Tuning B&W 540i Audio with REW

F16SAT · 01-02-2019, 01:04 PM

Has anyone tried tuning the 5 series B&W audio with REW?
Since there is no AUX jack, not sure how to do this. I think you can record an RTA sweep to a WAV file and then measure, but not sure if this will be effective.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bonus question 1: Does it matter if you measure in the driveway with no extraneous road speed or better to measure at road speed?
Bonus question 2: Can any APPS be added to iDrive...specifically audio-type APPS?
Happy New Year!

I noticed that when I add my iPhone with Bluetooth instead of CarPlay, Pandora and Spotify show up on the audio selection menu.
Sorry don't know about tuning.
