🔊 DYNAVIN E46 Double DIN Stereo Dash Kit with HVAC Relocation Bracket - Individual Row Style for BMW 1998-2006 3-Series Review

Looks great in my E46 with the Avin Avant 4 stereo installed. I have a wireless CarPlay adapter that used to be in the glove box but now plugs into the USB port on this bar. Not sure I like not having one, but it's now easier to plug in the cable if I ever need it. I don't think it's too flimsy, but it definitely flexes more than factory plastic. It took some effort to hold it in place when screwing it in, but works great after that. The cigarette lighter socket doesn't fit well and I can't…

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…

Perfect fit. Must have if you have a Dynavin, Eonon etc head unit for your BMW e46. The non-USB charging connector is NOT WORKING for me. USB and cigarette lighter work. Not sure if I have a faulty kit or if it's because I'm using an Eonon unit and not a Dynavin.

As with other Dynavin products, this is a good idea with very poor execution: 1. The plastic is VERY thin. I wouldn't be surprised if it (or the HVAC controls) squeaks when driven hard.2. The USB and 12V plug really should be angled 30-45 degrees up. But it is difficult to connect to the bottom USB port. I tried connecting my old charger to 12 volts and again it barely fit in the switch housing. How did their QA miss this?3. My old 12 volt outlet didn't fit the new shell: the holes were less…

Much better than the Metra dash kit, but costs twice as much and doesn't even include a radio installation kit. USB works fine and looks a lot cleaner than glove box cables etc. For $90 I expected the plastic to be a little better or at least as good as what it replaced. It's very thin and I believe it will break easily if you don't install it carefully. For me, the mount was wrong. I believe this will be shipped in such a way that it will not break. However, Dynavin doesn't tell you this, nor…

The Dynavin AC carry mount cleaned the interior up pretty well and looks fantastic although due to minor imperfections I would suggest some minor changes to the design. The first downside is that it doesn't come with its own 12V cigarette lighter plug, so you'll have to re-use the plug from the 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…
