I installed this in my 2004 e46. Its a great product, I wasn’t expecting much since my car is almost 20 years old. But I was overwhelmed by the sound quality. Truly a great product. Stars all around. Super easy to install as well. The video so well informative and easy to follow that a monkey could do it.

This is one of those purchases that you totally forget the price and just appreciate it exists. Just wow, I would buy this product over again and again if I needed. Recently lost my 2022 in an accident and sought to pay cash for an older car to get me around and landed on a 2005 BMW 325i, and it runs amazing. The only problem was is had no bluetooth or even an auxiliary. One google search lead me to this solution and I am so glad it did. It took me 30 mins to install, and no wire splicing was needed that was already done! Such an easy set up, and was crucial for my 8 hour road trip to Yosemite. My audio sounds amazing and the connectivity has no issues. All while hidden behind the original stereo no obnoxious screen. 11/10 amazing product, I am so grateful!
