Fascia Adaptor
This Double DIN fascia plate is designed specifically for the BMW X3 (E83) 2004–2010. Finished in sleek Matt Black, it provides a stylish solution for installing a modern aftermarket stereo. The fascia relocates the factory climate control panel and switches to accommodate vehicles with a 5-switch panel opening, ensuring that all controls remain functional.
Please note, dashboard modification is required to complete the installation. Once installed, this fascia enables a professional, clean finish that integrates seamlessly with your BMW X3 interior, allowing you to upgrade to modern features such as Bluetooth, touchscreen navigation, or DAB radio without compromising style or functionality.
Steering Wheel Control Interface
Steering wheel control interface and adapter cable for various BMW 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 installation. This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio.
OTHER NOTES
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.
Cars with original parking sensors will require an additional interface to retain the parking tones, part number 42-CXPDC Installation instructions are included.
Antenna Adapter Cable
Male Fakra to Male DIN antenna adapter cable. This cable adapts from a fakra 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. This is a passive adapter cable, not suitable for cars that need a phantom power supply to turn on the antenna amplifier.
Universal Patch Lead
Universal patch lead to be used with In car Tec 29- series steering wheel control interfaces. This cable plugs into the 29-Series control box and connects to the 3.5mm socket or single wire on the back of the new head-unit.
