E46 info needed!!!!!!!

Post Mon Mar 26, 2007 9:15 pm

Anyone know of any good e46 uk based forums? Got some e46 questions as i've just bought one (pic's to follow soon!)

I would like to fit electric folding mirrors and need to know what is involved. Will the wiring be there already? Is it just a case of fitting the mirrors and the switch?

Also i would like to fit the oe wide screen satnav/TV, my car has just the tape head unit and 6 disc changer. What else is needed apart from the actual head unit itself?

Good question, when you find out please post it up...
I've been looking at the autofold mirrors for my 330d Msport touring, from what i can gather anything over an 2003 is a major job, but sub that could be a case of the wiring being the same and you have to change the mirror control switch on the door for that with the autofold button. (but not 100%)

firstly, your car needs to have electric memory seats. The mirrors and seat memory are controlled using the same module.

secondly, you'll have a lot of work to do, including getting the wires right 1st time, otherwise you rsik blowing a control module - Ã‚£400 anyone?!

thirdly, when you get out of the car, you can push them in yourself....
