R124/LA420 said:Behind the centre armrest in my e38 & my dads e39 - I'd be surprised if you hav'nt got one, even if it isn't there, there is a small flimsy piece of metal covering the hole where tha hatch would go, pop it out and mount your sub behind it, opening / lowering the centre armrest as & when Bass is required.![]()
NickXX said:My e46 doesn't have a ski hatch. I think it's reasonably easy to retrofit one though. My sub is in the boot, and is more than capable with the arm rest up - will be fine in an e39 too.
R124/LA420 said:Like the e38 & e39, I think you'll find the same flimsy piece of metal covering where the hatch should be..... (I may be wrong though!)
R124/LA420 said:Behind the centre armrest in my e38 & my dads e39 - the one in the back - I'd be surprised if you hav'nt got one, even if it isn't there, there will in that case be a small flimsy piece of metal covering the hole where tha hatch would go, pop it out and mount your sub behind it, opening / lowering the centre armrest as & when Bass is required.
I showed an Audio fitter some photo's of Tom's M5 (thieved from the gallery) and he quoted me £1000+ for that kind of work!

Firestar_3x said:Tom, whats your audio source then since you can't access the cd players Single slot, ipod interface?
TomO said:they had to take the back of the head unit off and fit that behind the dash, there is no single slot CD on the unit and its no deeper than the face plate. i guess otherwise it would hit something?
R124/LA420 said:I think, it would hit the gearbox which is under that panel (somewhere!)
TomO said:and 6 cd changer in boot.
Firestar_3x said:Ah yea thats right, remember seeing it now.... Or was that the DVD drive, anyways i was very impressed with the install, very nice indeed!
TomO said:might have been sat nav drive. Cd changer is hidden behing the pull out cubby hole.![]()
Firestar_3x said:Talking about the Sat Nav can you upgrade the software, think Toms only had the major roads of europe on the disk?
