Hi, so my e46 has very poor radio reception. The previous owner put a pioneer iPod head unit in so I took it out today to check the Ariel was plugged in and it was..but wat I noticed was another a cable not plugged in an no where for it to go..a quick trip to the local Audi shop I was told it is the power for the Ariel antenna and has no place to go on a aftermarket head unit..first off is this correct and secondly is there an adaptor or anything u can get for it to work?

You can get a specific DIN patch-adaptor for the Pioneer to connect to the BMW loom ;)

Halfrauds (Halfords) or any motoring/audio shop...

Is it just the aerial adaptor?

To be brutally honest, you need to remove and have a butchers behind there, if the wiring is shagged then so are you !!

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi Jay You will need a Diagnostic Program to turn off an Airbag light if someone has triggered the light that could also be the issue Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      From Memory you have a Fuse box under the Bonnet, the main one behind the Glove box and one in the boot You should find a fuse layout folded in one of the boxes Fingers crossed it's a simple fix (Fuel Pump Relay) Good Hunting Dave
