Hi all At bmw owners club im in need of some help please

if this topic has been covered then i apologise now but i dont think it has........

I have a 2002 bmw e46 318 saloon that originally had the 16:9 monitor and nav fitted from the factory.

i have now removed the 16:9 monitor, the bn54, the tv tuner, the gps antenna, the 6 disk mulitchanger, the heater relocation panel and the bracketry for the boot that holds most of the above...

i have left the oem nav loom in the car intact and now wish to fit a factory fit radio/cd player. obviously the standard cd/radio has one type of connector that fits the radio and the navi system has the two plugs that normally fit into the monitor. i want to leave the oem navi loom in the car as the loom goes in every direction under the passenger footwell carpet and i just cant be dealing with the headache of removing it and hoping all over systems are not effected ....

i have a bmw e46 318 saloon im breaking here that has the cd/radio plug and loom but want to know if there is an easy method of installing the radio using the donated connector for the stereo if i was to cut it from the donor car???

so basically i want to do the opposite of most bmw owners and remove nav and fit oem radio instead. please can anyone help me

      Bmw x1 2012 won't start

      Morning Marvin You need a Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable system , I assume that when the Footwell control module and and Battery were replaced they were correctly registered to your chassis ? Has your Mechanic checked the starter solenoid ? much cheaper than a starter Hope this helps Dave

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      As an "Old Bloke" (big 80 has been and gone) I just dont see cutting corners as saving money ?? over a very long driving life I have owned many many cars I have always maintained my own cars (mix of maintaining Dealer Warranty and self). At one point when in business my cars were changed on a mileage basis but after retirement did I want to spend £50k+ on a new car, NO! so My BMW X5 4.6is and may wifes Subaru Outback 3.0 (2003 and 2004) were the last. The X5 and the Subaru are still going strong both around 160k and maintained by me in my Home Garage everything on both cars works as it should (as an aside both cars have had engine upgrades and give 400+whp) both cars are and have been 100% reliable. As the 4.6is is quite rare in the UK 3 years ago I brought a cheap 3.0d X5 and after fixing the bodges I have a reliable and economical X5 to tow with and stop the mileage building on the 4.6 Wrong coolant can do as much damage as no coolant as can a stuck or no thermostat (longer warm up times using more fuel) I agree with using recycled parts to save money just never Tyres Brakes or Suspension parts they are all that is between you and a ditch Dave

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Good advice from Greydog, but in the latter years I would pay for used parts, ordinary mixing coolant with drinking water, bought used tires, and new when I had to. Keeping up with old cars is a chore. One of these days I will pay $240 for a new HV/AC solenoid. Two 3/4" brass, Hollow L shaped, will do for now. I will also remove the inside of the thermostat moving parts (and keep the rest) in the old cars. My other cars are: '97 Volvo 850 GLT wagon, '95 Volvo 960 wagon, and the newest is a Mercedes 2003 CLK430.
