  1. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    Yep, it's version S18T-24-03-540 on mine Thanks for the info! This security container and signature bit are also interesting
  2. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    I am not sure, how would I figure that out? I can go look once I know what to look for.
  3. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    Following up, I got my DME back and in the car last night and have since spent hours driving around playing with MHD and listening to music. Femto unlock totally worth. Even the OTS maps are good. I'm running the stage 2 91oct map and it is a huge difference. As for the sub/amp, I'm happy. I...
  4. Unlocking ECU through middleman or send it straight to FEMTO

    Adding to this, this post is what gave me the confidence to do it myself: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/my-diy-femto-experience.22770/ Once you create an account on Femto's website, they also have a very in depth guide on the FAQ.
  5. Unlocking ECU through middleman or send it straight to FEMTO

    I just went through this process and I personally don't think it's worth paying a third party service. Like stated above, what are they even going to do if your DME does get lost? Probably not much, or at least not enough to get you totally squared back up. That being said, if you do it yourself...
  6. Catted Downpipe Smell?

    Adding my own experience to this: I first switched from stock DP to VRSF catless and the smell was so much worse than I expected and the constant CEL did make me paranoid that I could be missing real issues. CTS Turbo had a big sale on high flow cats (200cell) so I switched to that and now I...
  7. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    That's totally fair man, it's similar to how I feel about the factory box mod in hindsight. Audio is pretty subjective too as it totally depends on what somebody is after, so it's nice to show the different levels of improvement available. If somebody checks out this post and thinks "adding a...
  8. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    I'd be happy with "stock looking" carpet on a custom box, but not having to pull the entire stock box and build a custom one is very tempting. I will for sure keep your suggestion in mind when I finally decide I need to reclaim my trunk space lol
  9. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    I am legit considering this for a later down the road project. I think I'll have to do a custom box for it though. My understanding is that the stock compartment only has a depth of up to 2.5 inches, so any decent speaker wouldn't fit unless you mount it inverted. My goal would be to replace the...
  10. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    Sheeeesh bro that's nice. Way more work than I wanted to do ?
  11. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    Same, I didn't hate the stock sound, I was just very let down that I have two subs behind me that are apparently just for looks and don't produce any actual bass lol. But we'll see, once I can drive it around I can see how I feel about it with road noise, exhaust, etc.
  12. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    For sure. I'm definitely not an audiophile by any means, I mainly just wanted actual bass. Once I get the ECU back in the car (hopefully tomorrow) I'll post an update for both the sound and MHD feels. And I already had ASD coded out, but I went ahead and left it unplugged to just really make...
  13. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    Fair point. This has been a project to work on while waiting for my ECU to come back, so I've only listened to it in my garage at reasonable levels to be respectful of my neighbors, so there's definitely a possibility that I finally get to go drive around and then come back home to rage delete...
  14. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    @BMWAF @Mf1ve post updated with finished pictures. I don't like the box I bought, but meh lol
  15. In Depth Guide: Adding an aftermarket amplifier and sub

    Another Audio Post. Why? This forum has been a huge resource for me, I wanted to give back. I've done a lot to my car, including things like suspension and cutting a hole in my hood. This was by far the most tedious and frustrating project I've done so far and I want to make it as smooth as...
