CD MultiChanger
Discussion
I picked up a 528 tourer this weekend on a W Plate (Sorry not sure what E number this is). It only came with a Radio/Casette player. Poking around tonight, I found the Multi Changer Cradle in the O/S rear. What is the preferred Unit of choice? There are a number of Plugs to use, so it seems a little extreme to ask Mr Beemer to install. Do Halfwits supply what I need?

I fitted one in my E39 523i which also came without one.
I bought one off Ebay...BMW/MINI unit for £62, plugs straight in as the car is already pre-wired. Just two wires with plugs on the end to plug in and screw the unit into the cradle. Took about 5 minutes to do...works perfectly with the multifunctinal steering-wheel. No problems at all so far! Don't think it was 'reconditioned'...just second-hand.
At that price so what if it goes wrong after a while...if that's what they do? At that price I have to have 4 of them go wrong on me before I got up to the dealership's price! By the time 4 have gone wrong who says the dealer's won't have as well and be out of warranty!
