    I have a euro (316i) HVAC panel for sale right now in perfect condition for $65 shipped with switches.

    Anyone have a picture of a RHD HVAC panel with the radio hole on the right and the OBC hole on the left.

    I thought about moving all the switches above the headunit to other, concealed locations and blanking those holes too, but the wiring would be a pain, and I don't want to have just a blank panel with a radio in it, have to have some stuff in there.
    Yeah I got that one, used it for about a month and then bought a cdplayer lol. I was talking more about the bottom part of the panel, the whole hvac area. I am kicking around the idea of just making something custom, i'll give it a shot and use the stock panel as the template .

    You need to remove that ghay fader switch though ;)
    I'm still using it until I actually get around to installing my audio system. I'm just running my CD changer through the stock headunit. I'm trying to talk myself into dropping the cash on an E36 BMW Business headunit. But I'll still keep it there, just not plugged in. If I put a blank plate in it, my HVAC panel won't be symmetrical anymore, and it will drive me batshit insane. That's why I got the euro panel in the first place.

    Thanks
    No dice, the RHD piece won't fit in a LHD car.

    ...at least, I'm PRETTY sure I recall someone talking about how the dash won't let it sit in there right. You could try, but don't blame me if it don't fit!
