BMW Widescreen
Anyone got any pics of how to shave off the metal ears to fit nicely in the Zt's/75?
I just wanted something for reference/guide as to how to shape them. Thanks! |

If you've not already done so you'll have to cut the small pieces of plastic off from each side:-
Then shape the ears to something like this:- Finished article:- Last edited by J1MBO; 23rd August 2016 at 07:10.. Reason: added image |

I never said thanks for this!
Im about to do the job finally after all this time. May I ask if you found it necessary to round off the vertical outer sides as in your pics? Also, did you use a file by hand?!! Many many thanks! |

I found the BMW widescreen rather a tight fit at the top edges of the console so to make it easier to install and remove thought it worth doing and yes I used a hand file after cutting an angle with a hacksaw - didn't trust myself with a Dremel! Jim |

what exactly are you trying to programme in?most of the settings are fixed if you are trying to set the time forget it as the rover set up does not support this function.unless you happen to have a kbus clock

TP which cuts in even if the CD player is working, it has the option of a hands free, so how do I get access to that, still waiting for a Second hand Nav 2 from Radioguy, so I can get rid of this pile offfff. Rev |

As Phil says you will not be able to set the time/date unless an extra module (the name escapes me ) has been fitted and to use the hands free, though for phone only not for streaming, a BMW ULF bluetooth unit is required. This may not work but from memory; to set the station buttons, tune to the station required then hold the respective button down until the unit bleeps. To cancel the TP; press INFO, select Traffic Information, select No traffic info. Though I may well be forgetting something, it's rather awkward trying to give advice without a similar unit in front of me. Best regards Jim |

Thanks Jimbo...
In the end I did a really neat looking job with a variable speed dremel, taking a bit at a time. Looked great. When fitting to the car, I still needed to ease the dash away a bit, but only a small amount and she popped right in. TIP for people.....:- IF you ever need to remove a screen, dont bother with a tool and faffing and messing up the spring clips, just unscrew the ATC unit, and use your fingers to push the metal springs in, 99.9% of Alpine monitors Ive seen for sale have totally knackered spring clips. |
