I am looking into buying a 2000 BMW 328i. I was wondering if anyone had any success getting their eMpeg installed in a BMW 328i. It doesn't have a traditional audio slot.

Thanks.

John

Bamboo --

From what I have read on this bbs, yours will not be an easy road, but it will be possible.

My first recommendation is to do a search by username on this bbs, and read everything posted by Cambscar, particularly the threads dealing with BMW 3-series.

You will find Dominic (that's Cambscar's real name) to be enormously informed and helpful.

If it's the same John who posted a similar question on the Empeg Onelist, then I did respond at the time, but I'll repost here so it's
archived for later reference by anyone else:-

There are companies manufacturing replacement dash fascias, with a standard sized DIN cutout. Over here, Autoleads distribute
them - I'd have thought that Crutchfield must sell them in the US as well though. The only slight downpoint is that, because of the
layout of the airvents, etc, behind the dash the unit has to be shifted slightly off centre.

Crutchfield's site's down at the moment for an update, so I can't check whether they do actually stock anything along these lines.

John - if you're still at all uncertain about this, then feel free to mail me directly (dominic@cambscaraudio.co.uk at work, or dominic@dynamedia.co.uk at home) and I'll try and help any way I can.
