Does anyone know if there’s any aftermarket Bluetooth kits that would work for a early E46 1999? Got a adapter for it but doesn’t seem to work on it. but it does work on my 330ci

Does your car have a CD changer anywhere, or the CD changer wiring?

There's a very recent post re E46 Bluetooth and the OP has gone for the Grom Audio BT3 kit, which plugs into the CD changer wiring

On the quadlock connectors at the back of the existing radio unit (which you might use to fit a Parrot or similar) there are 2 types from memory - the early ones were round pin, the later ones were more conventional flat pins - if you have the round pins, something like this should help:

Then you just need the Parrot itself. I have a couple of CK3100s sitting in the garage if you fancy one?

Came across a YouTube recommendation the other day in the video feed. Don’t know if this helps but looks similar to E46 so may work:

Hope it sheds some light.
