Android Auto in an E46?!
This video is not sponsored, all items purchased with my own money and views are genuine!
Android auto works as expected, not got an apple device to try car play unfortunately
I'm very impressed with the thoroughness of this Eonon head unit, while I get the touch screen isn't ideal for use while driving and the lack of physical buttons is a shame, I haven't really noticed it being tricky to operate! Maps and music all work well, even with the HK amplifierm, all in all very impressed with this.

I went on holiday, and the BMW broke... again

I went for a long relaxing holiday, and when I got back I was greated by siezed brakes all round on the E46, after looking into it I found calipers weren't behaving so replaced both the fronts for a cost of £82!

How to Change the Interior Fan Resistor Pack on a VW Polo 6R
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
A bit of work on a car that's not my own! This problem can be quite common on any car, and they all follow a roughly similar simple system. The resistor packs get hot and fail over time, so if your fan is only blowing on speed 4, then this is probably why! Definitely worth knowing how "easy" a fix your interior fan only working on the max speed is - be aware that these resistors do get hot whic...

Can a BMW E30 be a practical daily driver?
Honda civic 7 2003 worked, thanks
Just fixed mine before I came across this video, did you take the old resister out by rotating it inside the hole, the video I watched before I did the job told me to pry it out with a screwdriver, which I think made me damage the hole (luckily the new resistor still fit inside)
@@hmwh4t yeah I think by memory it rotates into place 👍
My 84 318i was with me for 26 years and 380 k. The floor rusted out and I eventually sold it for 100. But I would have driven it to South America the next morning without concern, it was that reliable.
Having same problem with my 2014 polo.. although blower works on both 3 and 4... do you suspect is still resistor.?
@@PatchedThePipe it could still be the blower resistor, if you have a multi meter you can test it if you pull it out. Check continuity on the earth leg and all of the others, if no continuity it's bad 👍
Strong work. It worked Thank you
Thanks for your sharing! This is a very popular head unit by Eonon for E46. Enjoy driving with Eonon! ☺
Hi what make and model number is this thx
It's an Eonon e4612s-6g
Having the same problem in my Polo, how did you attach the resistor? Was there any soldering/crimping required?
@@mikebarnes6198 no soldering or crimping, it plugs onto the stock VW plug 👍
I have a 2003 E46 convertible without nav or HK with the same harness as yours, but mine doesn't connect to the radio harness completely. Was yours completely plug and play?
It was yeah, I didn't have to modify anything to get it to fit or work, what bit isn't connecting properly?
Does it drain the battery at all when you switch off the engine? I purchased the XTRONS version a couple of months ago, installed it, it doesn't actually go into standby when you switch off, it just sleeps and drains the battery. So got rid of it and sent it back! If this is all good and doesn't drain the battery then I'm tempted to purchase!
@@TonyFlynn1984 I've disabled the sleep mode, it's buried in the settings of this one somewhere, had it around a month and I've not noticed any battery drain issues so far 👍
Looks really good, mate. Got my own aftermarket head unit for my Mercedes 2008 W204. It only works for just audio stuffs and my reverse camera. The fact you got it to monitor your car fuel consumption is really good! Its a good way to refresh your old your car for cheap. again, nice vid. Much love from Singapore
Had my e46 330cd for 19 years 309bhp gun metal grey i love it
I had a 320i e46 touring many many years ago and I loved it. We bought it to cart the kids around in and it was great for that plus quite good fun when I was heading out on my own. We traded it in for a vw touareg due to moving into a new house which was on the side of a mountain. The Touareg was one of the worst cars I’ve ever owned. We only had it 3 weeks before handing it back to the dealership but unfortunately they’d already sent my e46 to auction so I never saw it again. I’d love another one but this time it would be a 330d auto touring. It’s crazy to see how much they’ve come down in price 😮
@@joshmerrick4716 sad that you never got the E46 back :( they've come down a lot, but are slowly on the rise again! Probably have a lot more luck finding the auto over a manual atleast 👍
If this doesnt work and you still want the light off just unplug it from behind the cluster
Solves the light issue, but currently in the UK the light needs to illuminate and then go off with the ignition as part as the yearly inspection 👍 you could always wire up a timed relay to achieve that I guess 😆
I don't believe you fixed it, where is the proof!
