Coding Alpine retrofit

Dtype · 06-11-2016, 10:10 AM

Hi.
I've retrofitted alpine system for e90 right now. It seems very good, once I have logic 7 speakers and tweeters and hifi subwoofers.
I didn't coding anything yet. I've read some people have coding cic for hifi, others didn't coding anything.
What do you guys think?
Thanks
P.S. I posted to on coding forum

Code to hifi. I ran mine with stereo and hifi and hifi kicks stereo in the junk.

depends what you had before upgrading

From factory my car had professional HU with stereo base system.
I've retrofitted a cic professional, replace all 4 door speakers with logic 7 system speakers, had 2 logic 7 tweeters on front doors and replaced oem stereo subwoofers from subwoofers from a car who had oem Hifi system.

yeah, coding needed indeed

Hi all.
Coded right now.
Now I have less sound (level of noise) but much more clearly sound.

Read somewhere that sometimes coding hifi will mess up with gongs, pdc and Bt. Tested all and everything seems fine!
Thanks

Yes! Without a doubt! Have Read many threads on this and other forums, some people complains about pdc sound, gongs and BT but on mine everything it's ok.

Thanks for the feedback!

Note to who's considering this:

The gong and PDC issue happens because Alpine mislabelled the crossover, follow the colours not the labels, so the orange actually plug into the tweeter not the car's harness

Have read about that. My speakers was not from alpine kit, was from a donor car with logic 7. It works pretty well indeed. Subs are from another donor car, but hifi version. Amp was bought on eBay with harness. My car is pre lci, and harness was for lci, but was easy to connect anyway.
