Replacing the Factory Radio with an Aftermarket Kit

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Car stereo

In this video, see how to replace the factory radio with an aftermarket multimedia system using a specific kit.

Removing the radio is not very simple, but not too difficult either. You need to remove the aesthetic parts above the center console, the shift boot, the ashtray, the climate control buttons, naturally extract the old radio, and remove the front trim with the air vents.

Be careful with the wires, as they need to be reconnected to the appropriate slots in the provided kit. Note that during this operation, the position of the start/stop button is also changed.

The video also illustrates the reassembly and testing of the system: radio, video/TV, Bluetooth phone, including the steering wheel controls.

This vehicle is a BMW 3 Series.
