Hi just bought a 2006 z4 3.0i se. Generally very good but stereo + cid has issues. It has FM/ mini disc unit in the dash, a cd changer and say nav in the centre console, and an amp next to the battery.. I've counted 10 speakers. Unfortunately the pop-up screen isn't working - pop up doesn't work and if lifted manually, the screen is legible but has defects and doesn't stay up . Cd multichanger suspect (cassette eject button missing so not working). No idea if car has Bluetooth phone... Finally , Satnav module seems to be missing a HDD module so also probably not working.
I'd like to have Bluetooth hands free, dab radio, satnav and if possible a cd player in the dash. Looking for recommendations to replace/upgrade pop up screen and/or head unit...
Not sure if it's worth buying replacement BMW bits to try to get old systems working or just go for new alternatives. A replacement BMW pop up screen seems an option - might it reveal a Bluetooth phone option ? Can I find out beforehand ? If I can source a replacement multi changer cassette, I may regain a cd function too.
Alternative for similar cost is to go for a new alternative cid module with Bluetooth and satnav if they are compatible and straight forward to fit? Recommendations?
I've read it's not simple to replace head unit to get Dab and cd as there's a separate amp? Any suggestions ? I've just seen a thread on dab aerials for z4 so aerial upgrade also needed.
Thanks in advance.
