BMW 3 Series (E46) Double DIN Fascia Kit (50-951-RHD)

Car radio fascia adaptor panel to allow the fitting of an aftermarket Double DIN car radio upgrade on BMW 3 Series (E46) car models. The fascia adaptor allows the fitting of an aftermarket radio into the dashboard by matching the shape, style and colour of the original radio. This fascia fitting kit includes cutting guides and new panels to allow easier modification of the heater box which is needed to fit a full sized Double DIN radio into the vehicles dashboard.

If fitting a radio with a high level Single DIN chassis (Such as a Sony XAV-AX3250DB) then this kit allows fitting with no heater box modifications needed. If changing an original non-navigation radio, modifications need to be made to the centre console to relocate the heater controls.

Modification to the heater box can be avoided by fitting a radio with a compact/ single DIN rear chassis at the top the radio, such as the SONY XAV-AX3250DB shown below:

Below is a picture of an aftermarket head unit upgrade using this fascia kit with the original RHD centre console panel modified to fit the climate control module where the upper storage tray was.
