After I replaced headunit,speakers and installed amplifier it was time for backup camera. I bought wireless kit and camera, because my old was not suitable for mounting it anywhere on my x3. I must say that wireless kit works great. It should be easy install, as always things complicate. One of the biggest […]

I was so tired of stock audio system in Bmw. Bmw should have better speaker in his cars. I already replaced headunit with 2 din unit. Now it was time to upgrade door speakers. I bought cheap renegade rx 42 4 inch, 10 cm speakers.They costed me 20 eur. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/assets/ImageGen/Medium/Renegade_RX42.jpg You can check more […]

I own 2007 Bmw e83. It even doesn’t matter which Bmw you own, because Bmw’s are all equipped with prehistoric business radio. I don’t know where this name came from, because it should be CRAP cd radio. I bought my first car in 1998 and I must say it had the same headunit in 1988 […]
