New Double Din solution from Metra!
Correct me if I am wrong - but it looks like metra has made a double din kit for the 1 series. I've just seen a press release for a new MOST adapter as well.
There is also an instruction manual I've linked it all below. Dated 1/11/2018 Press release for new turbokit dash kits : https://metradealer.com/news/index/v...0-turbokits-ce 1 Series dash kit : http://www.metraonline.com/part/95-9315B Seat heater relocation: http://www.metraonline.com/part/98-9306 Instruction for Dash Kit: http://www.metraonline.com/files/pro...-9315B_web.pdf The radio is a bitter lower than optimal, but this is definitely a plus over a single din only! edit: MOST adapter is AX-BM90122 |

Instead, I installed this single DIN Android headunit: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1510420 Single DIN is much easier than double DIN because double DIN requires you to cut some plastic behind the dash (look at the instructions for that Metra 95-9315B kit), and the screen will be located very low. If you try a BMW E90 3 series or another kit that has the screen on top and the climate controls on the bottom, I believe the 1 series has 2 screws on the sides that won't clear the climate controls. However it is hard to find single DIN headunits with a screen. Ones with a flip out screen like the Pioneer AVH-3300NEX would cover the air vents. For a fixed screen, there's the Joying headunit that I got, the Alpine iLX-F309 ($900), or even the Alpine iLX-207 ($600) might work but the bare metal chassis and screen will stick out from the dash. Then you need a smart wiring harness to retain warning chimes, steering wheel controls and PDC. If you don't have Harman Kardon, you can use the PAC RadioPRO RP4.2-BM21 ($120), like I did. If you do have HK, it uses a fiber optic MOST bus amplifier so you will need one of these $300+ harnesses: AXXESS AX-BM90122 Connects2 CTSBM012.2 (search on eBay) |
