Are you trying to replace the head unit? If so go to sonicelectronix.com look for the metra harness I think it's 70-9003 (if you have logic 7 you will need to replace your amp if you want to replace the headunit). If you're trying to keep your headunit and add an amp pm Technic for a harness.

yea i got a pioneer head unit i want to put that in instead of the bmw professional radio.i tried that web site but nothing for my car there ending at year 05

There are a lot of side effects to putting in an aftermarket head unit
be sure you know what they are and plan for them.

That is it, it just doesn't list our cars on there. If you don't care about the chimes and dont have BMW assist you don't have to relocate the head unit. You would just have to put the stock headunit back in if the dealer needed to do an update.

Also do you have a speaker in the center of the dash? If so you have logic 7 and will also need to replace your amp.

oh okay yea i have the speaker in the middle and how do i do that ?i also have the assitance thing so where do i start ?

You have logic 7 as I thought since you have a 330xi. Your going to need a new amp and you'll need Technics harness as well. You need the harness I linked you to, the one you posted plugs into the oem head unit. Don't worry your going to need it anyways since youre going to have to relocate your head unit.

I'm going to be nice and summarize what you need to do and what you need. You still need to figure out what amp will work best for your needs.

What you need
Amp
Technics harness
Metra 70-9003
Fiber optic cable for head unit relocation

What you need to do
Replace amp
Relocate head unit
Install new head unit

First thing you need to do is read the audio FAQ.. People spent alot of time writing stuff that will answer most of your questions..
Its Even labled at the top of this section - Audio Table of Contents: Upgrading? CLICK HERE!

Any reason for changing the head unit? There is really no benefit, What are you trying to achieve? What are your ultimate stereo
goals cause the logic 7 for a factory setup sounds decent.

Heres some nice basic setups that probably sound amazing.

Do you want better sounding bass? Better sounding mids?
