IVA-D300 Installation

Southamerica70 · 06-15-2007, 03:32 PM

I have an Alpine IVA-D300 and wanted to install it in my 2006 325i. Any recommendations on DIY?

Pick up a dash mount DIN bracket from Crutchfield, wiring harness, and go to town!

tap into your cigarette lighter for the ACC wire, as the radio harness does not use one. Other than rewiring your stock speakers to an aftermarket amp, it's pretty easy. If you're rewiring to an aftermarket amp, expect to spend a while in your trunk... i fell asleep.

good luck.

I hear that you can't upgrade the car SW with the OEM HU removed. Comments?
