Complete fitting kit to install a Double DIN head unit and retain the original steering wheel controls and parking sensor tones in BMW 3 series (E90/E91/E92/E93) car models.

This head unit fitting kit includes:


Fakra to DIN antenna adapter cable (21-106)

This cable adapts from a Farka antenna connection at the back of the cars original radio to a standard aftermarket DIN antenna connection to allow the fitting of an aftermarket radio upgrade.


Parking sensor retention interface (25-514)

CANbus interface to retain the original parking distance control (PDC) tones and other vehicle warning chimes that are lost when replacing the radio in various BMW, Citroen, Peugeot, Volvo and Ford cars. The original parking tones and warning chimes in many cars are produced by the original radio and when an aftermarket radio is fitted these tones are lost. This CANbus interface reads the data in the car and reproduces the parking tones and warning chimes through an additional speaker. The interface has a universal adapter cable, this needs to be hardwired to the power, ground and CANbus wires in the car. Fitting instructions are included.


Steering wheel control interface (49-BMW-01)

Steering wheel control interface and adapter cable for various BMW and Mini cars to fit an aftermarket radio upgrade. The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard ISO aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable. The CANbus steering wheel control interface is built in to the adapter cable for a plug and play installation. This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio. The interface will work the volume, track skip, source and phone buttons. The CANbus interface will also provide CANbus key present ignition, illumination, speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake outputs. A key present ignition means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel.

Some BMW cars go into Eco mode and the +12V supply to the radio drops causing the memory of the new radio to be lost, these cars will need a power supply directly from the battery to be supplied.

A universal patch lead is supplied in the kit, this is to pair the steering control interface to the steering control input of Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer and Sony head units.


BMW 3-Series Double DIN fascia adapter (50-746)

Replacement car audio fascia to enable you to change the original radio in the car to a Double DIN aftermarket version. This kit uses side fixing brackets for a flush fit, so no radio cage is needed.

Fits BMW 3-Series E90 (2005-2013) including E91 Touring, E92 Coupe and E93 Convertible

Only for models without OEM navigation and with automatic climate control / air conditioning. If your car has heated seats or start/stop then you will also need to purchase 50-746-ASH to relocate the switches to replace the ash tray.

COLOUR: MATT BLACK


PLEASE NOTE: Some cars with start/stop technology may require an additional voltage stabiliser to prevent the radio turning off when the engine restarts.


PLEASE NOTE: FOR UNBRANDED/ CHINESE HEAD UNITS YOU WILL REQUIRE A DEDICATED 49-000 PATCH LEAD
