328i 2009 Aftermarket Radio

miaheat77 · 04-19-2017, 06:35 PM

Looking for ideas and or help. I am want to replace my factory BMW Pro radio as the display is going out and there is no current bluetooth available in my car right now (even though buttons are in the steering wheel and radio)

the problem i am having is that although there are some cool ideas ideas out there with even touch screen. My car currently has heated seats. And that is where my bump is. So i am looking for suggestions or inexpensive ideas to change my factory radio for my 328i Xdrive with heated seats.

Thank you in advance!

thank you for all the information. Would you recommend any aftermarket radios. $700 seems a little pricey for a radio.

If you get into something with a screen and Nav it gets pricey.
Before you go any further you need to identify your sound system
and I don't mean the Head Unit I mean the amp and speakers
or lack of amp and speakers, because if you have L7 you are stuck.
Some guys are throwing in cheap Android Units from China I don't
know anything about those other than they are cheap relatively .
There are plenty of good Alpine , Pioneer and mainstream single dins
but if you go into the screened Nav stuff the price doubles or more
for some quality. And most of it looks pretty crappy in a BMW dash.

The display is easily repaired there are kits for it(pro radio) .
If you want to add features you might consider something
like the Dension gateway 500s bt.
Or vist the Bluetooth and Nexus 7 thread.

I've just purchased the EONON CA71650 + V0056 for only US$279
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/361951265...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

- Android 6.0
- Quad core CPU
- 16GB memory
- 7" HD screen

Will do a thread on it when I do the install.

Such as BMW will not be able to run diagnostics or do software upgrades without the original head unit installed. For this reason some do a parallel mount or a parallel system . Things such as PDC , Sos or Sat radio wll cease to work or cause error's head unit http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=head+unit http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1036190 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin http://www.janus-design.net/english/ http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=355089 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=head+unit http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...light=retrofit http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=993447 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1016187 https://www.bmwgm5.com/Logic7_E90_91_92_93.htm http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin Generally BMW does not go with cheap. Also if you have the Logic 7 sound system there is only one Head Unit that is compatible and that the Dynavin N6. There is a way to move the button with heater control strip to the ashtray. Dynavin makes a kit for that.
