Install Amplifier in F46 Gran Tourer

I do not know if my F46 Gran Tourer 2016 has amplifier, does anyone know how to check if BMW has amplifier?

My F46 has 6 speakers: 4 in four door and 2 bass under front seat, these speaker may connect to NBT and powered by NBT.
I had replaced 4 door speakers, now I wish to upgrade the amplifier and the bass drivers.

How can I start?

This web site is very helpful https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/

You can see when the amplifier would be installed by clicking here https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...nit/1VnYWEpyPn

You can have an explanation of the various Audi Systems here

Hope it helps!

If you don't have the dash centre speaker then you only have the base audio system where the speakers are powered by the headunit and not a separate amplifier. Do a VIN decode on MDECODER.COM andlook for the upgraded Audio options 676 or 677 which do have a separate amplifier.

Does anybody know the differences between the HiFi and Harman Kardon amp in the F46? I have the 676 Hifi with the amp, but I'll be upgrading all the speakers from HK, as the HiFi is kind of rubbish. Can I leave the original amp or better to swap that out too?

In the F22 you can swap the speakers and it will help slightly but the best bang for the buck in one go is getting a HK amp or 3rd party, that being said no you don't need it, you may need some Y splitter cables for the door mirror mounted tweeters assuming its the same as the F22

I have done splitting the fiber optic cable from the HU to a MOST Decoder and connect to my Alpine DSP.

The strange thing is, the warrning chimes and reverse beep are playing through my speakers but not the audio/music. I can bluetooth to my DSP and successfully play songs thru my setup.

I am beginning to suspect is the HU cable to route the audio thru the MOST25 network? or is it a coding issue?

Can anybody advise?
