A lot of people will go for the aftermarket solutions, but my arguement will be that it will lose its prestige as a BMW. I have always imagined european cars (well, most of them :P ).

Hey i have been doing some fishing around on ze webs and i was wondering on your thoughts on using Horn tweeters for your incar sound setup, They do make horns for car specific applications and i know they are pretty much one of the best things you can get for high end tweetage. What you think .....

Hi, a really basic question, I have a sony single DIN CD tuner, how do I remove it? Can it be done without special tools. (My RR speaker has died, I'm hoping it's the amp cos 1) I can't be bothered chasing wiring gremlins and 2) I hate that amp and was thinking of replacing it anyway) Thanks!

Decided I am going to go full OEM homo with my E30 so I will need a original radio. I was thinking about connecting an ipod to it or something or putting another cd player in another location.. What are my options? I would firstly have to source a BMW radio Mike

Guys, Gals.. I looked around in how to's and stickies but cant find any write ups on how to improve the stock sound system on an E39. Eg replacing the head unit while still keeping the functionality of the wood trim and buttons on steering wheel. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Hey guys I got quoted today $130 to install an alpine 102ei head unit into my 1983 Bmw e28 528i which still has its original radio. The guy said that it would take 2.5 hours as they would have to bypass the original amplifier. Does this sound right? Cheers.

Hi guys, Thought I'd do a quick post of my upgrade to help out anyone who is thinking of doing something similar. Started with a stock standard 95 E34 540i sound system, Radio Cassette head unit and 6 CD changer in the boot. I removed the CD changer as I wouldn't be able to use it any more...

Hey, Has anyones HU stuffed itself by being able to play cd's but not the radio? When i bought my e30 it had an oldish sony head unit that would play cd's fine but the radio wouldnt work. I figured that the antenna cable wasn't plugged in but when i got around to looking at it today the cable...

I've got an Alpine 9886 in my 89 Saab 900i which supports USB memory sticks though it uses a cable with captive socket coming out the back. I'm looking at head units to go in my Saab 9000 and the 9886 might work though I'd need to cut a hole to bring the USB cable out under the unit to the 'cubby'...
