Help Needed!!

DR1er · 08-07-2009, 06:35 PM

Hello all,

I have a situation with my HU: I have an E87 (VIN PZ46079). I was doing a retrofit (Pro Navi) so I removed my PRO HU (the one that came from factory) and sold it... I didn't complete the navi retrofit and I decided to sell the car; so I wanted to put it back to stock. I bought and installed a PRO HU (part no. 65129178860) but when installed, the sound was really really low. I took the car to BMW and they told me that the HU I bought was not compatible with my car and that the only compatible HU would be 65129189200, which of course I cannot find anywhere but only at BMW and the cost is around 1K

Is it so that only one HU is compatible with my car? I had understood that any Pro HU would work in my car as long as it was the facelifted version (since my car had one from factory)... even without coding?

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated... I wouldn't like to pay unnecessarily 1K when you can find FL HUs for around US$200.00 at Ebay.

Anyone? could advise me on this? and/or anyone selling a Professional HU that could fit my car?

Thanks in advance
