I have the kicker IQ 1000watt 5 channel amp. It has it's own processor so I can set the EQ for each speaker which I love. With the addition of this piece I can adjust everything on the fly from my phone (different settings for talk radio; bluetooth music; terrestrial radio) and it basically bypasses the head unit which I think we all feel the non B&O MMI sound quality is sub par.

This seems like a great solution if you're bypassing the MMI, but I was really hoping to integrate with it. I thought the stock MMI was the same as the B&O one, therefore containing an unused preout that, presumably, B&O used to go to an external amp? Am I off on this?
X2!! I wish I had seen that before I got mine. lol
I will have to stick with what I've got cause I just ordered coilovers, wheels and tires. I blame mroberte for furthering my obsession with mods.
hahaha, I'm glad I brought you over to the dark side! Your going to love the coilovers! When you start, you can't stop. Wheels are next for me, then exhaust #problems

I think you might be able to add the B&O components to any of the MMI's since its external amp, however not really sure because depends if VCD can be enabling in lower end systems. Pins #9 and #13 are the sub output.
Here is some info for those that need it of the pinouts on the back of the MMI. This should pertain to all of them.

I do believe that the IQI does work in tandem with the MMI. I know my amp, which has it's own processor does and this is just an extension of that. I like it because it gives me more control beyond just treble, bass and sub *****. I need to fine tune the sound more to fully enjoy it.
