Bongiovi Audio Upgrade
Hi, anyone have the bongiovi audio upgrade? I want to get this upgrade but was wondering if it was any good at all.. I find the stock audio system to be crap but don't want to spend too much money upgrading it. Thanks.

Why get a bongiovi stereo when you can get a bongiovi live in the car?

It's a digital sound field processor (DSP). It is designed to process the signal to the speakers to add a sort of 3D effect. So, there is probably some latency added to certain signals to create a larger space. Don't expect anything too drastic. In no way is this a substitute for upgraded speakers. I had considered one when there was a group buy on this forum 2 years ago thereabouts but opted to change the head unit eventually.

I happen to own a 2016 FRS with a dealer installed Bongiovi DSP. Are people ever interested in buying these modules?

If you got it cheap it is OK but if you paid full price there are much better options for the money. The dealer had it installed in my car and when I was haggling a deal I said they could give it to me for free or take it out. They took it out.
