GOOD PRODUCT . COMPANY DON'T KNOW IN WIRING

EXCELLENT PRODUCT. I ONLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING AND CONTACTED COMPANIES AND AFTER ONE DAY TRYING TO FIND OUT MY PROBLEM THEY FINALLY SAID TO RETURN THE PRODUCT FOR A REFUND.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits with small modifications.

Kit fits perfectly. The holes for the buttons for transferring the air conditioner had to be reworked with a file to keep the buttons from sticking. There were no instructions on how to program or set up the steering wheel control adapter. The rest is a solid piece.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Fits and looks good on my 06 X3

is a must for fitting a double din in an E83 BMW X3. You lose the top shelf, but it's worth it. The processing comes very close to the original material. I just hope it lasts. Seems to scratch easily. Things to look out for: You can have something like "sticky buttons" when moving the AC/Heater Controller to a new location. The kit comes with a new bezel and I needed a Dremel with a sanding roller to smooth out some of the buttons and some of the holes so the buttons slide smoothly. Not the end

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are flaws

Misleading feature description

Tidy is great, but be prepared for significant permanent design improvements. The finish is very close to OEM but not perfect. Wiring was easy to adapt to OEM and aftermarket stereo. The only major issue is that the steering wheel adapter doesn't let you use the talk button (the one with a picture of a face). The volume and mode/channel buttons work, but you can no longer activate voice from the steering wheel. Rather disappointed. I spoke to a Scosche tech and they basically said just pressโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Expandable

Mandatory for installing dual din in E83 BMW X3. You lose the top shelf, but it's worth it. The processing comes very close to the original material. I just hope it lasts. Seems to scratch easily.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Requires socket
