I hve seen this unit on ebay and wondered if it is an easy fit for my tourer
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-P...em258186dbaf.I had the harmony unit in my car until my son found one at a scrappy,but its the infra red one with the kenwood cd player.It works fine except there is no steering controls

Yes it will,you may have to remove the ISO connector to your Kenwood,if it has one,then fit the original loom direct to the back of the radio., Any problems ,contact Coolcat or Raykay.

The Harmony will work fine.

If you previously had a Harmony then you will have a large BMW connector with a converter lead to ISO for your Kenwood.

Unplug the converter lead and connect the BMW plug directly into your Harmony.

As for the CD changer, normally a Alpine changer connects directly to the BMW plug without a interface unit.

Should be a fairly straightforward job.
