Headunit install help

Recommended Posts

So just purchased a 95 328i coupe manual, happy as with it so far except the audio side of things.

Its gotta custom boot install in the boot (came with the car) and came with a headunit (Alpine CDA 9886r) that I wanna change out.

I've pulled it out and if you see the attached images it has the thick green wires coming out the back.

You can't unplug them out the back but has connectors to reattach them.

My question is if I buy a more modern alpine headunit, will it have these wires coming out the back?

These are quite a decent head unit from a sound quality pov. Are you wanting something with carplay or similar ?

Either way , you should be able to wire in the latest into your exiting setup.

Just something a bit more modern looking with Bluetooth, aux, iPhone control etc...

I'm looking at another alpine unit on trademe with 3 preamp outputs so hopefully should be a straight swap :)

Thanks guys :)

will you actually use bluetooth iphone stuff?

both stereos in my cars plus the hiace has all that, the novelty wears off when your phone battery turns to sh*t and you have to load it up everytime
