2005 E85 Aftermarket Stereo or Dice mediabridge

[alane29]

Hello

I want to update the sound system from the BMW business cd with no Aux imput .

specifically i want bluetooth music steaming and handfree calls .

I found a aftermaket headunit i like but am in 2 minds as i like to keep the dash looking stock .

I have also seen the Dice mediabridge system which i like but will this fit into my vehicle as i dont have a ch changer ??

Thanks

Personally i'd go mediabridge as I don't like the aftermarket adapter, it looks awful IMO!

Mediabridge all the way!

Thanks how do i know if the headunit is compatible ? i don't remember seeing a port at the back for a cd changer ?

ALL BMW E85/E86 will be compatible with the mediabridge.
PRE-facelift cars MAY require the DSP coax adapter unit as well.


for reference, the cd changer doesn't have it's own port, it uses three pins on the bottom left plug
