Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Denali Soundbomb

Post by Fourbears »

Right this may be a stupid question but I have fitted a Denali Soundbomb compact to my 2016 LC. The instructions make no mention of removing the OE horn and they both fit. But I can hardly hear the Soundbomb, wired through my Cansmart, so do I need to remove the OE horn and if so what do I do with the OE connector?

I have the soundbomb(normal size) on my 16 and yes,you do remove the OE horn.Don't think I did anything with the remaining connector, just left it,maybe zipped it out the way but thats all :thumb:

And while I remember, don't tell the mot fella it's fitted,if it's the same as mine watch the look of distain when he hears it for the first time :lol: :lol:

I thought I had been stupid! Right I’ll take it off and cover the connector up out of harms way.
