I Want To Upgrade My Deck On My 2006 330i!!! Any Suggestions On What To Replace It With!!!

I personally like the Amuse Erikson trunk!!! You should check out the vendor and the picture sections!!! Those areas can give you some ideas for what you might like!!!

Tape? I thought in 2006 cars were coming with a pop-out turntable for vinyl.

I confess to being surprised that a 2006 has a tape deck... and admit that calling it "a deck" adds an element of cool factor to what would otherwise simply be an outdated technology that isn't yet old enough to be considered "retro chic."

Didn't the 330i come standard with Logic7?

Quasimodem · 06-24-2011, 03:50 PM

8-track FTW!

LOLrance · 06-24-2011, 05:06 PM

This e30 m3 deck looks pretty cool

Dam I thought it was some diy bringing the indoors out....sighs

And find out how hard it is to change decks on an L7 system

http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27

You have to change the amp to as there is a proprietary fiber optic connection
between it and the factory Head Unit.
Plus there are side effects.

Thanks to all!!! + sorry to confuse anybody with the deck!!! what i really want is to change the head unit, if possible without messing anything up, or losing any features that i have right now! I know where to get speaker upgrades, I just can't find an upgrade for a head unit??? I'm hoping somebody could help me out with this! Again thanks to all your reply's!!!

Now you got it... "Head Unit". LOL. Definitely go to the electronics and audio subforum, there is a wealth of information there. I think any change in the HU will lower the resale value of the car and you will lose things like the seatbelt chime, steering wheel control of channel and whatnot. But good luck.

I have added new speakers up front and a sub in the trunk with a 4-channel and a 1-channel amp, didnt touch the HU or cut into the dash and I am perfectly happy.

Since people don't seem to know there is one.
