Well my friend and i decided to try a headunit to see if that solves our problems, and guess what it did!Well here are some pics tos how yall. If you guys need help just ask

Pic with the secreat comartment out.

here is a wider view of the taking part things. So If you want to do it you cans ee what you gotta do.

This is the secreat compartment out of its pain cover.The next few pisc will show you how to sorta remove it.. well give you an idea

Here is one of the tabs holding the compartment in. You will need something small to get this out from the front. I used tiny needle noise pliers. You might be able to remove this area with out taking everything out.... MIGHT

That hole you see is where the locking pin goes in. one on each side

Our alpine into its hole. IT FITS IN WITH NO BRACKET!

Pic of the cage... I had to brake of two pint abs at the top to hold it in...

testing the unit out beofre everything goes back.

Put it back in nice an snug. Tip for those thinking of this you might want to remove the conecter in the back (ipod cable?) An stick it in the upper holes.

Everything working!

more stuff to come!

BMW created their factory h.u to be a pain to remove, and add a diffrent one in. Everything is tied together in the system. There is a company that make a special din to fit in the center... But it just doesn't look right and also cost a little over 500 dollars. We are planning to put a PAC system in.My friend was ok with this instal , becasue of problem he was having, also he just puts a disc in and goes...
