Whatever you do - stay away from the Dynavin and Eonon supposed custom BMW HU - they are both a large pile of junk
Buy a quality HU like Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, etc. - and yes, it's not just a simple swap with our cars - one thing is that if you want to retain full functionality of your car, & the ability to have the dealer upgrade your software - you will need to retain the oem radio wired in, somewhere in the car (like in the trunk) Best to do some reading on threads posted by CTuna to see exactly what you're getting in to...

I put in a clarion nx501 double din HU, kenwood 500w four channel and 1000w sub amp and 1 12" sub. Haven't had any problems what so ever. If I ever do need a software update it's 30 min job to switch out the head unit.

If you just want to add functions to the radio
If you just want to add functions to the radio
Dension gateway 500 s bt with give you usb /ipod and a2dp wireless music streaming. With and L7 system if you change the head unit you have to change the amp to and then you have to decide which speakers to change and or power. Its a major project in terms of cost , time and complexity . Making a custom bezel would be a good 3d printer project . |
