Is it possible to enable Beosonic in older cars?

To the OP (or anyone for that matter), try and protect your hearing as much as possible, otherwise you end up with hearing aids which will spoil the sound even on the aids "Music" setting. (I know). My hearing was mainly ruined at age 18 going to my first rock concert to see the band "UFO". I didn't even like their music, I just went to accompany a friend. Not many regrets in life but that is the major one that affects day to day living.

I went from a '21 to my '24 this year and wasn't even aware that this existed until this thread!

I seem to remember that it's possible to enable Beosonic in older cars but haven't found that thread yet. Would be nice to have on my 21.

I've had my car for a week, and am still dorking with the settings. Right now I have the listening position back just one blip, the setting on "surround", and Beosonic on "Energetic". I haven't yet played with the EQ yet, but the midrange/treble do need some help.

Setting it on "Surround" was the biggest improvement, IMO. The factory settings did this sound system no favors, it sounded almost tinny.

I'll have to try this next time I drive. I'm pretty sure mine is set to Stereo right now.

Same for me except it was Pink Floyd. ?
Is there a better album than Dark Side of the Moon? ?

I see that some of you have Beosonic in your vehicle. I either can’t find it or don’t have it. How do I get it?

No.

If I remember right, all mme have the beosnic capability. I believe it is enabled through Forscan and didn’t seem difficult. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/how-to-enable-b-o-beosonic-eq-with-forscan.39142/post-853968

Only ones that have B&O speakers, and requires a module update first on older cars.

I’ve been an audiophile for over 50 years. In general it’s recommended to set the sound flat, meaning not to boost the bass nor the treble, to get the rendition that the recording intended. Aside from that, it’s up to you to device your oun sonic experience based on your tastes. There’s no right nor wrong, it’s what feels best to you.

Thanks @Vgkfan and @Mach-Lee
I knew I'd seen this thread but it's been a minute.
Lee, reading between your lines, are you implying that some of the earliest cars were built without the B&O system/speakers? I thought the car came standard with B&O. Not so?

Impressive system! Brand and specs please.

I had B&O speakers in my '21, or so they were marked. I did not have the beosonic feature however.
