Guys

Will a BMW Business RDS radio and BMW 6 CD changer from and E36 fit straight into my '92 E30 cab? Is there wiring for the changer already in the car and if so...where? Where would the changer have to be located??

Thanks

Tim

Don't think so.

We've got an E36 318is that had a BMW changer fitted and there's nothing like that wiring in the E30. Shouldn't be hard to fit though.
Current E30 325i, E63 630is.
Previous E21 320/4, E9 3.0 CSA, E12 525, E30 320i, E28 528i, E34 535is, E30 318i, E28 525e, E30 325i Touring, E30 Baur 327i, E36 M3 Evo, X3is, E39 530d M Sport.

You will have to get a round pin BMW connector from a e36 aswell as the changer lead. You will have hard wire the connector. My mrs e36 I've got an I-pod adaptor instead of a changer. You can also use a radio out of a rover 25 when BMW took them over, same connector as a e36.
