    Hello.
    Just got my (first) E30 - 92 vert in black. And I want to install the original OEM radio with the Cantaloupe bluetooth system... should be easy enough they said. Previous owner had installed a Kenwood CD player which I have removed. The dealer told me that the my E30 actually came with the less common Pioneer KE83 ZBM and the Cantaloupe system only works with a couple of the Alpine Decks such as the CM5908 - which I have purchased.

    That said, I have a hot mess of wires with some ends spliced and some not to accommodate Kenwood Harness. and I am unsure if I can reverse the mess and install the CM5908. Has anyone dealt with this issue before - swapping a Pioneer for an Alpine deck?

        Reading "dfraid" post, 2 above mine. How do you find out what radio model came in your car when it was brand new? If you call a BMW dealership and provide them your VIN, they can then locate which radio model mine came with?

        Mine is an 87, so I know it is a 2 channel and either an Alpine CM5907 or Pioneer KE-81ZBM, if I call a dealership they can tell me the specific model that came in my car when it was new?

          What is this one, NEVER seen this one before. "CM5907EA"
          This looks like a CM5905 with an odd "NRW" "Wide" connected to the volume knob.

            Yeah, pretty odd. Never seen that one before. Sticker on the bottom says something about a noise reduction system.
