The mObridge preamp is designed to seamlessly integrate into the MOST bus system and interface into the audio digital data stream to allow any aftermarket amplifier to be added to your audio system without the need to use "HIGHtoLOW" audio converters. The mObridge preamp interface operates on a digital level and does not introduce unwanted noise levels and harmonic distortions that an analog converter hooked into the existing wiring of the vehicle would give you. The piece connects into the MOST bus vehicle system without having to cut into the speaker wiring of your premium vehicle.

The mObridge preamp gives the user complete control over volume, fade, balance, treble, bass and equalization settings. Utilizing a state of the art powerful 400 MHz Digital Signal Processor, the mObridge preamp is able to take advantage of the digital domain space and provide the user with complete control for the existing vehicles interfaces such as the BMW iDrive.

this would be nice to have if it was about $300-$400 cheaper, considering you need the bit-one which is another $700 but you can use the bit-one without the mobridge.

 

+1k I remmember when i was waiting for it to come out, Mobridge had estimated a $300-$400 street price.
