Default And here be the Digital Ethernet Decoder!!!!

Have managed just now to have my audio supplier fess up with regards to where it comes from as he says before long it'll be common knowledge anyway.

All, DED instructions are here. If you download on android a BT Controller App and you can't connect to your DED by Bluetooth then it is the wrong App so PM me for the correct one with Whatsapp number as I only have it on there. More info on the DED can be found here:

Dale, I'm about to do the same to my 2021 F-type. What was your experience with this box? Was it worth it? Did you try to use the line outputs of the factory amp first? I've got a couple of DSP amps but they don't have an optical input so I'll have to use a digital to analog converter between the interface box and my amps. I'm debating if it will be worth it to have 5 different devices to get a quality signal.

I can say it was very worth it for me because I wanted a pure unprocessed signal from the jaguar IAM. Also the digital decoder has digital coax as another signal output option. System sounded ok before and maybe acceptable for alot of people but if you want the best you can get, you need to start with a pure unprocessed signal before your DSP. If neither the optical or digital coax are able to be utilized, a module such as a topping D10 between the Daead and your DSP is an excellent affordable interface to get you rca outputs after the DED.

I have started my install of the Tuning Solutions V821 DED and Alpine Optim8 and have some questions for you DED pioneers:

There are NO instructions in the box - I see there are 4 configuration tabs but have no idea what they do. Since tab #1 is the only one in the down position I assume that it is in "Optical Fiber Output Mode" per the instructions above?

What's the best way to get the "btcontroller" app? I can't seem to find it on the Android Google Play Store.

Pic please, I didn't touch any of the switches on the DED.

As far as BT setup I use Bluetooth Terminal edebugger available in the Android Play Store. The first controller app was all in Chinese and not sure they ever sent out an english version.

Thanks @Jag Bass - the switches are left of the ethernet port (item 4 in "Panel descriptions" in the instructions benevolently provided by @Dale Melton above).

I will leave them as is per your recs, although my plan is to use both the Front and Rear coax (items 10, 11) outputs to 2 different DSPs. So I am hoping not to have to fiddle with those.

I will try and sort out the alarm and BT settings with the app you recommend. Appreciate your help!
