    Where can I get a replacement 6 CD Changer for the E46 330CI?

    So I bought a 2005 330Ci Convertible 2 weeks back and immediately took her to the X Service Center to do a lot of repairs, dent removal, and interior / exterior detailing.

    The guy I bought it from told me when I bought it that the CD Changer only works with original CDs and not ones copied from a computer which I found very fishy. Anyway I thought this would be an easy fix.

    Now my car is almost done as the X Service Center told me they just have to do the dent removal / polishing tomorrow but I did ask them to check the CD Changer and the service advisor informed it in isn't working but they cannot help I would have to get it from somewhere else.

    Now where can I get a genuine 6 CD Changer replacement for my car? and how much would it be?

    I wanted to put a sound system in the car but I didn't wanna change the head unit because if I do, I would lose the audio controls on the steering wheel and since I like perfection, I want everything working, don't wanna have some controls on the steering wheel that are not functional.

    You can go for aftermarket brand with steering control.. but it will cost you more than fixing your cd changer check on sharjah industrial

      My advice, is for you to go to Sharjah, get a genuine CD Changer from a totaled car and replace it with yours. Should work like a charm.

        Right, sounds like a plan, can you guide me where though? I know BMW Road in the industrial area

          The cassette in these gets stuck and it then seems it's broken- had the same in my M3- try tapping the changer cassette while pressing the eject button- worked for me and the changer is fine again.

          I also changed the head unit (tape) to a single slot CD which does play MP3 CD's

            BMW's headunits are great IMO and don't require any changing.

              I agree stick with genuine BMW.

              If you want a BMW head unit that plays MP3 and has aux input you need to look for an Alpine head unit code 65.126943429

              They are quite rare though unfortunately

                  Thanks bro, The X Service Center sent the CD Changed to an Audio shop and they fixed it.

                  My wife told me about the event, she has a 2016 428Ci and I will also be coming to the event with my 330Ci

                  hope to see you and the others there soon to show you my new toy
