hi, year? Km's ? is it manual? thanks

Yes it is, I have some custom software that gives you audio and visual warnings of fixed speed cameras if you are interested..

press and hold the "BC" button whilst it is displaying the function you want to reset... (fuel cons and avg speed only)

I'm not sure if I've mentioned, but I've also got the full Harman Kardon system waiting to be installed as well and I was hoping I could do this all in one go. - if you have the "full" harman system you wont be able to use your original speaker wiring - as it is different. - so using the retrofit loom that works "with" the original will be no good for the Harman system.... Instead of getting the retrofit loom, I'm planning on getting the standard loom as my current one doesn't have separate wires and connectors going to the tweeters. Does anyone know whether it'd be difficult to get the speaker cables going into the doors? (Thankfully I've only got 2) - the door plugs will accommodate the full loom ( with harman wiring for tweeters and mids), you will just need to run the wires inside the doors to the speakers - because there are none on the standard system... Ive done this so if you need help just ask.. Also, to get the TV working I'll need the bumper antenna, and from what I've read, the bumper needs to come off which means its beyond my DIY capabilities. Does anyone know of an alternative method? - you dont need the bumper antenna, I was told by a BMW tech that all E46 have the tv antenna in the rear window, and after some digging, I found this is correct ( at least on my car) ( its just not all have the wiring soldered onto them - once again, Ive done this so can give you tips) - and it works really well. happy to help with things...

Hi Andrew, let me know if you need help.. I've done the same retrofit in my coupe. I have retrofit instructions - send me your chassis no. if you need them there is a fair bit to do from what you have at the moment. I have: Mk4 nav - modded with speed cam audio alerts and modded 08 nz map disc tv tuner audio video input bm54 radio module audio aux input Hi -Fi audio amp with 10 speakers std 6 cd stacker bluetooth integrated phone kit - Mk12 ULF 4:3 screen - so 16:9 is next purchase (- let me know if you end up selling your one!) you will need radio antenna amp, tv antenna amp with coax cables (gps antenna if you go for nav) wiring loom - making one would not be worth it! mounting brakets for the system in the boot (if you havent already got it) I havent seen a bm53/54 used without an amp ( I may be wrong ) - if you use the amp the standard speakers wont do the job - ( there is no independent mid or tweeters in basic system you have at the moment) and you need wiring loom for doors for the extra speakers - or make them like i did. pretty much the entire interior of the car needs to come out ( except the dash ) it is a very cool upgrade and good fun to do. but not a simple job thou... any tips or questions just ask - can send pics etc also Dean

Hi Andrew, I,ve recently upgraded my system, the wiring loom is different, and wont work correctly with the standard head unit - different ohm ratings, be careful with HI-Fi amps are wired different to HK amps as well - a bit of checking is required if you go down the retrofit way.. any other questions just ask Dean

Hi, sure you can - what day are you thinking? i got a new mk12 unit off ebay where i got most of the bits.. call 0274 927 277 or email [email protected] Dean

Hi, I had a drive in a 330CD about a month ago, 2004 facelift 6speed manual clubsport. special order to nz. very very very cool car and bloody quick for a diesel! - rocking horse sh*t is an understatement. about $40k-ish it would kick my 328ci I would have bought it right then, if i hadn't just bought a house and had no spare cash - damit not sure if its still on the market, but call Jonathon at geoff-gray bmw in Hastings... or ask for more details

what are the rim sizes? and offsets?

no i havent, but could be done easliy enough if someone wants....

reminder to people with nav.... I can offer audio and visual fixed speed camera alerts, with the latest 08 release maps for nz.... PM me if interested Cheers

try these wiring diagrams... there is an adapter available "at a cost"... hit the google

Check post "Wiring Alarm into central lock" - i posted full e36 wiring diagrams, should show what you need...

Try this. I wired an alarm to my e36 to give it remote locking etc.. take your time, read carefully.. pm me if you get stuck has all the wiring also.. bmw_e36_wiring.pdf

correct, but I can courier it to you thou..

if someone needs a serial cable interface, i have a spare. although they are very easy to make.. pm if you need one

well, I'd give my right testicle for one of those... just dam cool

Hi all, If anyone is interested I can "aid" them with updating their Mk4 Nav units with audio warning of fixed speed camera locations. - Requires software update to a modified V32 to add voice warning: - and modified Map CD with the cameras added Video attached...
