The standard BMW E46 radio was left behind years ago: no screen, no reliable Bluetooth and no way to use your phone while driving. This Android screen for the BMW E46 updates the dashboard without losing the original look. The glossy black frame reproduces the shape of the center console slot, with physical buttons on the sides and two rotary knobs for volume and tuning, so it looks integrated as if it came from the factory. It works on both cars with a Business CD radio and those with the original navigation screen.

• Wireless Apple CarPlay. The iPhone connects automatically when you get in the car: maps, calls, messages, music and podcasts on the screen, without cables.
• Android 14. Up-to-date system with access to navigation apps, streaming music and internet radio.
• 7-inch touchscreen. Clear image and fast touch response to operate the browser and music comfortably.
• GPS navigation. Use your favorite map apps directly on the car screen.
• Hands-free Bluetooth. Calls and music playback from any mobile phone.
• Physical buttons and rotary knobs. NAVI, BAND, MENU, MODE, BT and track control, plus volume and tuning on metal wheels. It can be operated without taking your eyes off the road.
• Integrated radio. You keep the conventional radio with the car's original antenna.
• Design specific to the E46. Fits into the original dashboard slot without cutting or adapting plastics.

This 2 DIN aftermarket radio is designed for the dashboard of the BMW 3 Series E46 in all its body styles and for the models that share the same console: Rover 75 and MG ZT. Check your version before buying:

With Android 14 you have an up-to-date system compatible with the most used navigation, music and online radio apps, something that Android radios with older system versions no longer guarantee.

The wiring is plug-and-play, so no wires need to be cut or spliced. With basic tools, it can be installed in one or two hours. If you have no experience with car electronics, we recommend that a trusted workshop installs it.
