Brand New

Complete stereo upgrade kit to install a double din aftermarket radio and retain the use of the steering wheel controls in a BMW X1 E84.

This head unit fitting kit includes:-Radio fascia and climate control relocation panels (50-975)-Steering wheel control interface (49-BMW-01)-Radio replacement adapter cable (part of 49-BMW-01)-Universal patch lead for steering control interface (49-025)-Antenna adapter cable (21-106)-Parking sensor retention interface (25-514)

This fitting kit includes a car radio fascia adapter panel to allow the fitting of an aftermarket double din car radio upgrade. The fascia adaptor allows the fitting of an aftermarket radio into the dashboard by matching the shape, style and colour of the original radio.This fascia kit uses side fixing brackets, the brackets fit directly to the sides of the new radio and the fascia panel. This replaces the need for a fitting cage and gives a flush professional appearance to the installation.The fascia kit also comes with an additional panel to relocate the climate control to the top of the dashboard, this is suitable for cars with automatic climate controls only.

NOTE: Modification behind the radio is required to allow space to fit a double din stereo, we recommend this is done by an experienced car audio technician only.

Also in the kit is a steering wheel control interface and adapter cable to fit an aftermarket radio upgrade. The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard ISO aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable.The CANbus steering wheel control interface is built in to the adapter cable for a plug and play installation.This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio. The interface will work the volume, track skip, source and phone buttons.The CANbus interface will also provide CANbus key present ignition, illumination, speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake outputs. A key present ignition means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel.

NOTE: Some BMW cars go into Eco mode and the +12V supply to the radio drops causing the memory of the new radio to be lost, these cars will need a power supply directly from the battery to be supplied.

A Male Fakra to Male DIN antenna adapter cable is in the kit.This cable adapts from a Farka antenna connection at the back of the cars original radio to a standard aftermarket DIN antenna connection to allow the fitting of an aftermarket radio upgrade.

A universal patch lead is supplied in the kit, this is to pair the steering control interface to the steering control input of Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer and Sony head units.

A CANbus PDC interface is in the kit. This is used to retain the original parking distance control (PDC) tones and other vehicle warning chimes that are lost when replacing the radio.The original parking tones and warning chimes are produced by the original radio and when an aftermarket radio is fitted these tones are lost. This CANbus interface reads the data in the car and reproduces the parking tones and warning chimes through an additional speaker.The interface has a universal adapter cable, this needs to be hardwired to the power, ground and CANbus wires in the car. Fitting instructions are included.
