Could you do a video on how you did your foot well lights please?

[@BimmerDope]

Club setup! Just need some gals now😀! Good video!

[@vijaysaini3003]

Clean set up, question though since you have a headunit can’t you run the app for the lights off the tablet rather then you’re phone?

[@_mrklein]

yes exactly

[@ahmadkheiro735]

Hey bro excellent mod to refresh an E46 interior, do you have any recommendation to upgrade the car speakers on budget, and can you control the bass etc from this android screen ? Appreciate

[@_mrklein]

im currently still running the stock speakers, just have a sub installed. i know bavsound makes some good speakers that fit like oem but they are more on the expensive side. and yes you can control the different amp and frequency settings from the android screen

[@losrin]

yo my flashlight doesnt work, so im guessing the charger port is broken. How do i test it? or how do i know if it works

[@OhioBallKnower]

Should it be very similar to e39

[@isolars4229]

Really sick man you did an awesome job. You think theres a way to control it over the tablet or even car buttons?

[@_mrklein]

yea you can download the controller app on the tablet and control the lights though there

For a flush install you could use a fuse tap and power it through the fuse box from one of the fuses

Good job. You haven't done door carts?

[@_mrklein]

Sadly i haven't, I need a kit with six led sources instead of the four I got with my kit to add some to the door carts.

[@jagfox2457]

How did you go about getting the lights under the shifter boot and where did you plug those in?

[@_mrklein]

Its explained in the video :)

[@Legend_exxe]

where did you get the adapter you have in the video? its not the same as the on in the desc

[@_mrklein]

I got it locally from a facebook ad awhile back

[@Blacktiger8846]

Hi qiuck question I saw in the Video that you use the same infotainment System like me. Do you reckon it could be posaible to connect the light strips through the android tablet? So that in the end you could control the light with your built in system.

[@_mrklein]

Yes it should work, I use the infotainment system I have to control my all my interior lights and my front halo headlights

[@raykal6691]

@@_mrkleinhow do you do that. How do you get the infotainment system to control that

[@_mrklein]

@@raykal6691 you just have to download the app that controls the lights onto the head unit through the play store

[@scooby6872]

Hello, can I somehow connect that multi lighter thing, when I haven't got a flashlight port in my e46?

[@_mrklein]

You could connect it to a fuse with a fuse tap

[@andreamitchell4758]

did you wrap that shifter plate in carbon fiber wrap or did you buy it?

[@_mrklein]

Its a 4d carbon fiber trim cover off ebay

[@syafiqanas1031]

Is the E46 compatible with any type of android player/screen? The car accessory store near my place told me that it only accepts "alpine branded" screens. I wasn't sure if that was the case so I didn't go through with it.

[@_mrklein]

I dont think thats the case, the unit i have is called a eanon unit i believe. As long as the unit you buy is built for the e46 you should be fine. Ive seen them on amazon and aliexpress

[@coreygaines7432]

@Mrklein where did you get the cigarette lighter that connected to the flashlight port?

[@_mrklein]

The specific one i got was from a local Facebook ad that someone had for sale, there is also a link in the description of the video and another link on how to make one DIY at home.

you have to purchase a auxiliary flashlight port adapter or purchase a fuse tap and power it through one of those.
