    Original BMW radio with bluetooth, hands-free and button control

    https://bmw-radios.com/

    Hello, as modernizing older BMW radios has been my hobby for several years now, I thought you guys might also be interested in my work, especially the ones, who would like to keep their beloved E30 interior original but have some cool additional features like:
    • Bluetooth (the radio buttons are programmed to control the music playback from your mobile phone)
    • Hands-free
    • Preamp outputs
    • AUX input (if needed)
    For the music input the AM function is disabled, all the other features will work as usual (FM, cassette etc.)!























    The display texts for the bluetooth mode can be programmed. The static text can be max. 8 symbols long, scrolling/animated texts that can come before static have no limits, few examples here:

    This radio uses round pin radio connector that came with facelift E30 at the beginning of 90's which means if your car has older style connector you would either need to use an adapter or rewire the appropriate one that I can include if needed. The price is 599$ including shipping to US (with DHL Express it usually takes 2-3 working days) + Paypal fees if paid as goods & services: https://bmw-radios.com/reverse-rds/

    E30 fitting 3D printed microphone housing is 39$ extra if needed, otherwise you need to hide the microphone somewhere:




    If you happen to have any questions let me know.

    Pretty slick. Looks like a good alternative to the Cantaloupe option that seems to have disappeared.

      Do any of these have RCA outputs for use with an aftermarket amp?

          Have also the newer Reverse RDS for sale and it still looks pretty good in E30 ​
          (The radio part starts from 5:31)

            Do you have a website to purchase through? Do you have stock or is the radio in the original post the one for sale? Product looks promising.

              I also list them up in Ebay (linking there is not allowed but they are not hard to find if you type ''BMW Reverse RDS Bluetooth'' in the search, mine are the only ones with the button control function ). The price there is more expensive because of the selling fee. The stock comes and goes so you can keep an eye on my listings in Ebay or just write here which Radio you would like and if it comes, I will let you know.

                              For sale are some of the best sounding BMW original head units made by Pioneer. Comes with new display, bluetooth (instead of AM), preamp outputs and hands-free microphone (with extra cost E30 fitting microphone housings are also available). As tape decks were malfunctioning, the radios are sold without them! The price is 475$/399€ + shipping. Functions exactly like in the video: https://youtu.be/MiuyyVqEOFE
