BRAND NEW!! Business CD43 Radios w/member discount

[12v Electronics]

Hello All,

We have brand new BMW Business CD43 radios in stock at 12v Electronics. These are NOT used or refurbished and come complete with the code card (with US and European codes), removal tool and Quick Start guide.

This radio is a great upgrade for the E30, E36, E34, E38 and E31. It will be plug and play for most models and will work with the HK or non-HK models. It will also control the I-Bus CD changer and can easily be upgraded to control your ipod or have a direct link for other audio sources like MP3 players, satellite radios-etc.

There is no other CD radio that will match your BMW's interior perfectly, improve the sound quality and have the ability to provide future upgrades like the CD43 Business CD. This radio is a factory BMW unit, and was an option on certain vehicles. Use it to upgrade your car from the original cassette, or replace an aftermarket unit that just doesn't look like it belongs there.

Models supported:

1988-1991 3-series (requires additional adaptors)
1992-1999 3-series*
1992-1999 M3*

Upgrade for other BMW models with modification.

*Controls the I-bus CD changer only. Mostly installed in 1996 and newer vehicles.

Wow, that's an incredible price for those. I hope you're still around when mine breaks.

+1 for 12v. I purchased my CD43 from them and couldn't be happier!

Unfortunately, they never break. The only one I have ever seen come back was returned to us full of pennies and other coins.

It turned out that the owner's didn't know that their 3 year old was playing in daddy's M3 in the garage when nobody was looking. When we called the guy he said he was wondering how a "Barney" music CD got in there the week before. We sent the unit back to him and he has been happy since. (we kept the change)

I just like to support vendors who do good business.

But I mean, if you're offering.....

+1 for 12V. I bought my CD43 from them on eBay a few months ago, and the player is awesome!

We have some extra change...

Seriously, please let us know if you need anything in the future. We are a new vendor on this site and appreciate feedback like yours. It is hard to trust most online stores anymore.

Take care,
Tom

You will have to split the change with ESMcBlurM3.

Will do, Tom. Best of luck to you guys!

PS. This is the BEST price you will find anywhere for a NEW CD43. Trust me, I did my research a few months back (and I even paid a hair more before they became supporting vendors). I think BavAuto sells it for ~$600 or so.

[EBM3/4]

I've never seen one for sale brand new for under 500$ before. I PM'd you regarding another possible head unit.

Scoop these up people! You won't see that price again.

Whoa...nice. I'll definately think about getting one for my E36 when the Panasonic unit I have breaks (probably soon). Kinda pricey, but not bad considering it's a brand new BMW unit.

[stanksbeamen]

Nice will this be able to play MP3 Cd's?

Also do you sell the cord to hook up to the ipod? This is very tempting, about how long will the GB go for? Thanks.

It will not play MP3 CD's.

The nicest way to connect an ipod is with the DICE unit. You will be able to control the ipod from the head unit and display text on the screen.

You can also get a simple auxillary input adaptor which will allow you to play the audio directly into the unit from any MP3 player, satellite radio etc.

We do not sell these units, but there are other vendors on this forum who do such as BSW and EAS.

This price will be available until our current stock runs out. We have been notified that the price will increase on the next shipment.

Man, these are tempting... I have a JVC KD-AR870 right now, but even though it looks good, it still looks a little out of place...

[ESMcBlurM3]

FWIW, I haven't had any problems playing ripped CD's from windows media player.

Not only will it look perfect, it also plays nice with aftermarket equipment such as amplifiers and speakers, so if you are ever thinking of changing the rest of your system down the road you will not have to replace it.

Is there a way to get these to work with M-Bus disc changers?

Sorry, I-Bus changer only.

[Bimmer Ese]

Hmmm...very tempting....must resist.... I may purchase one and hold onto it.

On a side note, the CD unit for the X5/5 series, will that play MP3's?

Thanks,
Dan

[jasonf860]

These are plug and play in an E36 right?

Yes. There are no adaptors required for the E36.

The E39/X5 model plays CD's & CD-R's but not MP3's.

Many people have asked about the adaptors required to install this radio in a pre-1992 vehicle such as the E30.

The radio connector plug on these cars is different than the ones used on later model vehicles. Also the antenna connector was a "Motorola" style which was changed to the european style for newer models.

We have a kit in stock that includes the necessary harness connector and an antenna adaptor. There will be no additional shipping charge if it is shipped with the radio.

http://www.12velectronics.com/servle...l?sfs=cdcc6656

You can either wire this into your vehicle, or you can purchase a vehicle specific connector at your local electronics store for a plug and play system. These types of connectors are usually used to install aftermarket radios to the factory harness. All you will have to do is connect our adaptor to the one for your vehicle and plug it into your factory harness. The wire colors are standard, so the connections will be a breeze.

All orders placed by 3pm CST ship the same day.

[The Man]

very tempting but I need to buy other things first

[Stück]

I already have a CD43 and wiring, but I'd like one of those antenna connector adapters you have there.
