In my research I have found that the head unit on our cars can be recoded. I was told that the HK coded HU has some EQ before the signal heads to the amp. Are you aware of this? It can be changed to HiFi using E-Sys or Bimmercode. Thoughts?

It might be worth a try. You can change it back if you don't like the sound. The only slightly annoying thing is that you have to redo your presets each time you make a change!
Hopefully this is clear.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner; work has been kicking amy a$$.
Everything that I've read on the HU programming (and it hasn't been much) has said that all the "tuning" of the different systems is handled in the factory amp. I don't think there's a need to switch the HK coding to HiFi in order to get a good signal to the UP7. I left my HU coding to HK.