It's fixed I swear!
That was useful information, thank you
I'm considering selling my diesel punto to get a e30 or e34 tbh. Feeling kinda done with driving the same boring for long which also seem to have brought a lot of bad luck
I love my e46 Msport touring especially now with so many new BMWs around with big power…they may be fast the new ones but…oh my…they are are fookin ugly 😉
Ofcourse...
They’re getting a little dear in the U.S., but I think an e30 is the best personal commuter car ever built. Mine has 15”, Type 5 euroweaves with rock hard low(er) profile tires & Bilstein Sports all around - it’s noticeably more harsh than it was on 14” bottlecaps, but it’s better than what you’re driving. Way better. Your critique of the car’s handling characteristics is funny. Seriously - fix your car. Get the not-BMW crap off of it & return it to more or less stock. Mine is basically a 325iS, & aside from the Bilsteins everything on the car has an e30 specific, BMW part number. It’s what BMW meant for it to be. I could pull a wheel off the car, stick it in the trunk, & it’d still handle better than pretty much anything out there without busting my kidneys along the way. I say it’s the _perfect_ daily - nothing else out there has the dna of the 2002tii & the e21 wrapped up in an attractive, comfortable & functionally refined version of both.
It handles funny because the rear subframe and trailing arms bushes were shot to pieces I think, I'll find out when I eventually get to drive it again once it's back on the road 😂
Underside of that thing reminds me a bit of digging up ww2 stuff.
But does the car now work?
Yes! Until the next thing...
E30!
Did you notice a difference in ride quality compared to factory bushings because most people i know say that its really hard after replacing with poly bushings
Compared to old worn OEM rubber it is stiffer unable to compared to brand new OEM bushes as I haven't driven one of those. Feel very stiff on rough UK roads, but very nice on newly surfaced roads. Not that helpful I know 😂
where abouts in the uk are you located? underside looks rusty
South coast, worst underside I've seen tbh far worse than my e30! Wouldn't surprise me if someone once used it to drop a jet ski into the sea at some point
Are you a qualified mechanic bro?
I was an aprentice for a year in a Land Rover garrage when I was 17, but since then changed careers to a software engineer. Most of what I know is self taught
Great video mate very well detailed
It's a beautiful car. I would love to own one
How do you remove the whole trailing arm?
Remove brakes/wiring, front bushing mount, both top and bottom ball joint bolts and the driveshaft I think but never had the whole thing off
My local garage wanted a small fortune to do same thing! I’ve done without…
Not that bad of a job to do yourself if you've got small hands 😆 about £15 it cost me for the part
How much did they want to charge you 😂 maybe it was worth the hassle depending on the price because this really tired me out
It's not to bad if you've got small hands, I do not 😆
Watch out rear axle corrosion. Sub frame bushes eventually deteriorate can sag on driver side at rear
Once these cars are 25 years old, you can legally import one in the US.
I wonder if they'll be worth anything to them 😆 might see a bump in value but most of the ones from the UK will be rusty sadly!
Danke dir Bro. Alle anderen Videos habe ich nicht verstanden. Deiner ist das beste zum nachmachen.
Hast du es ausprobiert ? Habe Angst das der Airbag auslöst deswegen . Hab einen civic Ma9 bei dem auch die Lampe immer leuchtet..
@@invisbusted4710 Ja es klappt. Brauchst keine Angst haben. Habe es schon mehrmals gemacht. Nur bei diesem Video ist es gut erklärt.
@@cubukluugur6777 es gibt ja einen Hauptstecker zum auslesen auf der Beifahrerseite . Der ist das aber nicht oder? Also man muss schon da ans Lenkrad gehen . Hab echt voll schiss das dabei was passiert 😂🤐
@@invisbusted4710 Ich mache das 12 Jahren so. Es ist nie was passiert!
Should do the break pipes and splice in new union ends while your there. Cheap fix.
