Help with CD changer instalation. E46 coupe!

[psyxologos]

Hallo everyone. I was recently given a cd changer for my e46 coupe. CD changer model number is 65. 12-6 908 948. There is wiring in my boot for the CD changer (or at least there should be) so I thought I have a go and install it myself. Just before I start though, I wanted to ask the good people of this forum who are more technical minded than me.

Do you know if I need a special mounting/bracket etc to fit the CD changer in the boot? I have a 2005 330 Ci coupe. I would like to attempt to fit the CD changer on my own, but I am a bit apprehensive with regards to what I need to do and whether I need any special bracket or mounting. Please let me know if you need more information in order to tell me if I have everything I need.

Thanks a lot for your time and help!

You'll also need the trim panel and oddments tray for CD Changer Item #1 and #6

I had an E46 2000 sedan and I had to change the bracket and the panel with the door, or not be able to install it.If you have it already than you are good to go. I happen to have one for sale (cheap) although it's designed to be installed on the LEFT side of the truck replacing the panel and oddments tray, plus the mounting bracket.It was removed when I returned my wife's 2000 323i for her 2004 325Ci, and barely used.

The bracket diagram is up top, and the access panel is below it.

Perhaps the coupe comes already set up with the brackets and panel, but I just looked at the (albeit USA version) and there are two interior trunk panels one for access to Nav/CD/etc and one without. Maybe your all set but if you are missing any of the parts please send me a PM,and I'll give you a good deal..(My wife is British !)
