    I have a 1987 535i that needs a new car stereo. I recently ordered a RetroSound Grand Prix M2A, but I want to listen to SiriusXM. There isn't any way to get SXM on that unit aside from via the Bluetooth connection. I have a dumb phone and won't be upgrading to a smartphone any time soon...

    Hi All, im fairly new to this forum and have been searching for information regarding my recent problem. I had recently installed a vibe powerbox amp (to power door speakers) to a base stereo system (uk). I used a bmw harness which came with the amp i bought (off a gentleman fromebay). After a...
  3. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    Hello! So I have an E39 523i from 2000, and while there are many problems with it, this one is perhaps the most annoying one. A few weeks ago I bought an FM Transmitter that I could use to play music with via my phone, but when I paired the stations, I could only hear the music for like 2 or 3...
  4. E63 / E64 6 Series (2004 - 2010)
    alright gang so here's the deal- i've got a 2006 E64 i bought 3 years ago. previous owner was a doctor, took good care of the car, absolutely HATED smoking so he had the cigarette lighter/adapter converted into USB ports.

  5. E34 (1989 - 1995)
    I'm trying to identify the model or type of this power plug for a radio from my E34. The radio in this car is an Alpine CM5905E. I'm planning on making a harness for an ISO plug so I don't have to tap or cut the factory wiring harness in my car. The last piece of the puzzle to make a direct...
  6. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    Hello, I have a 2002 325Ci coupe and I am wondering what my best option for a replacement stereo would be? I’m wanting it to be touchscreen, have apple carplay, and be really responsive. Please give me recommendations, there seems to be a good number of options but not sure which one I should go...

    Hi, I have a 1996 E39 523i, which has an aftermarket Pioneer 1-din stereo installed (see pictures), and the car also has an amplifier in the trunk as well as upgraded speakers. The problem I have is reinstalling the factory stereo. I want to install the factory stereo but I have no clue how to...
  8. E36 (1991 - 1999)
    Hello All, I am having problems with getting my Subwoofer to sound right. First I tried an 8" JBL Stage, Mounted on a board, fixed into the centre pocket hole in the rear seat, removing the Plastic box. Just sounded flat, when a bass note hits, it just vibrates, I'm guessing the air is just...
  9. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    I'm looking into replacing my radio with a touch screen aftermarket radio. The Dynavin N7 looks like a good option (good OEM look and good software) but is pretty pricey. The Eonon and Egosonic look like two other decent options but I wanted some other input. Thanks!
  10. E82 / E87 / E88 / F20 1 Series (2008 - 2014)
    many months ago before I spent so long making-do with a dinky bluetooth speaker velcro-ed to my dash... I had a wondrous stereo that I believe came stock in my 2011 328xi. What snubbed this wondrous enjoyability... was accidentally dumping a pint of wonton soup over my dash. I believe it's just...

  12. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Had a friend try to add an amp and sub to my stock system in my 04 530i. Nothing worked on the new amp and sub, but now I have no sound from the speakers, only from the sub. Everything else works, removed added on amp and sub back to factory.
  13. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    Hi guys, I’m now the proud owner of a good condition 2001 535i. I’m having some issues on finding any information on SAP deletes, aftermarket exhausts and pretty much anything for the 535i. Every website Or thread I look at has lots of information for all the other 5 series engines besides the...

    What scan tool should I buy to diagnose electrical issues like stereo only working when it wants to ?
  15. E82 / E87 / E88 / F20 1 Series (2008 - 2014)
    Hi, I have a 2008 123d with a BMW Business stereo. When we bought the car it was not running because there had been a fire in the trunk (battery side so a lot of wires damaged..) It has now been repaired an the car is up and running. Still have some fault codes that we have to work out and...
  16. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    Hi all, so I installed this head unit from eonon in 2016 and it only recently started not working[as in it would switch from radio to CD to bluetooth randomly] and I can't seem to find the issue. I've tried emailing their horrible support team to see if they had an update on the software, but...
  17. E30 (1982 - 1993)
    Hi, Something very strange has started happening on my 1991 e30 318i convertible. My head unit will only turn on when I turn my hazards on. And will stay on with them regardless of whether the ignition is on or off. Previously the radio would only come on when the ignition was on. It just...
  18. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    I have a 2001 325xi. There is an aftermarket radio installed. After troubleshooting it seems that when the amp is plugged in the fuse blows. With the amp unplugged the radio powers on fine. I am assuming the amp is blown. It is the E46/4 Alpine unit. Will the HK unit plug in an work or do I need...

  20. X5 E53 (1999 - 2006)
    Hello! Just got my first Bimmer, a 2006 X5. The display on the stereo is jacked and I can't find the manual for it online anywhere (it's not included in the owner's manuals I've found). I'm going to be replacing it, but in the meantime would like to know what all them buttons are for. If anyone...
