  1. If you want to do that it would be a few hundred dollars to get a SMG wheel. But they way I wanted to do it was leaving everything untouched which is why I did it that way.
  2. I have done a write up on how to do that as well but on the n7carputer.freeforums.net forums. but in the end personally for mine I keep the battery in and did a modification to it so it is trickle charging to 85% when the car is off so it is always charged Don't have a picture of my 2013 mod, but I basically did the same to my 2012 which you can see here
  3. Yeah thats just a digital dash, it doesn't run android or anything. You use them in racecars. We use one in our V8 Touring car
  4. I just realized my post messed up and all it did was quote yours haha. anyway what I said was. I really do need to make this update video because I am using his kernel now (I am actually friends with him) and I am using a n7 2013 now as well. After my exams finish (around the end of june) I will make an update video. because I am 100% happy with what I have now since I dont have any weird issues or any little quirks that bug me. Thanks for your post
  5. @Gabe79 if you like Arduinos, look at my latest thread Also you have any 2013 n7 there?
  6. @zero thats quite interesting, turns out it's just a tablet (like mine) but it's a app that his ECU made, so it's purpose built which is quite cool!
  7. Got any details or the link to that setup? Looks quite interesting, actually quite interested in the screen/tablet
  8. Yeah it's awesome, I have it hooked up to torque as well, and since the other mod is fully custom, you could fully program it to do what you are suggesting. The 7" tablets fit perfectly in the E46, but I mean you could put an iPad pro in which is basically the same size as a tesla screen (Crazy big). People have done that with an iPad pro before, although not in an E46. The app I use for track days is called RaceChrono Pro. It is an AMAZING APP and I would fully recommend it. But if you are in the area or at any meet coming up I can show you it all in more detail.
  9. As good as the stock speakers. So it pretty good. if you want to make it even better, you can just hook up a amp and sub etc. (Also I need to make another update video as I have changed and upgraded a bunch of stuff)
  10. Oops, sorry. I have just fixed it now. Try again
  11. $20 Paddle shift mod for E46 Hey everyone, so this is my 2nd tutorial that I have made, this one is so big I have had to make it in a google doc. You can click the link here to see it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_uIysl8MAggFXkyNoxysgtepTupBn3YlqNbVqsmAv7c/ So sorry if I missed anything, there was a lot for me to remember. if anyone gets stuck or has any questions or suggestions, please let me know as this can be quite confusing. Anyway I hope you liked this tutorial.
  12. but running it without it connected with my hand over the hole will confirm that this is the problem if it doesn't make the sound, correct?
  13. Will try that when somone else gets home as I need a 2nd set of hands to do this. Will keep you updated
  14. Ok everyone, I have taken my DISA out and tested it and here is the results. What do you guys think? I haven't seen one that has a good vacuum and and will sometimes open fully if not 90%. So I'm not sure what to make of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uErmXYIpNJM
  15. Hi, does anyone know what this flappy sound is coming from my 330ci. It seems to be coming from the left. It almost sounds like it could be the DISA, but I am not sure. I also tried unplugging the DISA for a second while the car was running but the sound was still continuing, which makes me think that it might not be the DISA. Does anyone here have any ideas? Also I have no fault codes showing up when I scan the car.
  16. Admittedly this was about a month or 2 ago now, but yeah. I have upgraded from a 320i 2001 to a 330ci 2002. Here is the link to the photos from when I first picked it up https://imgur.com/a/dE6WS Here is a photo of my old 320i https://imgur.com/7tl9Xph (Which is for sale if anyone is interested) I am so happy with this car. I have a few little modifications in the works for it, but nothing that will ruin it or change how it looks and I have a few little cosmetic fixes/touch ups to do.
  17. Does anyone have a pinout for steering wheel wiring/controls inside of the actual wheel? What I am looking for is a power source anywhere from 5v to 12v. It can be accessory or constant, it doesn't really matter too much. As you can see in the picture there are 2 connectors, I'm not sure what one of the 2 connectors has a power source and I don't really want to prod around too much with the battery connected as I don't want to accidentally set off the airbag, hence why I am looking for a pinout or somone who knows what's what in there haha. The car is a 2002 E46 330ci Here is the image from inside of mine: Why do I want this? Well it will all be explain in a write up when I finish this little project.
  18. Just an update for anyone interested. I put a radio harness in the back that connected to the old harness then broke out to ISO. then I got a 5m long ISO extension and ran that to the front of the car. This works great and I have had no problems with this and
  19. Hi Dean. I'm going to move my custom android setup from my 320i to this car What I will end up doing then is just make an extension and run it from the back to the front of the car where it would normally be as this seems like the easiest option. (it's only 16 individual wires)
  20. Found it, but is there a way to get this harness to the front of the car, because right now its in the boot, and on my other 2 E46's (non nav) they are in the front behind the head unit. Is this just an extension to the back or something like that?
  21. Where is the radio (ISO) harness in the computer equipt models? I just got my new 330ci 2002 the other day (Upgraded for a 320i) and I just went to switch my head unit over, but I have run into a problem. I can't seem to find the radio wiring harness in this car. This is what the connector I am tryting to find looks like I should be able to plug this connector from my new head unit into that I cant seem to find that connector. Can anyone help me out here? My car has the BMW TV/Nav screen(Actually doesn't have nav in this version)
  22. Hi guys, just an update. I replaced it and it was fine and fixed. Also @hqstu I have never had to replace the fan clutch on my other e46 (2001)...come to think of it, I don't think I have ever had any problems with it
  23. So you are just saying I can remove the fan and it would still run fine with the auxiliary fan? Do you have any more information about this?
