BMW E46 ANDROID TOUCH SCREEN RADIO INSTALLATION

Step #9

Step #10

Step #11

Step #12

• Remove the last two screws (arrows) securing the factory radio cage.

• Pull the cage out from the dash.

• Using a small hack saw, shears or other suitable cutting tool, trim away the excess dash

material (highlighted in

RED

). This will help the radio to sit flush against the dash once

installed.

• Grasp the upper storage bin and pull it forward to pop it free from the mounting bracket.

In order to install the new radio, we need to relocate the climate control panel to the lower

mounting bracket, If your vehicle has a factory navigation system, or your climate control panel

is already located in the lower mounting bracket, please skip to
