Review on ๐Ÿ”Š DYNAVIN E46 Double DIN Stereo Dash Kit with HVAC Relocation Bracket - Individual Row Style for BMW 1998-2006 3-Series by Aaron Fowler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

An almost perfect moving bracket, except for minor imperfections.

Dynavin AC Move Bracket has cleaned the interior up pretty well and looks great although due to minor imperfections I would suggest minor improvements to this design. You must reuse the ones on your factory mount. This creates unwanted play in the cigarette lighter plug itself and sometimes pulls it out when you try to unplug something from it, e.g. a phone charger. The second flaw that annoys me the most is the design, the HVAC buttons sit perfectly within it. Bracket and the bracket itself has no play. But you can't constantly change what is connected to the cigarette lighter, for example you had a Bluetooth FM radio transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter and you have to unplug it for some reason. The center panel on the switch bezel (not sure if automatic transmission cars have this problem too) interferes with the cigarette lighter socket, so on my BMW with a standard transmission I had to remove my shifter, switch bezel and center panel with windows. turn off everything in the cigarette lighter. Also, the HVAC relocation strut is well made, doesn't feel flimsy or insanely cheap, and the only tools needed are a screwdriver with a #2 bit and a T15 or T20 Torx bit to twist the shock strut to remove the Disconnect the wiring harness and knobs and attach them to the new transfer bracket. All screw holes are perfectly aligned and designed for easy installation. Pictures for reference for clearance issues
