double din in an e30 anyone???

[Schnitzer318is]

If you took the time to read the info on the link, you would have read that he doesn't get full deflection (full open or close) of the controls. I sure that could be worked with.

I was talking about the e36 dash thing... not his controls. Wouldn't want to do the e36 dash in an e30, but was just curious if it had been done already after someone mentioned it.

BTW George I still have that dash mat :)

why not get a 316 radio console which puts your radio in the middle

Single DIN? Chop off the wiper control arm.

thats what i did when i had my 7" pioneer in my old E.






good ol' bolt/fence cutter did the trick.

Yeah I should have made that a bit clearer
I DO get full vent open and close movement
I DON'T get full button movement
Without the lever setup on the back, full vent flap travel is arrived at with half the button travel. (Think back to your basic physics classes at school re levers)

Hopefully that is a bit clearer

What I do want to do is change the vent control to a solenoid setup with push buttons mounted near the headlight switch and change the slide button part of the HVAC fascia to an ashtray/cointray

when you do that let me no, sliders are so 1990's...

I love the e30 dash. The only dashes that are better imo are the F1 and e39

[george graves]

Didn't even know that was possible??? Details anyone? Or is it some ridiculous custom ordeal to get it to fit? I'm guessing it is...

I would say that an E36 dash is about 6" wider than an E30s.

Just guessing here, but I think it just might require some fabrication.

P.S. i agree the e30 dash shows its age, id like to switch to a e36 dash that i no of lieing around, but has anyone tackled this? i no the VW guys do this all day long....

anyone have any links how to pull the heater controls out without breaking anything?

the radio is yours(PM me)

and thanks for the links, ill tackle this after the engine swap, i wasnt sure if the heater controls could be moved , question answered!! i dont think id put plastic around it though, carbon would look better.

now i need to find out which companies play divx, and have built in nav

Yeah, I think I was supposed to do some sketches or some shit...

Hey I would be more than happy to participate in the sub GB but the shipping to Australia would be a bitch
