How to Change the Stereo in a BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Car stereo

In this video tutorial, you can see how to change the stereo in a BMW 1 Series. The video will show the removal of a business model radio and the installation of a "Pioneer" DHX 5700 BT stereo, which features a USB port on the front and an Aux input; at the back, there is a connector for the antenna and power cables, as well as an input for a microphone to use the Bluetooth device. To remove the stereo, you will need a practical kit for removing and installing the interior plastic parts of the car, and the keys to remove the radio, which you can also find on Amazon. First, remove the plastic panels located above and below the stereo, taking care not to break the clips. Now, remove the climate control panel by applying light pressure. Next, unscrew the stereo screws, disconnect the electrical cables, and install the new Pioneer stereo.
