2-DIN player mounting kit.
Compatibility:
- BMW – 3 series (46) (1998 – 2005
With this kit, you can install a 2-DIN player in your car. The set also includes a steering wheel remote control adapter, with which your car's original steering wheel buttons work with the aftermarket player (check the features of your player for this function).
Included in the package:
- 2-DIN plastic frame
- Antenna adapter
- Steering wheel remote control adapter
- Instrument-specific Multilead for e.g. Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer instruments.
Note:
- These cars are available with a Quadlock connector and a 17-pin BMW connector. This kit comes with both options.
- These cars are available with a Fakra antenna connector and a DIN antenna connector. This kit comes with both options.
- The instrument position has to be modified,
Required accessories:
- If the car has a BMW Navigation Professional (navigation unit in the trunk of the car), an extension cable is needed from the trunk to the player:
- AH-EXTC-BMW1 (if the navi unit has a 17-pin BMW connector)
- AH-EXTC-BMW2 (if the navigation unit has a Quadlock connector)
- If the car does not have a BMW factory-installed navigation device, the above-mentioned AH-EXTC-BMW1 / **BMW2 cable is not needed, but the buttons of the air conditioner must be moved above the ashtray. Depending on the car, there are four different options for this, including the original BMW part numbers:
- 51 16 8 202 186 = Individual buttons, no ashtray
- 51 16 8 230 902 = Individual buttons, with ashtray
- 51 16 7 001 408 = Buttons together, with ashtray
- 51 16 7 001 410 = Buttons together, with ashtray
- If the car has a Harman & Kardon sound system in addition to the above-mentioned players, the car may require a 13-1190-50 active adapter, but as a general rule, 99% of cars equipped with Harman Kardon do not need this adapter.
- The installation location for the E46 player is very tight and it may require modification of the air conditioning control linkages.
