Good morning

I’ve recently bought (not yet collected !!) a 320D SE on a 52 plate. I’m not sure but I don’t think the headunit has Bluetooth enabled. Is there an upgraded headunit that DOES incorporate Bluetooth and that will be a straight swap for the one that’s currently fitted ??

Many thanks

Spence

I am interested in this as well. I brought myself a 320d SE on Sunday and I am really liking the look of the OEM stereo believe it or not. I like the whole integrated feel. But I am looking to get a DICE to be able to plug my phone in and charge it whilst playing Music through it but the DICE which also has bluetooth is about £90 more! :o

I had a Dice kit in my e46. The pins on the connector bent easily. Fair enough if I was being rough with it, but I wasn't. Look at getting a Dension instead. I had one in my previous car. Never had a problem with it. Whereas the Dice lasted less than a year.

Since then, I've put in a Kenwood head unit, with Bluetooth for the mobile, and a USB connector for my iPod. Its one of those single din units, so having to removing it everytime you leave the car is a bit of a 90s style pain in the #####, but the Dynavin unit didn't impress me at all. Read too many negative things about it. I think Pioneer do a fully integrated unit?

If there is no phone cradle in the arm rest then it may be quicker and cheaper to fit a Parrot or similar in a discreet place to keep the OEM look

      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.

      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

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

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
