Thanks for the vent removal tip above the head unit. It worked well though even after removing the vent it was still a pain in the ars. LOL!

Take out the ac control, take out the centre vent, take out the carrier, rethread the main cable from behind the ac control or there isn't room. Reverse to reinstall.

what mounts the head unit in the dash an keeps it from moving around, i got my kit today an the best i can tell is the faceplate just sets in that frame, i cannot see any way to mount it to the kit

@JarrodBo 7 жыл бұрын

I just pushed my head unit in the opening in the dash, then put the frame over it and bolted it down.

Also, the basket for the aftermarket stereo can be installed neatly in the top Din position in the carrier first, then the whole thing inserted back into place, when you route the BMW wiring bundle with after-market adapter connected. Then just slide in the new radio as you plug in the few cables and connectors. Voila! The basket will lock the radio in place and it won’t be loose and flopping about in the hole. (This part may vary based on the kind of new head unit installed) worked beautifully for my KENWOOD and most I assume.

remove the hvac controls and tuck the adaptors in there. There is plenty of room behind the hvac controls.

@robs850 4 жыл бұрын

I disagree. The factory cable bundle to the radio is too tightly wrapped and secured to the bulkhead to divert all the completed wiring behind the HVAC controls. It’s best to remove the 2-Din carrier, and then connect the aftermarket car radio adapter to the BMW wiring bundle connector and place all that tucked in behind the top back left corner of the 2-Din carrier in the back, feeding and tucking as you reinsert the carrier. The center air duct module should also be removed/taken out prior so you can have more hand-room to do this. Also, the basket for the aftermarket stereo can be installed neatly in the top Din position in the carrier first, then the whole thing inserted back into place, when you route the BMW wiring bundle with after-market adapter connected. Then just slide in the new radio as you plug in the few cables and connectors. Voila! The basket will lock the radio in place and it won’t be loose and flopping about in the hole. (This part may vary based on the kind of new head unit installed) worked beautifully for my KENWOOD and most I assume.

Im pretty sure, and this should just pop out, uses flat head and breaks it. hope I could just, BANG like this, sets cam down. This wires kind of stupid, where did...oh its up here.. Let me guess your not really a garage and have no idea what your doing.. Figure it out first then focus (just a little) to make vid. Do yourself a favor go to youtube and see if they have a video on how to make a video. (a helpful vdeo) Best part of video was the dog sitting there laughing at you. Anyway don't mean to be so harsh but its funny af. put the oil burner down.
