Small update. The encryption thing of head units is a big problem. I think it happens when you have a head unit registered with BMW connected services. It wants the signed cert or something like that and it has this lock to prevent online services abuse. I have someone claiming to bypass it and they're sending me their module so I can look at it and reverse engineer.
My aux chord on my car now only plays on the right side. So I'm speed running any implementation into the e46, even if it's not fully baked.
That means I had to turn back to my bezel. My bezel is about 3mm too narrow. I had to double check all my measurements and it seems the person who printed it may have an accuracy issue.
I bought a spare dash just to r&d with. Unfortunately, the Idrive screen is basically the size of the opening. It's going to take some really careful engineering. I may have to hit up Heinz for my soldering of the chip to communicate with the E46 and to also talk about mounting the head unit and amp in the trunk.
