You've had the car since your teenage years that's awesome. I remember having my e36 325i when I was 21 (2012) and back then they were dirt cheap lol. They were like rwd German Honda civics due to their relative affordability and supportive forums. Also nobody truly respected them until Instagram blew up.

This is exactly what I needed to see! Not enough content on putting a double din below without cutting away at the heater behind, looks really clean. Need to do this to mine so I can replace the current radio with a gauge pod

[calhiebert]

That’s super clean the way you installed the double din and USB plug. Has an OEM + look to it.

Ive had my 318is coupe 24 years polishes up well

Man... I watched the whole video as I'm planning to do the same to mine, got to the end, straight up mouth open, instantly screenshotted and sent to a bunch of my friends. What a fucking beautiful car is all I could say, purely perfect! Congrats.

Killer job! For the panel mods in the future perhaps it may be good to invest in a plastic welder and a hot staple gun? They both take a little finess to not overdue it and burn the plastic or take the staple right through a panel. But super quick to learn. Install looks super clean! That stereo delete really brought it together!

Seen your videos pop up on my recommended few times and I had to subscribe. I was losing my motivation to get my e36 until I saw your videos. Keep up the good work bro.

To make the radio think that you are in park you just need to ground a cable called prolly „handbrake”, you can do it even by grounding it on the radio itself.

Finally a decent video on this kind of installation, ive been thinking of doing this kind of double din upgrade on the bottom cubby

[ChromeCalion]

Just ordered these bavsound speakers for my 99 m3. Glad I found your video because I didn't know they required the Amazon adapters 😅

You have an awesome workstation. Good audio, pure bliss

[ravisidhu]

Very very good. In the radio delete you could install gauges or stick the OEM 18 button computer thing

[nate_meador]

Great video, I started laughing my ass off when you cut tried cutting that frame😂😂

[MuayThaitanium]

I just stumbled across this video and idk if anyone has ever told you before, but you could seriously be a stand-in for Jason Sudeikis as a voice actor.

[tylerjensen]

Stumbled upon this video too! You already have the link for the Din so thanks! Let me know if you still have those rear 36 seats!!!

[jemcclean]

Thanks for the video. I have an INFINITY BASSLINK installed in my E36 trunk. You should add that to complete your sound system. Trust me.

[rdturboit]

One tip if you won. On the parking wire you can plug directly with the positive key signal of the radio, and you can play were ever you won on without parking the E36. Cheers ✌️

[austinroley]

It’s hard to watch your videos, only because I get so jealous of how much cooler your e36 is than mine😂 I’m just playing brother, absolutely love your car and it’s very inspiring!

[paulcook]

Yea all new double din radios that I have run into have that wire to connect to the parking brake for their setting instead and video you can just ground that wire out on the chasis of the radio and it should be fine

[robertfoley]

I did something similar. All infinity components with 6x9 in the back. Lots of bass response.
