Bro this is hands down the best removal video on KZbin. I looked at a bunch this is by far the best explanation of all the clips and tricks

[@Enfig]

Thanks I really appreciate the compliment.

[@yeaysindeed9705]

One of the few cases where it’s easier putting it back together than it is tearing it apart

[@Enfig]

lol

[@Motorcyclist32]

Thank you Enfig, I purchased the whole kit from your site along with the XAV5000 option. I followed your video instructions to install. Worked great, all of the tips were very helpful. Thanks very much for putting this together. Also, the unit runs fantastic, the sound from the HK system is much improved over the stock Business CD. I don't know what they were thinking. I was quite surprised with the sound quality. It's also neat to have bluetooth, extra media USB and car play/spotify. Great unit and it fit great in my M3.

[@Enfig]

Thank you. I'm glad you like the kit. It truly is a huge improvement compared to the factory system.

[@charlesharriganASMF]

You're awesome, thanks for letting me know that this is a painful, yet simple process!

[@Enfig]

lol You're welcome.

[@lokbomb]

Glad I saw this video before I purchased an Eonon. I bought the installation kit from Enfig that includes everything you need to install without cutting any wires. Install took my about an hour and was very straightforward. I even drilled a hole in the climate control relocation kit, down where the ashtray used to be and installed a flush USB extender. Routing the microphone was actually super easy all you need to do is unscrew your instrument cluster enough to pull the mic wire through and you have it in a pretty convenient location. Thanks for the video and all the parts i needed Enfig!

Excellent walkthrough, the installation was clean and the assistance to program the steering wheel controls was very nice. The little lose trim piece under the radio is just a manufacturer defect with the plastic, I believe a little piece of double sided tape will take care of that. That you very much for the instructional video

[@Enfig]

Thanks. I just wrap the white ends with electrical tape and it does not wiggle. I have never head a complaint except how it makes people feel that it's there.

[@crzivan01]

Wish I saw this before buying my inferior Eonon GA8150A unit. This does not have quite the factory look as compare to the Eonon. But I’m sure the quality is better and it’s a lot less buggy than the Eonon. I did notice that the trim price is lose on the bottom (you were able to push on it with your fingers). Were you going to secure that in any way for the customer by chance?

[@Enfig]

If you mean the trim piece over the radio. A little tape on the white plastic tabs holds it a little better but it does not move when the car is moving so it's not an issue.

[@mikael8819]

Eonon crap?

[@crzivan01]

Yes, I would stay away from it if you’re looking for something reliable and with decent build and software quality.

[@MichaelXia8]

Christian, would the new Sony XAV-AX5000 work with a 2002 E46? It seems that the newer model actually has a shorter depth (relative to the AX100) and should actually be an easier install.

[@Enfig]

The XAV-AX5000 uses all the same parts.

[@mikechu2106]

Really nice install and very clean. I'm looking to replace my BMW nav setup with an aftermarket radio and stumble across your video. I have a 2005 330cic with the H/K navigation setup. How different would the install be for my car? I assume that all the relocation of the climate control and stuff wouldn't be needed since I have the opening for a double din already. Would your install kit also work for other company head units like a Yamaha? Thanks!

[@Enfig]

Only when you have factory navigation the radio is in the trunk and you need to run wires to the trunk. Email us for more info. I don't want to confuse everyone else.

[@guywithagopro9027]

I watched you scratch the leather surround not even a second after you told the camera to be careful not to scratch the leather lol.

[@Enfig]

If you mean at 14:00 that's actually years of crud that tell off the ashtray. BMW leather is pretty tough.

[@Stlsurvivor]

Will this sony reciever model fit in my bmw 2000 323i? Installers are having having to cut, or the kit will protrude. This Sony looks thinner on the back end, which may work?

[@Enfig]

Since the bottom of the radio is thin it slides right over the air box and does not require cutting. We have a different kit that protrudes so you can fit a regular sized radio but I think this looks much better.

[@chieffredoski5134]

Well detail package.

[@levisobczuk2569]

@enfig I am ordering your dash kit.. would this exact wiring harness/adapter work with any aftermarket stereo? Great video, thanks man!

Hi, just got myself an e46 but not really too happy with the radio , my question is, what other sony models is out there for this vehicle preferably with navigation?, great video

This and the Ax-5000 are the only ones that fit without cutting the air box. All other radios work but the air box behind the radio must be cut.

Would there be any hints you could provide as to where to look in the wiring or anything missed in the video? Thanks!!

[@Enfig]

Sounds like you did not connect the Amplifier turn on wire. We changed the wiring after this video. It should have a pink sticker on it that says must be connected.

[@buddrutter7138]

[@duanepope9887]

Is it a T10 or a T15 for the Climate Control. Super Great video!

[@Enfig]

Thanks. I honestly do not remember.

[@treadbroker]

Does this Sony work with the factory amp correctly? I am currently using an Avin product and I get a bad hissing sound all the time with the factory amp and speakers. Curious if this unit corrects that.

[@Enfig]

The Sony has a better built in amp that does not encounter any of those issues.

[@BillyMOV]

So I was using all components in this video, when I tested unit before I took the hvac apart and sound would not play, faulty harness or am I missing something?

