I like when I am looking for a video that I haven't been able to previously find and see that some goat uploaded in like a month ago for the culture. Thank you.
Dam man. I feel like such a schmuck not trying to address my window regulator issue on my m and here u are doing this. Thanks for the motivation and nice work.
You're absolutely correct. Those splices you use are perfect for the job (as long as you use the correct tool). In fact better than soldering. As those crimped joints cant and wont fracture under vibration. Hence, as you say why NASA use them.
Def doing another double din in my ls e36. I did the cheapest one in my old dakar 328. Which was actually pretty good for the price. Under $50 for everything.
The reason people hate crimp butt connectors isn't because they don't work... it's because they don't work long term. Properly soldered and heat insulated wiring jobs should last 30+ years.
Bmw crimps and solders the power and ground cables in our e36s 🤷🏼♂️ I usually solder but I think the reason they don’t recommend the soldering is since most novices really don’t know how to do a good clean solder and as a precaution it’s better to crimp than to end up with a potential cold solder joint that is prone to cracking so if you can do shinny clean solder then no it won’t ever Fucking let you down. I got 20+ years of soldering under my belt 😅
Great video! Good tips and nice to know to get the thin double den receiver. Love to hear it run!!! Sounds so nasty!!!! Thank you for making the time for the e36 vid.
Hot glue gives in hot climates. I prefer to use an alternative which doesn’t set nearly as quick as hot glue but you just gave me a great idea of using the hot glue as a tempeoeary holder while the main glue, the “E6000” dries! It has flexible properties and is using in car audio speaker building all the time actually
Hey btw you could make it even nicer now. They have the climate control panel which you replace the entire face of your digital control and it’s a square ac faceplate 😊
Would love to show you what I have done with my E36 radio...utilizing a Sony XAV-AX7000, backup camera. Struggling with the HVAC relocation as the unit is too long and doesn't fit in the back as it hits the heater control box whether I place it above or below the obc. I did get a 3d-printed bezel to surround the double-din unit and 3-d printed bezel for the climate control unit which squares it up in the lower area. Just that heater box seems to be a problem. Not sure what options I have to make it fit.
YESSS ! I remember the first install video I saw and left a comment on it saying they make a perfect frame for it now! This is motivation for me! I’ve been redoing my sound as well and ran cdt components 3 way front and kept the rear 6x9 shelf woofers all being powered thru a Steg dsp amp 🤌🏼 and using a kenwood excelron single din but I’ve been wanting to version 2.0 it myself like you’ve done 😁 Ps bavsound is a rip off!
FYI. You are not meant to do solder connections in a car they can crack. Crimp + heat-shrink is correct... Also you do not need atoto. Just get "carlink" and plug it into the USB in the back. It will connect it wirelessly..
Matt getting an E36 in a week or so, have you ever considered doing this for other E36 owners who are less mechanically savvy? By the way beautiful car and really nice work
if your disappointed with your sound system I recommend investing in some decent-sized tweeters and a low rms sub that can hit lows. Trust me even if it isn't the nicest stuff that will really get the high and low range that most car systems just miss completely.
Awesome video and excellent job. I'd love an e36 but I could not do without a proper screen. They and the dash totally transform a really old car to be so much more modern and usable.
There are “self soldering “ / “ solder seal” connectors . It’s like a butt connector except better. We use them and haven’t had any issues. Amazon, is where we got them from 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@matt13ross they’re definitely not any worse. My buddy and I used them ( no other connectors ) on his obs blazer swap, haven’t had any issues as of now. Doesn’t have a bunch of ride time yet, tune comes last week of this month, so I guess we’ll see as it gets driven. But whatever your preference is go with that I suppose. (Just wanted to mention it in case you haven’t heard of them before)
I’m about to get a 97 e36 328i and it has a somewhat updated single din (kenwood) but I definitely want to get a double din touchscreen with Apple CarPlay. I’m not following the video too well and a lot of the links are no longer available, any suggestions on correct upgrades?
Looks good. Sorry I did not send pictures, but I have no email address for you! The surround for the 2din is what I did but I made it myself with bondo - they probably got the idea from me! It will take 10 minutes to fit the bigger stereo, let me know if you need instructions. The climate control is iffy. The better way would be to remove the faceplate and add corners to it so it looks factory. Takes 30 minutes. Are you going to put the OBC in? I can show how I did it if interested (I have 3 or 4 spare 18 button obc with pixels you can have if you need one - one is missing pixels and I do not know which one so can't sell them) Do not want to go too much into stereo component selection here but the Bav Auto speakers are meant to be used with the stock stereo/amp only. Since the stock system is not that great/powerful they will never sound great. Do not know your setup but if you are running the high level speaker outputs to the wiring in the car that goes to the stock amp without using line level output adjusters- not good. I see everyone make that mistake. The stock amp is meant to take 2-4 watt input/channel and most head units with amps are putting out 12-15 watts/channel. You would be overloading the amp, which if you are lucky will eventually die on you from being overheated. If you are not lucky there is the chance it will catch on fire, rare but possible when you overload electronics.
I am working in getting the climate control to fit in the lower area but the heater box is in the way and prevents my 3d-printed bezel for the climate control from sitting flush. suggestions?
@@matt13rossI’ll be sad when you are done with the 996 someday. One of my favorite video series on UA-cam. I stop everything when a 996 video comes out. Despite me hating yellow, I love this
That's not just you, the auto focus on my big camera lens is kinda loud. The only way to fix it is to get a different lens but good ones are awful pricey.
I've got an external mic but it's mounted on top of the camera. I've thought about getting a wearable one but that's just more stuff I have to have charged, setup, etc with every video.
Ahhh bro I wouldn’t use that deck even if it was given to me for free lol that atto sound is terrible I’ve done an install for a customer is a downgrade
I don't think I will ever see another Colorado zr2 video on your channel so I am going to unsubscribe for now if you ever get a zr2 just put it in the headline and I will find it ,and i will subscribe again, but I have no interest in these types of overpriced crappy cars.

