I've gotta 97 with the sport package and cassette tape head unit and I'm wondering if the "plug and play" will really work. Anyone who's installed this thing? Do I need to buy any adapters? __________________ | | | 12-12-2007, 08:49 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | i dont think the stock ti head unit has an input unless you can get an adapter to make it think its the cd changer. __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 12-12-2007, 08:50 PM | #10 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Quote: Originally Posted by BakeR318 Anyone know if this system is directly compatible with the ti's head unit?

I looked at the Harman Kardon website and found some things that seem to contradict that. They have a wiring diagram that shows all possible wiring setups. Take a look here, and you can see why I would think that the power is given via cigarette lighter/audio system, the ipod is connected to the "brain unit," and the sound is processed via the head unit/third party CD interface. Unless I'm missing something, it looks to me like theres an option that allows you to send sound straight to the speakers, forgetting all the FM jazz. "If your stereo has an auxiliary input, you can connect the Drive + Play's audio output to it for the best possible sound performance." I interpret this as: instead of getting fuzz/static from using FM stations, you get CD-like sound because you bypass using the radio and go straight through the head unit. My question was does the 318ti have an "auxiliary input" so that I can connect it to my stereo directly? Sorry if thats completely, utterly confusing. I'm trying __________________ | | | 12-12-2007, 08:58 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Damascus, Maryland Posts: 434 | Quote: Originally Posted by thesk8nmidget i dont think the stock ti head unit has an input unless you can get an adapter to make it think its the cd changer. | And what about connecting it directly through the 6 disc changer in the back? Wouldn't that work? __________________ | | | 12-12-2007, 09:13 PM | #13 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | not with this product. there are kits out there (such as DICE iPod integration kit) that allow you to do such things (typically 97+). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 12-12-2007, 09:18 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Damascus, Maryland Posts: 434 | Sigh..thats disappointing. On the other hand, I'm sure it's better quality than most FM players out there, AND it has the screen and such..so it's still a steal at $20 a pop. I might still pick one up. __________________ | | | 12-12-2007, 10:53 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | It's gonna be the same quality as an FM CD player. You're basically running the signal directly to the antenna, so it's pretty unlikely you're going to get interference. There's no direct input on the factory radio, but aftermarket CD changers can have an aux input (Peripheral components makes one with a JVC or Alpine unit). __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
