Review on ASC Car Stereo Install Kit for BMW E46 318 323 325 328 330 - Includes Dash Kit, Wire Harness, and Antenna Adapter for Single Din Aftermarket Radio Installation (1999-2005) by Wayne Moody

Some points to check during assembly and installation.

For those of you who have seen many reviews of such kits expressing problems with installation. Most single din main units have a thin plastic bezel that surrounds the unit's actual display on the front. This is most likely the cause of many landing problems. I ordered a kit expecting this to be the cause and in fact my unit did not fit until I removed this cover. The rest is perfect. Also as a wiring hint if you do it yourself. The main adapter harness I received indicated that the blue wire was for antenna power and the blue/white wire was for amplifier power. But there was no blue and white wire, just blue. There was no sound until after some research, trial and error, they connected the blue wire on the adapter harness to the Amp On wire from the main unit harness. Just to save you time when you encounter the same problem.
