It certainly seems like it will do, from what I've deduced from information found online. At first I wasn't sure, however it seems it makes a marked difference as it improves the quality of the feed to the HK amp.

BTW, I've made a rather detailed delve into the BM24 unit (including repair) here:

Good news. I take it you have the HK with Highline yes? Is yours saloon or Tourer?
I retrofitted the HK speakers and amp to the Highline in my Launch car and I reckon the BM24 would be a fantastic upgrade to the sound.

Yes I have the highline and hk fitted .
The difference is amazing !
Mines a saloon .

Where did you get it from and if Ebay what did you search as bm24 not bringing much up.

Hi DMGRS, Can you tell me what is the amplifier chip being used in the standard radio please?

With that info I can do a search to see if there's a possible replacement.

I either put in bmw bm24 in or Becker bm24 , mine was on for £100 or best offer , I offered £65 And it was accepted

Another great thing about the bm24 unit , you never have to tune the radio in , it finds all the stations for you and you can flick through them , the standard rover unit could only pick up two stations round here , the bm24 is in double figures !!!! I can pick up stations miles away !

That's a very good price

Just fitted mine

Paid £90 off eBay, gutted I didn't see that one posted above for £75

Nevermind, I'm so very pleased with the results. I've finally got decent sounds in the motor. I've got a HK set up waiting to be wired in to, then happy days

Thanks DMGRS, this is awesome I info
