

[@aly81au]

pls keep me in the loop when you do one!

[@blaster1313]

its sound way better, thank you sir

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad you like it!!

[@matthewa6266]

Gotta fly you out to setup my new X5M I picked up yesterday. I know our cars are different in size/layout but you think I can apply these and they might work?

[@WhatsyourForte]

Hahah if it has the Harmon Kardon system then it should. I don’t have much experience with the B&O system

[@matthewa6266]

@@WhatsyourForte I had the B&W ordered and then they took it out due to shortages. So I got the Harmon Kardon. Btw, your M3 looks fiyaaaa!!!

[@matthewa6266]

@@WhatsyourForte just did the settings and love them!!!

[@eebuckeye]

I can not hear the back speakers at all unless I have the fade essentially all the way to the back. The back are much quieter than the fronts for some reason. Could I have a bad amp? Is this similar for you? I have the HK premium audio with surround. I have tried with surround on and off.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah something is up with the settings or the speakers. I would reset all of the sound settings to default. Then sit in the back seat with the normal settings and see if you hear the speakers then. Next go to the front seat. If that does not fix it if you have warranty left, go to BMW

[@twinzinc]

Was wondering if there is a hard drive to save music / 💿 to car ?

[@WhatsyourForte]

This car does not have a CD player. I know the older BMWs gave you that feature

[@robsnow2099]

Thanks bro, needed this!

[@WhatsyourForte]

No problem

[@GoatLionGoat]

Its better - thx bro. Maybe some songs the Bass was little to high…for my ears

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah, the bass and treble will need adjusting from person to person
