Help with Installation of Aftermarket Radio (1995 318is)
Hello there BMW owners.. haha yes I am new to this site.
Decided to give this site a try.
I'm 100% sure that the radio in this guide I am showing by Pelican Technical, is identical to mine, so I'm sure the adapters the Technician in the Guide used, I will need too. ( I currently cannot post links)
"BMW Radio Head Unit Installition Pelican Technical"
Here is part of the link: pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/E36-Radio/E36-Radio.htm
The adapters I'm looking for are Figure 9 and Figure 14.
The part numbers of these would also be appreciated.
I live in Canada, but I am able to ship my items to my mailbox in the US. However, Canadian retailers would be appreciated. Thanks.

yeah they haven't got back to me yet, it's sunday though !Originally Posted by DennisCooper
anyways, I was about to go and buy a headunit for my BMW and my brother notified me that it only had 4 outputs for speakers. My bmw has 8. What do you suggest..?
Excuse the stupidness of the previous post Dennis. Lol. I kept the post to show how dumb it was. I learned that you can easily run the speakers in a series or parallel circuit. The problem that is present is that nor me or my brother knows what OHMs the speakers are or even what type of circuit the are running. If you have the information on this, it would basically allow me to set up a perfectly new stereo. thanks.

As long as the factory harness wasn't cut you can get an harness adapter and antenna adapter from Metra. Make sure you get the antenna adapter for a powered antenna and tie it into the power antenna lead on the head unit.
