Tape player!!
I'm thinking of changing/upgrading the stereo to something abit more modern. How would i go about this, as it's integral with the dash?
I did dig out some old tapes to see if it worked ok, which it does.
I've had the car a year & this is the 1st time i have tried the tape deck.
Question.. where is the fast forward & rewind??

Ummm...so i need to change the dash front??? Everything works on the radio/stereo, but the speakers are pants. Give them their dues..they are 12 years old!!
Found the forward/rewind button anyway.
I have a 1999 E39 and the tape player under the flap and the head unit with the display is all one piece I think. You could change it as all the MPG info is on the odo display anyway, but I'm not sure there is a way of resetting the info without the head unit,is there? And I don't know if the steering wheel controls will work with a new CD player...Found the forward/rewind button anyway.
I'm in the process of researching a replacement head unit. There are a few things you need for all the usual controls.
A head unit I fancy - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-dva9861ri-i...
Adaptor cable so that it's just plug and play - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/bmwrover-wiring-ad...
Adaptor cable so that the steering wheel controls work - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/29627-round-steeri...
2 13cm speakers and tweeters for the front - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/rainbow-slx230-del...
2 13cm speakers to fit in the back - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/rainbow-slx230-p-3...
Adaptors needed for speakers - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speaker-adaptors-p...
I think this should be a decent improvement over the original stuff. Easy to upgrade to amp and sub etc if that's your bag
