At the moment the sat nav function doesn't work on mine (before the screen went), bu the cd multi player and steering wheel controls did, plus it is wired ready for reversing camera (just have fitted the camera yet.
I' not worried about originality, more about cost and ease If I get someone to fit it will be between £60-£100. Plus the unit, plus any extra leads adapters. I I get a second hand BMW e46 it will cost me about £120 from ebay, and £60 to fit, but how long will it last and do the new systems have a better sound quality? |

The OEM head units are just "dumb" screens, with all the "gubbins" located in the boot. If you replace it with another e46 unit, it will be a direct plug & play replacement, so you should be able to save yourself the fitting costs. It will also make use of your Harmon Kardon amp and sub, so should sound better than an after market Android double din. Having said that though, the aftermarket jobs really don't sound bad at all and I suspect you'd be perfectly happy with the sound as is, without running the additional wiring needed for the Harmon amp and sub. You'd also still need to fix the sat nav on your current unit, as a replacement e46 head unit will not fix that issue (the sat nav unit is located in the boot, along with the amp and radio tuner). If it were me, I'd replace with another e46 unit and sort the sat nav, but if, as you say, you're not particularly fussed about originality, then now may be the time to "splash the cash" and go for a modern bells and whistles job.

This is a new car for me (I've had two others, but non with sat nave or Harmon)
In the boot there are two boxes - is one a sat nav? Or are the two the radio and Harmon amps? I have a Tom Tom sat nav I use so not particularly bothered, but interested to know and whether its any good. I also struggle trying to get the head unit out - is there a link of how to do it? |

I have been looking at the BMW widescreen in place of the current Hi-line screen in my ZT - is there any particular type that is best or are all the E46 units the same?
I have the HK system and a BM24 tuner, I'm not fussed about the TV not working so presume I can live without the tuner, but want to keep the CD changer and steering controls and perhaps fit the Mk4 sat nav. |

You can always fit a DVB unit to the Video module to get TV or get the BMW DVB video module but they are when I last looked very expensive even secondhand. Russ

BMW E46 head unit
I recently managed to pick up rather cheap a good working BMW E46 head
unit with all the bells and whistles . the unit is i believe a Dynavin model no E-mark 10R-03 1086 translated to N6-E46. I havent tried anything yet but i am now wondering whether this unit will be able to be fitted in my 2002 SE connisseur. The unit i have in there now is from a BMW E46 but it was a replacement for the original ice unit, still works fine but the screen is getting unreadable. If anyone can help or advise me that would be really appreciated . cheers,from down under!. |
