Looking at the site, not quite obvious what I would need to order (no TV tuner in the car). If I select TV tuner option, the price is £389 but does that then include the required bracket? And the microphone as well?
You will need to check a few things in your car.
1. The original microphone can be used, but will require me to modify it first.
Do you currently have factory telephone/bluetooth system? If yes, is the microphone on the steering wheel column or by the interior lights. If it’s in the steering wheel column, then it’s a little bit more tricky to remove and send to me for modification. The one by the interior lights is easy to remove.
Sometimes, the z4 has the microphone on the column, but also has the microphone grill by the interior lights. This means you can feed a new cable up there with the OEM microphone.
To buy an OEM microphone, is £25. Universal one is free.
2. Check your boot. Some z4s have the carpet flush against the back of the car. Meaning there isn’t space for the tv tuner. A new carpet will need to be sourced.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think cars with amplifiers are ok, since the carpet sits a bit out, to allow for it.
I sell the brackets, but can also be purchased from bmw.
3. Z4s without tv tuners, can purchase a retrofit cable if you don’t want to lose the navigation unit interface and function. Else you can disconnect the nav unit, and connect the blue connector to the tv tuner. The cable is £60.
So it’s best to contact me via email or WhatsApp, so we can go through the options and see which one suits you best.
