@jamesbiser6838 you mean all the components made in the same factory as the non BMW parts? You know, all those bosch/Siemens etc. Parts that just don't have the BMW stamp on it, yet are 100% equal in make and quality? Do not buy "brand" stuff, find the part number, go look at the factory/brand that made them, then buy that part as off brand from the same manufacturer for easily ½ price if not even less. Branded stuff is just marketing, don't fall for it.
The problem is it looks just like any other $200 chinese unit. If the headunit looked more like the original with physical buttons and correct screen aspect ratio, it would be an amazing product
Awesome edition to the E46 Coupe, can't wait for the finished kits. Thank you so much for bringing out new equipment for a 20+ year old car. Keep up the good work got all your videos in a playlist love them. They have helped me fantastically as I have an E46 330ci Coupe same age as yours 2001. Thanks Evan really appreciate your channel.
Good idea but the price is somewhat high? if you compare it to the Xtrons IX8246BHL (400 bucks). also I paired it with the Resler USB I-BUS Modul (80 Bucks) for additional features like Coming Home Light option etc.
If you guys have a chance to adapt the wiring for this kit during production, can i suggest that you add a smaller disconnect around the kick panel area? maybe like a simple molex connector so that you dont have to try and fish a huge quadlock into the radio cavity.
That is bad ass.. anyway we could have the wiring diagram to wire a 3.5 to factory mic plug so we can take advantage of the factory mic to our head units until we could afford something like this?
Nice video! Looks great! I want to do this for my E46. I’m doing a PDC retrofit right now, will I be able to get the iD6 reverse beeps instead of installing that gong? And for the aftermarket camera, how does that look?
$3500???? Lmao basically the price of a used e46?? What is it that this unit does that the chinese/Xtrons/Avin usa that costs 2-500 bucks doesn't do? And who da heck got time for all that extra wiring? Man yall better make that headunit make your car fly or some shit yall tripping
It’s like id4motion digital cluster fails…no one’s buys for these price 😂 The chine makes much better looking products….we need unit on dashboard on e46 like newer cars..
It would be interesting to see if he could somehow mount it into the dash and similar to the new cars, add volume knob and favorite buttons. Only thing is though, I don’t want perm changes, haha.
@@Armanis_ Hi, you know someone else who did this? Can you give me the source please, I want to do this too but not pay more than I payed for my car. Thanks.
$3500 is crazy lmao. Thats more than I paid for my e46. Looks sick tho!
The previous owner of my 330i put a Bluebus Bluetooth receiver on the Harmon Kardon amp in the back. That worked great for $200.
Tbf, I think it’s all real BMW components, that’s probably the bulk of the cost
@@Phukaloop and bluemusic costs 50 and do the same…so…
Imagine you have a low mileage csl though

thats why we say fuck it and get the 30 dollar chinese unit 💪
There are radios that look like original 2x DIN for 300 bucks😂
Porsche is kind of trying that, but the pricing is well, Porsche... 😅

Nice going bro!

Stark, alle andere sagen nein geht nicht aber es geht
I have a Xtron, same fits a bit nicer. I have a ton of vlogs on the shels, but no time to montage.
I’ll take the Chinese $400 units. Work well and way easier installation
that price is crazy but very cool
$3500 is diabolical.
You are buying OEM bmw parts and essentially paying for the coding that they do
Is nice for sure, but impractical, and more a novelty than a everyday commodity.
It’s cool, but tell me that surround will be better?
Is there a version for E36 😢
Nice video! Looks great! I want to do this for my E46. I’m doing a PDC retrofit right now, will I be able to get the iD6 reverse beeps instead of installing that gong?
And for the aftermarket camera, how does that look?
Oem gong! And it looks very good. We will show it soon
@@EvanGoyuk rats. alrighty, guess I gotta run some wires, haha.
Is that a custom software?

Do you think I can maybe buy the file for the 3d printed screen addapter? I need for a android auto screen .
It’s like id4motion digital cluster fails…no one’s buys for these price 😂

This is awesome! Will you be able to add buttons or a knob on the facia?
Thinking about it
@@EvanGoyuk hmmm👀
Its super cool, but it doesnt fit the e46 well, its just too modern
Tpms integration?
too much $ for too little reward id rather turbo my e46 for that much n gain 300hp vs a lousy screen i can get for 250 thats plug n play
Sounds like a real quality job
You might want to use coaxial microphone cable for the microphone. Or else you will get background noise on the microphone.
Interesting why my comment has suddenly disappeared
Nevertheless your not the first in the world.. you deleted my comment twice now 🤷🏼♂️
