Man... Talk about old school!

Reminds me of my youth, installing systems just like that, back when these cars were new.

Would you mind sharing a pic or two of your fronts? Curious about the recone too, I have a set of modern ADS (aluminum cones, cast frames, beastly things) I want to do, but can't seem to find rubber surrounds anywhere.

Thanks, and great pic!

Just caught up on this thread, lots of great stuff! I'm looking for a HU to replace the stock one and found this:

what do you guys think? I like the oem stock look and it comes with great features. I am not familiar with the company Continental though.

Thoughts?

It is 24V.

Kienzle MCR-1016BT

My OEM radio for my 92 E30 is certified and would like to get a replacement radio. I like the Kienzle MCR-1016 but dunno how hard is it to install to E30, anyone know is it very troublesome or are there any special plug kit that I should get?

This is how it should be.

I hate traditional car decks, especially the calculator text ones, no disrespect to anyone that has one, its almost impossible to get away from them but the fact that they still make these today in 2016 is crazy. I don't know why car entertainment is so behind. I went for a moder look that still matches well with the e30. I feel like its one of the best decks out there for the look of this car, not cheep though. Its full LCD full color and can even play video. Kenwood KIV-900


It also has 6 different colors it can switch to match the rest of the cars interior. The orange matches perfectly brightness as well. It can do bluetooth calling but not bluetooth music which sucks but can be done with added hardware. Only thing i hate about it is it can not be upgraded to work with new iPhones which really sucks and the bluetooth music issue. Everything else about it is really cool. Aux and usb drive compatible. Currently I'm trying to figure out a way to run some kind of iOS device properly.
