[@djnme100]

do the steering wheel buttons work?

[@jiwants]

Hey what wiring harness adapter did you use?

[@AirdoutRacing]

@@jiwants already had a aftermarket radio in it so I reused that one

[@PatrickDSimpson]

How usable is navigation on the smaller single DIN screen?

[@AirdoutRacing]

@@PatrickDSimpson definitely usable

[@PatrickDSimpson]

@@AirdoutRacing I'd love to see a video of it working because I think a lot of us are pretty curious.

[@AirdoutRacing]

@@PatrickDSimpson how about a short for it, I’ll get one next couple days

[@PatrickDSimpson]

@@AirdoutRacing That would be great! I'm just very curious about what the screen looks like during navigation.

[@d1delaces]

is the rgb toggleable?

[@JeffEmbracedDC]

Also wondering this. Is it possible to disable the the rainbow effect and set it to a single color?specifically, orange?

[@wassimhammami4477]

good work man don't stop posting 😁

[@garysalter6552]

Can we get update on how it’s been doing? holding up? Sound quality? I like it but don’t know if it’s worth buying!

[@AirdoutRacing]

Seems to be holding up well but I also Do not daily drive this car… still working on interior, need more/better speakers

[@garysalter6552]

@@AirdoutRacingawesome! I think it should be plenty capable of what I need, just gone throw it in a 98 civic I been restoring!

[@onesikm3]

Please let us know as things develops in the e36 and civic as I’m interested in this headunit for the maps functionality. But if it means sacraficing my current kenwood x705(which is currently the most budget audiophile unit) then it would have to be a hard pass. I just finished installing all new speakers powered by 10active channels and dsp. It’s pretty epic! I can sell you any speakers you would like for the e36, either oem replacments or aftermarket goodies since I have a ton of equipment that I need to off soon lmk

[@dannyrosas7334]

Do you need a dash kit for it?

[@AirdoutRacing]

@@dannyrosas7334 no

[@BryceStoneburner]

How is the sound quality? Does it sound clear when up high? Also if you plug in a iPhone via cable will the car play work?

[@JetAgeOfLotus]

Just got mine in but for some reason I can’t make it fit flush like yours. Did you have to shove it in between the vent and the climate control? I have electronic climate controls but saw other automatic climate controls with this head unit fitting flush… need help lol

[@AirdoutRacing]

Probably hitting something in the back of the radio

[@jeffreyguo1607]

I had the same issue. I solved it by taking out the top vent, then securing the radio in flush, then pushing the vent back into place. Follow a KZbin guide for the vent it’s super easy. You don’t need to disconnect the climate control scroll wheel wire like the videos show, u can just let the vent hang to the left. However this will mean ur no longer using the two securing screws for the top vent but it’s pressure fit with 3 securing clips so it doesn’t have any play

[@andrewcurran3348]

Any pictures of the wiring connected? Did you have to cut the car's wiring to install the CP-71 wire pigtail?

[@AirdoutRacing]

Yes you will have to cut into it, at least had to on mine. Might be other solutions out there adapt from Factor radio. But I already had a aftermart one

[@chasebanas1748]

Just get the adapter that goes from bmw connector to wires to connect to radio plug do not cut og bmw wires

[@RBundyy]

@@chasebanas1748 could you help me out with that? where can i find a adaptor and is it plug and play then?

[@Krimeuukn]

Need pov drive

[@skaraudiotesting9074]

Does yours turn off with the key?

[@AirdoutRacing]

Yea

[@skaraudiotesting9074]

@@AirdoutRacing oh lol mine won’t

[@anaqi_hakimi]

Is there any extra harness needed to fit in the new radio? @airdoutracing

[@E36Tips]

have to splice each wire. He just skipped that part in the video I'm assuming
