Premium hi-fi system QUESTION?

Im thinking of buying a second hand X6 and the dealer says that its equiped with the Premium hi-fi system (Logic7). I know the differences between the 2 Hifi systems (12 vs 16 speakers, 205 vs 600 watt, etc) but as a newbie i dont know how to check that he is telling me the truth. Is there any easy way to find out which system it has, i.e is there a sign somewhere says LOGIC7, anything with speakers...etc?

i think there will be a LOGIC7 logo and an equalizer option on the screen when you try to change the audio settings as there was in the old 7er.

Also, there should be two woofers under the front seats.

hope that helped

on a side note try counting the speakers :P

The easiest way to tell visually.

-Check center console for USB connection.
-Check glove box for 6 DVD changer.

or

Go into iDrive and select Audio config, there will be a "surround" option. Note however, using the surround sound feature when audio is not true surround (most cases) will make the system seem like the rear speakers are disabled. For the X6 I have found the the basic stereo setting is best.

I think Chuck92103 is easiest but looking under front seats is not too hard either.

Well... The subs are hidden under the seats in the floor... i feel mine but i cant see them.
So i guess you need to put up the volume and feel them work with your hand

Chuck, Georgepascal is in Cyprus, so the USB connection and the 6 disc DVD changer may be separate options that are not part of a 'package' as it is in North America!

So the car may have neither option, or it may have one or the other or even both of those options and I think for those countries where you can order these options individually, you do not have to have the premium sound system to order those options! So just looking at those two things may not necessarily be an indication that the car actually has the premium sound system!

I believe you are correct. The base HiFi system as well as the Premium sound system have sub woofers under the front seats, however they have different speakers (plastic or trim parts are the same just the actual speaker is different - part number 1):

Good point. I did not notice the OP's location when I posted.