[@Enfig]

In this video we used the blue wire as an antenna turn on wire. Turns out it's actually an amp turn on wire. On new harnesses it's a loose blue wire. That must be connected to the Blue/White amp turn on wire coming from the radio to turn on the factory amp.

[@LogiForce86]

Blaupunkt? Here in Europe we call it an ISO connector as it is conform ISO 10487. See also more info on car radio connectors here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectors_for_car_audio Also the connector BMW uses is called a Quadlock connector as stated in the earlier wikipedia page.

[@Enfig]

You are correct. We originally called i Blaupunkt since it was designed for Blaupunkt radios. We have started using the term ISO because the word Blaupunkt was confusing customers. The radio in this car does not have a quadlock. Later navigation radios and 2007+ 3 series had a quadlock. In the car audio industry its known as round BMW radio connector. If you happen to find the proper terminology that would be GREAT!!!

[@juangarcia_]

Hi, I have seen that the forward and backward buttons on the radio are used to control the presets. Can't you also use the buttons to do the automatic tuning?

[@Enfig]

I don't remember how this radio is set up. And it also depends on the source.

[@crodaas6086]

Christian I ordered the same kit for my xav1000 for a bmw 335ci it all worked but the audio wasn’t coming through did I order the wrong parts I am so confused…do I need to connect the blue wire (amplifier) with white stripe to another wire??

[@Enfig]

Yes if you do not connect the amplifier turn on wire then the amplifier does not turn on and there is no audio.

[@Machine_s15]

I thought you could fit the climate control straight into the gap left by that storage pocket you removed? I'm sure I've seen it done like that and kept the ash tray.

[@Enfig]

No but there is a more expensive BMW relocation part that comes with cars that had navigation.

[@afeemmanuel]

Hey great video here is my challenge I have a 1999 BMW e38 740i and want an android unit or a Sony unit like this on it with the steering control all working. Will it fit. Does this unit have a USB port and can it play video

[@Enfig]

They have USB but no video input. A E38 7-Series is a much more complicated install.

[@Andresesosi]

Will it work on 2005 330ci convertible? On the webpage it says 1999-2004!! Thanks

[@davidramez6219]

Does the PnP wire adapter work on E46 cars that came with the factory NAV? Also, really wish you guys came out with a new version that fixes the loose bottom trim. Even if radio is secure, a loose trim is a loose trim.

[@Enfig]

Cars with factory nav have the main parts of the radio in the trunk so you have to run one of our extensions to the trunk. The rest is the same. I havent had a single complaint about that trim. It doesn't rattle when you drive.

[@johnnypena1083]

I always test the radio as soon as it’s plugged in. It could have a factory defect.

[@Enfig]

That does make sense. But when you install name brands like Sony and Pioneer that almost never happens so I usually do not test until right before I put things back together. And that's to make sure the installation is 100%.Microphone and steering wheel control plugs fall out all the time. In 20 years I honestly don't remember a name brand radio being bad out of the box unless the radio was used. But in that case I test them on the bench before I even touch the car.

[@KIRAZERO007]

All the adapters only work with that radio or it could work with any other radio ? Like a JVC KW-V20BT ?

[@Machine_s15]

Sony only suggest a 3 wire adapter for steering controls. Called the RC-SR1. Input 1, input 2 and Ground. They don't mention anything about that black box controller. My unit is hard wired into the car. It is a BMW e46 and the wiring loom has one I-BUS wire that the steering wheel sends the messages to. Where do these 3 wires go?

[@Enfig]

The BMW i-Bus is a data signal. That is why you need our black box. In a car with resistance based controls like older Honda's you can use the included 3 wire adapter that is supplied with some Sony radios.

That's almost always the amplifier turn on wire was not connected. In this video we thought it was an antenna turn on but later realised it was an amplifier turn on. We had to rewire the harness. WE put a pink sticker on the wire that says you have to connect it but people always miss it.

Where do I find the kit to Relocate the heater

[@Enfig]

Its part of our kit and it can also be purchased separately here. enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_RMK_E46_XAV1.html

How come you left the USB input in the back with all the wiring? How would you get it back to the front so it can be usable? Really good video btw, thank you! Update: Just in case anyone else is curious, I left the cigarette lighter out and just fed the USB cable thru it.

[@Enfig]

We are looking for a mountable USB that can fit in the cigarette lighter location but have not found one yet.

[@Enfig]

Make sure to tape off the wires for the cigarette lighter if you use this method. Thanks for the feedback.

[@mqquresh]

Crap, I didn't do that. I just tucked them back and left them dangling. Is it really worth it to rip everything back open just to tape them off?

[@a_munneejay]

is this kit universal for 6.2" double dins? I have a pioneer and would much prefer to keep it over sony.

[@Enfig]

Yes and no. If you use our kit with any double din radio than a Sony XAV-AX100 1000 or 5000 (currently) you have to cut a hole in your airbox to make it fit. These radios chassis go above the airbox.

[@zalroo537]

Hey nice video, is it possible to use ax200 its bigger then ax100, so i doubt ..

[@Enfig]

The back is too big. But the XAV-AX5000 works.
