Quick Tip When Replacing Stereo In An Older BMW.

If you are going to be replacing the factory stereo in a late 90's early 2000 BMW, you may find this tip useful!

This is a BMW Z3

 Time to switch out this ancient thing!

The stereo is very easy to remove. Once you remove the little plastic covers on the left and right sides of the factory stereo, losen the small screws and the stereo will slide out.

You will notice a plastic back support braket with a hole in it. Mounted to the back will be a switching mechanism with two wires coming off it.  

 This little guy will cause some head ace if left as is. It will cause problems with the alarm/keyless entry system. What you will want to do is cut the Purple/Green wire and cap each end off. 

And that's it! Hope this tip helps!
