Hi, All,

I own a 1998 328i with the Harmon Kardon stereo upgrade.

This system has a switch on the console that turns on and off some kind
of spatial processing which boosts the bass and alters the "stereo
image" specifically for this model of car.

Recently I have had a problem where just the bass-boost and image
"processing" switches on and off intermittently. The system works and
sounds normal when it's working, so I know the problem is not a fuse or
blown component. I suspect a loose connector, but I don't know the
location of all of the components of the system.

I know about the in-dash head unit, of course, but are there seperate
amplifiers? Is there some kind of processing unit seperate from the
head unit?

Thanks for any info or hints!

Ken

Wow, HK in an E36 is quite a rarity.  I don't know, but the first place to
look would be in the boot.  As it is factory, then it may not be that easily
spotted.
