Noobish question on swapping E46 OEM head units

Recommended Posts

Hey, i'm a total newb at this stuff so i'll try to explain to the best of my ability. I'll put some pics, but I could only find ones of the front face.

I got an E46 OEM head unit off trademe for my mate, he said he might no longer be interested in it, so I am wondering if I can swap it out with my OEM head unit (because my volume button is failing to work nowadays), however I am not sure if it will work.

My car is a 1998 E46, I do not have the part number on hand of my OEM head unit sorry, but I do know (IIRC from the label) it is Phillips,for/from Germany, and says INDEX:04

This OEM head unit I've picked up from trademe has the following details:

PHILLIPS (for/from) South Africa

65.12-6 900 402

PH705011023592

KW 13/01 INDEX:01

Everything fitted ok (I reverted back to my one afterwards) but aerial cable isn't quite snug and there is a small/thin cable from my car which has no where to go into the south african OEM head unit. The good thing was the volume worked (lol) but I didn't test much else before removing again.

Any pointers?

cheers
