Installation of iPod Connection Accessory Kit

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Accessory kit

Start by removing the ashtray and taking out the springs from the mechanism by extracting them from the support. At the bottom of the compartment, there is a hole to pass the cable of the accessory kit, routing it to the right side of the tunnel between the plastic and the trim. Remove the protective paper from the adhesive tape under the phone support of the accessory, and while pulling the cable, position the accessory in the ashtray compartment. Remove the glove box by disconnecting it from the retaining screws. Hide the cable between the plastic and the trim and extend it to the back of the glove box. Connect the cable to the box containing the electronics of the accessory, which will need to be connected to the vehicle's power supply. Reinstall the glove box with its screws. Connect the phone to the accessory and check all the functions offered by the new installation.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
