Hello, I'm a newbie to the BMW forum!

I've just got a 2004 320d as a company car, and I wanted to transfer my Parrot CK3200 colour car phone kit over to it. I installed/de-installed it into my previous VW Bora and it was an easy job, however I cannot see how the stereo comes out on the BMW.

Any tips gratefully recieved, and I assume that when I get it out it will have ISO connectors anyway? Parrot show a kit installed on a Z3 on their webiste so I'm guessing it should go into the 320 somehow!

The stereo is the standard BMW Business CD and does not have an autochanger or steering wheel controls.

Thanks!

PS Loving the new car, handles like a dream!

Harddrive, can you let me know where you planning to place the screen? I am thinking of putting in this kit but cant decide where to put the screen.

On the Bora it was at the base of the A pillar, stays out the way and less likely to get seen and broken into by some muppet thinking it's a very small satnav!

start on the passenger side of the car remove the trim above the glove box then remove the trim above the radio (there are no screws in these 2 panels just long points which locate (tightly) into the dash) behind the 2nd panel you find the 2 screws that hold the radio in.

Thanks all!

But, oh rubbish, those don't look like standard ISO plugs, no doubt I'm going to need some kind of adaptor to make the connection!
