    Hello, I have a 1999 E46. I installed everything correctly. I am connecting to the Bluetooth no problem and I can even skip songs with the arrows, but there is no sound coming from the car at all. Can you help?

    I can connect to it and play music but I can only hear the sound from one side of the car (right side). I tested on radio and both sides are playing fine. Confirmed with the balance settings and it seems that the left side are not audible.

    Well thats surprising, have you verified your phone's sound settings to verify if the sound is stereo and not mono?

    To be honest I don't really know, but I do think that the two systems are seperate units so if you have a standard buisness cd radio it could work...

    J'ai acheté l'adaptateur et je l'ai installé mais impossible de passer en mode CD (NO DISK), et si jamais j'insère un cd du coup c'est le cd qui est joué (je ne vois pas le bluetooth), tu sais d'où pourrait venir le problème ?

    Sa dèpend si tu as une radio avec lecteur cd ou avec cassette comme moi, normalement le mode cd normal ne serviras pas pour la bluetooth, il faudrait que tu essaie d'appuyer sur "mode" plusieurs fois pour que sa affiche cd-01, si sa ne s'affiche pas sa doit être un problème de communication entre la radio et le module bluetooth🙂

    do the controls on the steering wheel still work like skip song and volume up and down?

  • @_Project46_

    Жыл бұрын

    Given that the radio unit gets tricked into thinking that a cd exchanger is installed, all functions like volume and track selection should still be working and also the steering wheel buttons theoreticaly but I can't be 100% certain about that because my e46 doesn't have buttons on it's steering wheel...🙂

    I had the same issue when I was installing mine, I fidled with it for a long time before getting it to fit, there should be just enough space in the rear left corner to fit the conector and if you have a preparation connector for a cd changer try removing it from the big connector before pushing the unit in place. I hope this helps🙂
