Radio Wiring Harness Plug Adapter

[steven g]

Anyone know the manufacturer and part number of the radio wiring harness adapter that fits our cars. And yes I realize it's 2014 and the last time our cars were sold new was 1993. All I want to do is NOT cut my existing wiring harness and just plug a harness into the plug on my car-side harness that now going directly into my radio.

What radio are you installing?
BMW makes one for e36 integration to e30 chassis.

Afaik, nobody makes a harness that's pnp for our cars, it's all cut and splice.

If you want to maintain the original wiring, I would get the BMW adapter and cut the e36 plug off, and mate it to your aftermarket deck. Pricey though

Removing the stock BMW am/fm/cassette that was standard in the 1989 and 1991 325i cars - both my cars have the same exact radio with the slider LEDs. Not sure of the model number.

Do you know the part number of the E36 to E30 harness - that sounds perfect. Thanks

Part 1 or 2 depending on if you have 4 speaker outputs or two on your original stock deck.

Todd, thanks very much.

No such thing exists in a form that actually works. You have to unwrap the harness back to where they split into twisted pairs then re-wire from there. By-passing the amp is also highly recommended.
