Hey Maurits, Indeed it was the original Bluemusic module, with the head unit attachment, the seller did send over another one but i ended up buying the DSP converter kit and and the bluemusic with the dsp attachment, picture above from your post) (had a road trip so i really wanted to have some control over my spotify). Maybe it would have worked but other forums have mentioned something about having the Carver amplifier in 2003 models with its complications. I recently learned how to code the car and i noticed in one of the DSP modules, Head unit DSP was set to "nicht active", so possibily enabling it would have solved the issue, but then i assume that the music is then processed by the headunit and not by the separate amplifier itself. For now the complicated solution is working flawlessly, only issue is i need to wire my mic so, im waiting on an extension cable, which means i have to route the cable from the cabin to the trunk. Not hard, just need to remove a subwoofer grille but definitely more tedious than the solution you have on another note, If you look at the CD changer IO you see 2 ports, excluding the 3 pin power and ibus in the middle. one is the coax digital(which i sent a pic from my setup) and other is the 6 pin analogue. only one of the two have to be occupied. pre facelift (i) uses digital, post facelift (si) uses analogue. THe digital setups apparently cause complications Cheers the the pictures and info!

Whaat, really? I solved it with the DSP converter and all that shennanigans haha, was a pain. Does your DSP use coax cables? how is your 6 CD changer wired up. now im curious. The HeadUnit method worked in terms of functionality, like skipping music on spotify, but no sound at all. Volume max both ways, i even blasted my hears by accidentally switching to FM to ensure that the speakers were functional. If im not mistake, the DSP expects a digital signal for sound, not analogue via the 6 pins, hence the need for the DSP. Now i want to get to the root of this since we both essentially have the same scenario. Do you know what connectors go to your CD changer? 3 pin (ibus, 12v, gnd) and 6 pin or 3pin + a small coax cable? Maybe this is something we can clarify to help others that run into the same issue. The DSP converter method isnt the best. because the convertor needs 12V to run, didnt want to alter the original harness to get this 12V so i just used wire tapping devices (thanks to my colleague) to take 12V from the bluetooth module. these wire tap modules are the red blocks i taped together.

Cheers! I managed to get the Head Unit to recognise the bluetooth audio after following your steps, but theres nothing coming out of the speakers. After some intense research, i think i need to do the wiring from the back of the car 😞 heres why: Pre Face lift e85's WITH an amplifier (lcoated next to the batter) use an optical cable for data transmission, unfortunately. This means that the boot wont have a 6+1 cable but an optical plug + 1. This essentially means that the 6 CD changer is directly communicating to the amplifier with this optical plug. In order to conenct the bluemusic, it needs a digital to analogue converter. from what i read in forums, facelift models amps dont use this weird optical coax cable. I ordered the wiring for the CD changer in the back along with the converter (i can provide links if requested). I shall give it a shot to see if this theory holds true. Maybe im overthinking this but, it still doesnt seem to work for me haha. current situration: 6CD changer powered down, so Bluemusic is detected by the head unit. skipping tracks on my connected phone works via the headunit, no sound plays from the speakers. FM and AUX work as normal, both play from the speaker. Do let me know if theres more i need to do. today i recieve the bluemusic with 6+1 cabling plus the DSP converter from coax to 6 pin. If this works, i will be very happy but also, i have bad news for prefacelift owners with the HiFi amp haha

Hi all, 1. Sorry for switching to English, my dutch is quite limited (planning to improve soon haha). I also got the Bluemusic module that fits to the back of the Head Unit. No luck as the 6CD changer still runs, which fuse did you remove@ Jasper1986† I have the S677 upgrade, does that mean i have to use the 3+6 connection from the back of the car? i saw the connectors plugged into the CD changer. wondering if i should remove the power cable or remove the fuse to get the module to work. Once again, sorry for swithing to English! i promise i will improve my dutch in the years to come, maybe from this forum as i just purchased a Z4🙂
