Anyone replaced E39 Bordmonitor with standard DIN Stereo

[nordschleife 0]

As the topic states.

How hard is this to do? Eg remove the monitor from the front, video module, CD changer and tuner from the back then install a standard DIN CD player up front.

I may have found someone willing to give up their monitor but need to leave them with a CD / Stereo.

Cheers

maybe a new aerial cable and euro aerial adadtor plug as well

rememeber the aerial cable goe sto the back of the car , also the amp is mounted there .

you do have to remove the trims both sides of the stereo unit to get at the hidden screws etc . just takes time.

OK, thanks.

So I'll have to extend the loom and the antenna from the boot to the dashboard and buy the adapters.

Anything else I need to consider?

might be easier to just join up speaker the wires at the amp end , they come down from the head deck to the amp then back off to all the speakers , also the amp has cross overs in them , so you might need to fit some small value bipolar capacitors so as not to send bass sound to the tweeters and midranges etc .

or leave the amp there . just take the tuners and cd stacker etc

call me if you not sure
