I have tried tonight to fit a bmw 6 disc changer into my 2001 M coupe. The car was orignally not specced with one from the factory.
There are wires going back and plugged into the amp which sits on top of the metal cage which should hold the cd changer.
I had assumed there would be some wires as part of this loom with which to attach the cd changer to. There are none.
My friend tells me that older BMWs were specced from the factory to either have or not have certain options and then were shipped with specific wiring for these options. He suspects this is the case with the M coupe.
As the loom is not just for the audio equipment (I think) then this would involve me buying a new loom and effectively re-wiring most of the car. This would be ridiculously expensive and is just not an option.
Anybody know if the above is correct or if its possible just to buy the correct wires etc for the cd changer ?
Any help at all will be appreciated
thanks in advance
