Car bought without BMW business radio cd head unit and also missing a BMW boot cd changer.... Can anyone advise what cables and connectors to use for both to work together as this convertible model had no cable in the loom so must have been an option for cd changer.

This isn't the e46 board.
I had an e46 and it came prewired for the CD changer(but that is in the US) . I just had to buy a kit(from BMW) an pop it in .
Don't know about the radio but at
this point in time I would look into a Dynavin Nav/Radio that
will give you USB , A2dp, phone Nav and avoid moving parts mechanical disk players that all eventually fail.

Thank you for your helpful reply. Bmw main dealer informed me that E46 convertible models it is optional to have a CD changer in the boot because less area due to the roof folding down, Bmw also informed me they have numerous connecting cables that will plug into the back of the business radio/cd head unit and connects into a BMW multi cd changer. Unfortunately if I purchase a cable and it does not work I cannot return cable for a refund. I was hoping someone would have had same problem..... There is no extra loom pre wired in this vehicle for the above, it was an option.
