OEM > cheap after market forsure. At least you should be able to find a oem business CD unit for pretty cheap for sale or at junk yards!

Just want to let you guys know that it works on a 2000 stereo. My bmw is 2001 but when I got it it had a third party Stereo. So I put one from the junk yard and I found out recently that it’s a 2000 version. At first it seemed to not work but that was because I did not have the cd changer cable all the way in so make sure you get it in there good. Sounds very good better than an fm transmitter.

!!!!QUICK TIPS!!!! 1. You will absolutely need to take the trey out (if you have a trey) to tuck wires, black box etc. 2. You will have to remove front air ducts to remove trey. 3. I recommend you tuck the large prong on the left side inside the car toward the steering wheel and the black box on the right side toward the glove box, this worked beautifully for me. 3. You have to tuck all your stuff in first before you put the trey back in and leave enough slack for the prong attaching to the prong you tucked in to stick out to plug in the back of your stereo. 4. It’s not as hard as it’s seems, in the video it’s easier for him because he didn’t have a trey, if you have a trey just take it out and after cable management is the only tricky thing but you can do it! Either way great video, I really like the product it’s great for my needs! I didn’t use the microphone because I don’t care to have one but for music it’s all I needed.👍🏼 Good luck everyone!

A great video, sir. Two questions: Do you have to have the CD changer in the back for it to work or does it work with just the OEM radio? I don't have the CD changer in the trunk. And also: I currently have an aftermarket Pioneer CD, but I want to reverse to the OEM looks. As far as I saw the original 16:9 navigation system has a different socket than the Business CD. Do I need an adapter or is it somehow plug and play, since I'm currently having a normal/after market CD player? I would like to use the Navi with a similar bluetooth device mostly for the looks, because I don't have the CD changer, where all the maps and stuff should be. Thanks in advance!
