dvd headunit

Post Sun Mar 20, 2011 6:55 pm

Right just fitted my dvd headunit I have (I know some people dont like them in E30's because its not oem, but I like it) and I have found a problem.

When the screen comes out of the dash, it hits the indicator stalk. Its not a major problem because if the indicator is pulled back for high beam it clears it, but dont want to have to do that forever obviously.

So has any one else had this problem, and if so what did you do to solve it? I have thought about shortening the length of the stalk.

Fit a heater panel from a lhd car problem solved .Some people have doctored the stock but the lhd heater panel is a better option imo.

Whats the difference between the rhd and lhd ones? And where is the best place to get one?

I think I know what you mean now. So the clock and the headunit swap places if that meakes any sense.

Exactly what i did!!
You'll find it's not quite a perfect fit, but it will go in without any adjustment, unless your a perfectionist!!
Tbh it wouldn't take much to make it fit better, but that's the least of my worries!!
