Harmony upgrade to Alpine non TV Unit?

clansman · 25th February 2012, 21:29

Just thinking about fitting the Alpine Head unit that has built in sat nav without TV, together with its multichanger.
my question is what do I need to make a fully working installation? Does my loom have the required connections?
Any info gratefully received

Except for the TV and Radio modules you need the same number of parts as the highline.
Its unlikely the loom you have is suitable.

Its would be just as much work to fit the lo line system as it would the highline.
If you want the factory fitted option then the best choice would be the highline as its upgradeable with BMW parts.
Cheapest option would be one of the double din units

Thanks for the good advice. Double Din it is then!
