According to ETK:
http://www.etk.cc/bmw/EN/search/sele...CE/65/65_2848/

and according to owner of an early F48 the HK system is improved in the current F48 builds:

Can you expand on how these two links demonstrate an improvement?

Looking at the thread on Bimmerfest, it appears that the newer build *may* have a higher gain/output from the amp...very subjective as to whether that makes for an improvement or not.

I'd suggest a better improvement would be the ability to utilise the equaliser and/or logic7 as in other BMW implementations...can't see it happening anytime soon though.

Hopefully I may find out something this weekend when mine arrives. I know many people have commented on the lack of equaliser in the F48 HK but now that I have my VIN and have downloaded the Drivers Guide App it is mentioning equaliser settings - we will see

Yeah I saw this too, most likely another BMW typo. But we can live in hope

If the equaliser is in then that's great news.

I had to wind the bass right back in the test car, otherwise it makes for a tiring drive.

Not seen L7 EQ in any of the recent cars (F48) either, so be awake
Reason is F48 doesn't support the BMW's "MOST"amplifier version and hence no EQ.

I've got the HK in my M135i and I will definitely not be speccing it if I get another BMW mainly because :
- I tend to turn it off or down so I can hear the lovely 6-pot engine
- I also find I just don't listen to music enough in the car to warrant the extra cost
- drove a 13 year old Renault Clio this week, with standard radio and £25 "upgraded" front speakers. It sounded very good- I was shocked at how good it was
- drove my wife's 2011 116i ES also this week. Standard BMW audio, sound quality not as good as the Clio but good enough for the few occasions I would use it.

So, no HK next time, but I'll probably get the BMW "Advanced" speakers.

My X1 was delivered today and sorry to report that it looks like there are still no equalizer settings despite what the App was saying . If I find any different in the next few days I will report back

I use a usb-stick for music. Is there a way to play the music random or shuffle?

In my F30, when you have the source (media) selected, move the iDrive controller to the right and you should see a menu with the Random option displayed - you need to select this to enable randomisation.

Just checked the HK. Did not find it at first. So I called the product genius. It is there.
The possibility of random/shuffle is somewhat hidden.
When in Playlist go to Options and scroll down where you can check random.
Thanks SDB123!
