If any of you have fitted an after market head unit what is the surround like to fill the hole the OEM one has left ???, any pictures please ???, I am assuming you can get a surround that will do this job... :?
 
I know one exists because i've seen it somewhere... Remember thinking one of those units with a fold-out touchscreen would go very nicely in it, giving you nav/phone/iPod/etc (depending on what unit you go for) in pretty much the same location where the stock nav screen sits.

I'll have a look to see if I can find it again, but don't hold your breath.
 
Got it: http://www.easy-caraudio.co.uk/shop/facias/plate-for-bmw-z4-facia-adapter-513282.html

And the Google search I did to find that link (probably worth reading through some of the other pages): http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=z4+head+unit+adapter&meta=
 
Screamer thanks for the link, have spoke to a couple of people today and the facia is widely avauilable but you cannot get one where the head unit sits central in it due to the set up of what behind it apparently..
 
Uh, yeah you can. I've got a whole kit spare actually, consisting of faceplate kit, antenna harness adapter, and wire harness adapter. Identical to the stuff I used, happy to sell it to you 1/2 price if you like, since its just a spare of mine.

hey big boy now your talkin... :thumbsup: having seen that i shall do some more digging over here. PM me with what is half price.. :wink:
 
You being in the UK there's no way its economical, I just realized that :)

But $30 for someone on the US should do it. Take the whole kit from me, its just sitting on a shelf.
 
BTW, all parts are by Metra. That should help you look. I can dig up the exact part #s when I'm back if they are needed.
 
i returned mine after a day b/c 1)i don't have a lot of DVD's and 2)i like to pay attention to whats going on around me when im driving... it's a very good location for a screen though.

I got all mine for less than $30 all together(dash kit[2nd hand], antenna converter, and wiring harness)

again WILL WORK WITH 10speaker PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM. but not with CARVER systems

Selling my stereo facia if anyone's interested. It's gray for '03~'04 Z4's, but any competent installer should be able to paint it flat black to match the trims on '05~'08 Z4's.
