In the current market, there are now many cheaply built replica units which look similar to ours but have extremely poor internals and parts such as thin flimsy metal frames and cheap plastics. These are simply low-grade, low-quality, cheaply built products which are flooding the market, many with even fake specifications! Which is why it is always important to choose a highly reputable and trusted source like Audio Tech Direct to avoid any disappointments.
VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY LIST
This custom fit head unit is designed to be an after-market replacement head unit for the original base level fitted head unit. The unit is supplied with a matching audio plug fitting from what should be stock entry level standard. Please read the fitment notes (if any) assigned to this product as we try to advise as many points on variant information and possibilities as we can.
COMPATIBLE WITH THE FOLLOWING MODELS:
- BMW 3 Series E46 Including M3 (1998-2005)
PANEL SIZE: Top Width 248mm x Height 118mm X Bottom Width 246mm
FITMENT NOTES:
1. If you have the original BMW or Range Rover Navigation system (12 pin blue and white plug system), then your stereo is actually in the rear quarter of the boot. The stock radio is the BM54 unit. This splits to the Nav (and sometimes DSP amplifier and TV tuner if you have them). To change the radio, you need unplug the BM54 and extend the radio wiring from the BM54 to the front where the new radio will sit. Part numbers REW-10155 and UCA-21028 are required to extend your radio cables (both sold separately).
2. If you have the DSP amplifier also, you have FIVE options:
A) Buy our DSP Retention module adaptor - Part No# ARC-20909 - This retains the original DSP sound system.
B) If you have the factory DSP amplifier but it does not work, the you can purchase our ABC-20316 bypass and amp rewire harness. This will replace the need for REW-10155 whilst also re-wiring the speakers for you. (Please Note: This will only retain a maximum of 8 speakers).
C) Re-wire the speakers directly to the head unit together with REW-10155 (Please Note: This will only retain a maximum of 8 speakers).
D) Buy a new amplifier and re-wire the speakers to this.
E) Purchase our OBD-76IBUS Android iBus dongle. This taps into the iBus wire on the vehicle and the App does the rest. Please note: You need to purchase the App APK and the DSP license separately direct from the developers (not through Audio Tech Direct).
3. If you have the available stereo space but you have a single DIN radio with the heater controls below it then you will need to buy the heater controls relocation kit (unfortunately we do not sell - BMW dealer only). This will move the heater controls down into a lower position and allow the fitment of our unit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The fitment guide is given as a guide only. We strongly recommend you double check the shape and dimensions against your application before purchase as some models on our fitment list do have different shape stereo's fitted from factory. It is your responsibility as the buyer to check you are purchasing the correct item for your vehicle.
