Recently bought a Bovees 1000 for my Aston DB9. C'ant get it the sync but that's another issue. Plugged it in to my iPod connection and as I said earlier it will not sync went back in the house to do some research came back to the car and when I turned the key back on I heard a loud pop come from the passenger side foot well where the cabin fuse box is. I have no radio power so I'm m assuming I blew the radio fuse. Everything else seems to work including navigation. I'll check fuses when it gets a little warmer in my garage.

I have read how easy it is to setup the Bovee however I have some bastardized iPod / xm radio set up. It is an Alpine system that is run through the nav screen and controlled by a remote controlled independent of the radio controls . I can only adjust volume with the radio control. Moving sources like iPod and xm must be done with the remote. The system has a small black receiver which picks up the rf signal from the remote. Anyone know anything about this system? The whole setup sucks.

TIA

 

I can't help you, but I can commiserate...

I bought a 2000 M5 to replace the one I sold (such a mistake!). This one came with an aftermarket Alpine stereo that the PO had installed. It was a terrible install and left me with many questions. Fortunately, the E39 M5 scrapper of the world lives about 45 minutes away. I spent a morning in his driveway collecting the head unit, radio, nav unit, amplifier, brackets, harness bits and carpet to get it back to stock. Now I can add in the new bluetooth adapter, and speakers that it needs to join this century. But wow, what a mess...

I suspect you are in the same boat. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Well I got my audio back to normal. All I did was pull a bunch of 5 amp fuses looking for a blown one. Nothing blown but after going thru this exercise the audio came back to life. I've decided to quit messing with the audio and just accept what it is. I've torn into multiple cars over the years never fearing what might happen and always found a solution but for some reason I live in fear of this AM DB9.
