Rohil 30 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) So i got myself a E36 328i Touring, which for me is a huge step into the modern world after my '85 E30. What i don't know is, basically anything about audio related things. What i do know is, after some poking around the car i have found hidden away a factory 6 CD stacker which when i hit 'eject' roared into life perfectly. This got me excited. Currently the car has a aftermarket headunit of some flavour with its own in-built single CD mechanism. Basically what i would love some help on is, which FACTORY radio do i need to find in order to work with my CD stacker? I am a huge fan of the factory look, but id like it to work with my CD stacker, as well as add some extra functionality later (which iv seen kits to add onto he factory stuff). Would anyone be able to shed some light on which head unit i would need and whether this would be at all possible? You can see said headunit in the attached photo, as my mate enjoys some seat time in the touring. Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

Neal 544 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 The brand of stacker is on the back of it. NZ new e36s many used Sony units to a certain point. ( my NZ 94 325i) Philips where also used ( wife's 96 328i) Take a picture of the stacker cartridge and post it up. Might be able to tell from that.

BlackAngel 60 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 I have an Anyltime Link plugged into my e39 factory unit - it plugs in where the stacker would normally plug in - so its either one or the other I'm afraid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
