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.