Brilliant action... I hv experienced the fuel splashing onto my face and into my eyes. Damn... it was hell!!
Don't know how the car is doing todays, but man dont worry, that isnt a lost cause at all. those are quite easily fixed areas and wont be too hard to do if you can hold a grinder and a welder. One area at a time and the best is to grind and cut all contaminated bits off and patch them with new sheet metal. a lot of areas are saveable just by grinding, acid paint and seal, no need to weld. Best i can say is, do one area at a time, dont even think about the other spots before you have finished the area you are working on or it can get overwhelming
Appreciate the comment, the car is still sat on axle stands, bought an e46 which required work, working 5 days a week and British weather getting in the way 😂 hopefully this year it'll be back on the ground!
Consolidate, sell the Civic, get the E30 done and use it as your fun car that could potentially take you on a track day or two. If you want something more comfortable to daily maybe swap the E46 for an X5, although E39 sounds great too. 😁
hopefully getting a garage later this year, so that makes the E30 much easier to sort out! X5 did cross my mind, and it'd make a good tow car, but I'm not sure I want the repair side of things! a nice clean E39 would do me nicely
I like the Civic but I can tell you’ve never really been that keen on it so I reckon get it sold and try something else. E46 should stay, and you should do some kind of engine swap on the E30, perhaps with, I don’t know, an inline 6 you might have laying around in a mate’s garage 😂
I don't know, that engine swap sure does sound like a lot of work 😂😂 and nobody really wants to weld the E30 arches back on! When are we sorting the S14 exhaust? Please say when it's warmer 🙄
@@Keats.Garage oh hell yeah we’re waiting for warmer weather my ass crack would freeze to the floor if we tried it now 😂
I'd love to see more videos on the E30, finally bought one myself, a 318i too!
Very nice! Definitely great cars even in the lower powered variants :)
I’ve bought the cheapest 330d e93 at £3300 done 118k milage
Hello mate, my ac doesn’t work at all. Is the solution the safe by changing the resistor ?
The resistor won't change this at all, it only changes the fan speed. Yours is probably something else If your fan only works on max and nothing before that the resistor is dead.
Thx, was having the same issue
Did you manage to make it louder ? Replaced my headunit but the sound is not as loud as with the oem one. Seems like the amp is not working properly, any idea why ?
Hey, this is a problem when replacing the BMW units with aftermarket setups. The original units provide a balanced audio output, which is about 7Db louder then stock headunit amps, which is why you have this effect of it getting quieter. I "solved" this by upping the EQ on my headunit to be maxed out which has made it bearable but it really isn't the best, my next step is a custom amp setup using BMW's oem wiring, still working out some kinks with it
I just bought the cheapest e46 330d manual wagon in the UK at £1750, I will have to make some videos on it, it’s a 2004 with 275k miles on it and one owner. But the best of the best m57 after fixing some bits and deleting egr I cannot wait to get it tuned, 300hp with just a tune is madness!
Thanks for the help , i can reset my own ❤
Do i plug the yellow cable back in after reset?
Not all heros wear capes, some use paperclips to get me through my MOT ;) cheers lad
I did this on my 330d five or six years ago now and replaced the original bushings with the same Powerflex ones you've fitted. I don't think I noticed any difference in ride quality, but cornering at higher speeds felt a bit more stable. I think I replaced mine at about 150k miles, the car is now on 207k miles and I haven't had any issues with them. Count yourself lucky as it looks like your brake lines have been replaced. I did those on mine this year and even though I cheated by not routing the new line over the fuel tank as per factory it isn't a job I want to repeat in a hurry - especially on the driveway. My suggestion would be to clean up the rusty bits on the underside, especially around the RTAB pockets, battery tray, jacking points and boot floor. That is if you plan on keeping the car for a while. It is a job I did at the same time as replacing the brake lines. I will have owned mine for ten years in January. It isn't worth much any more, but I still like driving it, even though I have an E92 335d as well.
Some good advice here thanks! I've just done the rear camber arms and ball joints, and my god it was rusty 😂 will do a rear subframe swap at some point and take care of the rust then - the car won't be sold anytime soon 👍
