Ordered and installed..! Super easy and awesome upgrade.✌️😎

Thank you this is the exact video I was looking for , for my z4 😄🤙

Great video, thanks!

@0:44 - the Harbor Freight pick tool works perfectly for pulling down those metal retaining clips in the vent.

Thanks a lot for the info !

Buen aporte, gracias.

Thanks for the upload, very informative and concise. I had a question to ask... can you make/recieve phonecalls with this installation? Or would you need to install an additional microphone to the unit?

Thx bud

Does your have DSP and does it work in AUX or Changer mode?

I have same module bluetooth, but when connect the adapter, cd changer don t work?! Can you help me with this problem, please ?!

I want to ask, my Z4 E86 are without Cruise Control. Can I install it myself?

Hi, can anyone recommend bluetooth with the good sound quality? I mean in my Z4 radio sounds perfect but when it comes to the Aux or BT its really like old cell phone.

Which is the command from the radio to link again to a phone....I had it linked but my son erased it.....

How do you power up your cell phone in this car?

There is a 3.5mm aux input on the bottom of the dash. I simply bought an adapter cord and plug my phone in. Works the same and doesn't require an install of any kind.

There is?! Where is the aux input located? Is it stock or aftermarket?

@@90Caner It's stock and I only found it because I read about it on a forum somewhere else. I'd take a picture if I weren't 1100 miles from home. I'll upload one when I get back next week. You can clearly see it though just to the right of the center console on the bottom of the dashboard. I'm guessing it's only on certain models or it would be more known.

Work for z4 2005 3.0 convertible ?

Can the steering buttons change the track when you play music on spotify through the bluetooth adapter?

Unfortunately, they do not.

Good video, but be careful because from my experience, this connection to the Bluetooth device is always powered on even with the car closed what can cause battery to drain out.

I will keep an eye out. I've been running the unit I purchased on Amazon for 5 months. The car hasn't died yet.

Does this interfere with the factory installed BMW Bluetooth device and do the steering wheel controls still work properly?

i have a 328i, im assuming it will fit but does anyone know anything i don't. thank you for any advice

I bought one of these (from China) and it works great. Paired up quickly, played music from KZread Music app from my phone, and I could make and receive phone calls. BUT...nobody can hear me. I hear them, but I am not heard. The unit had a microphone jack and mic but I didn't think I would need it. With or without the mic connected, I am not heard by anyone I call or that calls me. Any ideas? I love having the bluetooth music option but hate losing hands free phone 'cuz I can't be heard! Help?!

I also bought one with microphone. It seems the microphone is necessary.

I did this exact mod but suddenly it switched to the aux port instead of the cd-port. Sound quality dropped significantly. Any ideas what caused this?

Great video. Is the adapter linked for Amazon suitable for a bmw e85 z4 in the U.K please?

@Rurik_JustCruzn

I believe so. You could always look on Realoem.com to cross reference and check if your euro market z4 uses the exact same radio part number as a US market car.

Mode doesn't show aux ?!!!!?

I installed this and everything’s good, however I’m noticing that the Bluetooth picks up faintly on the radio, is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions on how to address

Hi! Would like to get one for my Z, may I know how to order this Bluetooth device? Is there a link that I can refer to? Many thanks in advance!
