Jamesy Boy ACS3d Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have just purchased an audio spatilizer button (part no. 61318363679): (Sorry about the quality of the iPhone photos) I intend to eventually upgrade my entire audio system to aftermarket and intend to use this button to turn the sub amp on and off. My problem is that the button has 6 pins and I don't know which is for what ?!?!?!? I am assuming: Illumination (+)Illumination (-)On light (+)On light (-)Power line (In)Power line (Out) But not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated or if anybody has a pin diagram for the button it would be ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have just purchased an audio spatilizer button (part no. 61318363679): What the flip is a " spatilizer " ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Boy ACS3d Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 What the flip is a " spatilizer " ? If you had the OEM upgrade to either the Hi-Fi or Harman Kardon speaker packages you had an option of a 'Spatilizer' button. Which basically meant that when pressed it gave the audio system a richer sound & the sound was coming from all around you. In real terms it just turned the gain up on your amp.

mit Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 If you had the OEM upgrade to either the Hi-Fi or Harman Kardon speaker packages you had an option of a 'Spatilizer' button. Which basically meant that when pressed it gave the audio system a richer sound & the sound was coming from all around you. In real terms it just turned the gain up on your amp. Actually it's DSP Spatializer. DSP is digital signal processor. It's more gubbins, not just increasing the gain on the amp. It's also known as digital time alignment I think (at least that's what my head unit calls it and it has various options for different car setups, but presumably for the BMW it would be set up for the car from the factory). But yeah, doesn't really do much other than burn a hole in your wallet when you tick it on the options list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil2575 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Nice OEM button for amp on/off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccfj1 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Not sure what the pins are but, this may help...(from the online wds). Also, I know you wont be able to use it to turn on your sub/amp unless you use a relay as it won't take the current being dropped across it. I ran a new feed from the fusebox and wired a relay in and just used the button to switch. I have used this same button for switching on my sub and had to use a relay, but I used the full switch panel, not the individual button.

Jamesy Boy ACS3d Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Cheers ccfj1. Was planning to use it as the remote on/off line to feed the sub amp. As this should only need to be 5V tops and not much current. I read a thread on E46fanatics that talked about using a relay, as else the button activation light (green one) would come on when the button was pressed and off when you pressed to turn the sub on Will have to give it a go. Do you have a link to the picture as when I went to enlarge it or print it off I couldn't read any of the small writing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e46 330ci vert Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 lets get my head around this.the stereo turns on the amp by its remote wireyou can then link it to a relayso why would you want a seperate switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razvangavan Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I am interested in the original wiring for the spacializer, but instead i thought that turning the amps on or off it's also an interesting feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razvangavan Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Solved! Installed virtual machine on windows 7, installed xp mode, downloaded wds.iso, mounted in deamon tools, launched with IE 6 and after a little bit of search, i came up with the schematics (picture below). As a conclusion: Pin no5 of HK switch goes to pin 15 in HK amplifier - yellow/black colour wire Pin no4 of hk switch goes to pin 14 in superior fuses box fuse F7 white/violet wire Pin no6 of HK switch goes to pin 5 of X322 connect - gray/red wire Pin no3 of HK switch goes to ground - brown wire Pin no2 of HK switch - not used Pin no1 of HK switch - not used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have the HK set up so i want to get my hands on this button and hope i can just run power, ground and illumination with remote sub/amp activation. Problem is im useless at electrics. That image looks like as much of a map to Eldorado as it does a wiring diagram. Unsure what to do next, whether i need to take this button apart or just maybe get the connector that goes in, cut it and send the lines to where they need. Power and ground is obvious but what next? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