The E36 videos are what brought Me to the Channel Originally! Stayed for the Porsche
Thanks for sticking around!
The panning time lapse during the wiring is an awesome video touch!
Thanks! I've been using a little track system for my GoPro time lapses for a few months now, pretty neat!
Awesome job on the install as well. I’ve done a lot of projects like this and they are fickle!
Nice to see a video with the E36 again 👌
Hope you enjoyed! It's just hard to focus on this car when the views usually aren't there.

You have to shave a little bit off the back of the CC
I have a case that I cut which. Would definitely serve the purpose. Did you CC control sit flush?
Pretty close to flush yes
I shaved my CC all the way to the blue connector and still touching the heater core box..any luck or tips ? Thanks
YES!!! Been waiting for a E36 video, don’t get me wrong the Porsche is awesome but the E36 is SICK!!!🤘😎🤙🔥🔥🔥

Those Arc 8s look great! My dad had them on his e36 M3. I wanna get the FL-5s for my e39 540i
One of the best/simplest looking wheels for these cars!
Love the video and thanks for the shoutout! Can’t wait to finish up that super secret project! 🤫
Gonna look awesome!
Guess I need to work on my M3, thank you for the reminder 😂
Awesome! Get to work!
The ls e36 seems like such a special car to Matt, I’m sure it is super awesome to drive!
You're correct on both accounts!
Question where did you get floor mats with just the M logo .
Oh man, I think from eBay like 10 years ago.
@@matt13ross I can’t find any anywhere only m3 mats . Car is so nice keep up the great work. Love watching your content.
Thank you!
i am going to do that at my e36 thx for the info 😍 an nice video
No problem 👍
Seems a lot of effort for something I'd never use in an ls swapped e36.
I'd drive everywhere listening to the sweet sound of v8
I do love the sound, but love music too. Plus navigation and such is great when driving far (which I do sometimes).
if your disappointed with your sound system I recommend investing in some decent-sized tweeters and a low rms sub that can hit lows. Trust me even if it isn't the nicest stuff that will really get the high and low range that most car systems just miss completely.
I may add a little sub.
Awesome video and excellent job. I'd love an e36 but I could not do without a proper screen. They and the dash totally transform a really old car to be so much more modern and usable.
Couldn't agree more!
Did you consider installing a wireless phone charger pad in the “sunglass holder” while you were in there? May fit? Not sure but worth looking into 😊
Solid idea! But I don't think my phone fits completely in there.
@@matt13ross so true. Phones are only getting bigger so no one knows where it will end 😀 keep these quality videos coming 😀
more e36 videos :) with love from Greece
Are those 3d printed bezel mount can used in m40 e36?
Love it! i Need to do this to mine as well. Also what's your wheel offset? I want to get me a set of Arc 8
Hrm I don’t remember. 18X10 though with 275s squared.
is that a 7” headunit and whats the specific model of that atoto

I’ll probably give them a try when my stock runs out.
does cruise control working in manual cars?
Yo bro what brand are they and where can I buy them for mine pleas. great job by the way
Everything is in the description box. Thanks!
I prefer the VDO Continental head unit with a plug n play harness.
Would want to keep the car more stock?
@ChrisPsRants yeah, It looks very similar to the OEM radio and super easy to install with the PNP harness.

Seems like this will fo perfectly on my heater core deleted e36
That would be much easier than mine lol.
What motor you have in there? Is that an ls3? Also you don't have a cluster but a screen?
Built LS1 with Holley digital dash
@@matt13ross awesome build
Thanks!
I did something similar at it was a pain in the ass😂😂😂😂
So was this lol
do you have a link for the atoto slim unit
In description box
Which exhaust and rims are you running?
Custom exhaust. Wheels are Apex 17X10 all around.
which cig lighter usb port is that? the one on my z3 is bulky and yours looks oem
How u know what wires to which wires

Any double is fine as long as it's not too deep

If you won't use your old radio again am asking for it....
The radio itself along with the mounts and dash bezel thing I made?

Apex ARC 8
why dont you install and mp of course the speakers aint gonna sound that good if youre running them off the deck lmao
