L & G, finally got it replaced with Pioneer HU. Read somewhere that alpine Hu is a bit choosy when it comes to CD's, and mine are mostly pasar malam. I guess it doesn't take much to make me happy (for now). Pix will follow later. Until the next time, Gadget.

Bro,

where did you finally changed the HU?

I was picking up my youngest boy from his Tadika when I came across this shop in Bangi, Sek. 4. They waited for an expert to arrive and this so-called expert didn't even know how to take out the original HU. After I showed him how, he was on a roll with the wiring et al which got my young boy fascinated to no end.

Seemed to know his stuff and they set-up the EQ for me. The shop name is Sato.

Just to add, when they opened up the whole gamut, I could see that my car's interior was solidly built if I may say so and that explains why there was no rattle and shake after all these years.

p/s - can't attached the pix yet. Will try later.

chot, does it retain the MF on the steering wheel.

Jarance,I can't, for the life of me comprehend what MF means (but if you put "-IL-" in between them, then it's a different story).But if you were refering to the volume coinciding with speed, I'm afraid the new HU does not retain that. One of the reason I was adamant about changing HU was this. But technology beckons and I'm but a fool.Regards.

The MF refers to the Multi Function for the Steering Wheel controls. It allow to change the volume and also change the channel
of the radio station or CD player.

I see. Well, there's no MF on my steering wheel to start with. So I guess I don't miss anything.The car belongs to a museum really. My youngest son just got back from munich with his mom. True enough, there's a Z3 in the BMW museum. He went to check the HU and confirmed that it's the same as my former HU, ze cassette player.Written via oficce's Citrix - no paragraphs I presume.
