Car radio fascia adapter panel to allow the fitting of an aftermarket double DIN car radio upgrade on a BMW 3-Series (E46) car model from 1999 to 2006
This fascia relocates the factory climate control and switches for LHD vehicles with a five switch panel opening, reducing the modification and labour time in comparison to other BMW fascia alternatives.
PLEASE NOTE: Although this fascia is Left Hand Drive (LHD) the radio surround, brackets and heater box modification panels will work on Right Hand Drive 3-Series BMW models.

PLEASE NOTE: Although this fascia is Left Hand Drive (LHD) the radio surround, brackets and heater box modification panels will work on Right Hand Drive (RHD) 3-Series BMW models.

For models with original navigation systems climate control module relocation panel that comes is not required.
Modification to the factory heater box is required to fit a unit with a full size double DIN chassis. We recommend this is done by a skilled car audio technician!
