tima 5 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Hi, In my E30 i have the BMW radio thing that makes noise when you put it on 96.6 It has an AUX button, The manual says that i can plug in the latest Compact Disk stacker. I want to intercept it and use it as AUX for a phone. So bring it to a 3.5mm. Can it be done? What do i need to do it? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 probably RCA plugs on the back of the head unit. not familiar with that headunit you have posted though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 I have the same Sony in my E34, really nice unit for its time. You'll be to remove the unit and probably the cage bracket(which houses the wiring connector at rear). Should be an external RCA plug somewhere, either floating around or taped to the wiring. Chuck on your RCA>3.5mm adapter, run the lead and then you done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know how to remove this cage without taking the whole dash apart? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

actletpone 43 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 If you look inside it you will see 4 tabs holding it in you need to bend out with a screw driver. Then it pulls right out (with a bit of jiggling) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tima 5 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 There is a little more than a few tabs holding that in. I feel there is a screw or something holding it firm as it seems to wiggle off one point but nothing points to any screws? Almost took the whole dash for a flying lesson.

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Only one screw which is to the right of the connector(missing on yr photos). I didnt have problems getting mine out but different car. Maybe its caught on some wiring or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its caught on some wiring or something Wiring wouldn't be that firm? It feels well stuck. The dash flexes when you wrench on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
