    I know that I am years late commenting, but I’m sitting here trying to swap out a radio on a 330CI.
    The Metro dash kit requires that you pull the top vents out. We don’t do these super often, I’m glad that I had your video. I did not know about those tabs, I’d be buying the customer a replacement vent

I'm planning on upgrading n updating the interior changing the drab tan interior with a black n blue interior, swapping the motor with an S52 rebuilt n stand alone ecm for the motor n stand alone ecm for main functions for car, any tips that you could suggest I'm all ears. Thanks in advance. Matt S.

    hey,thanks for the tutorial,it was wery helpfull.
    I removed my central vents because once in a while it makes a strange sound,(a strange sound cames fron inside the central vents)so I though it's the vents inside,but to my surprise,there wasn't any vent inside :))
    do you know what can make that sound?

    • @ShopLifeTV
      @ShopLifeTV  8 лет назад

      +cristi smile Hey, most likely the noise is coming from the HVAC unit itself. It is behind the dash and is probably opening and closing or something of that sort. Try to drive around with the fan and everything turned off and see if it still makes noise.

    I just dropped a screw in the air duct of the windshield defroster... Can I even get to it? Without removing the whole dash?
    Edit: I was hoping I could access the defroster vent by removing the front vent. It doesnt work..pretty stupid idea in retrospect lol
    I ended up glueing a strong magnet to a long strip of flexible cardboard and fished out the screw with that.

    Hi, thanks for the tutorial, it's just great.
    I have a problem with the sunroof of my 330i E46 2002. For some reason it seems like there's something on the way I believe. It opens fine but when you close it it doesn't close all the way and it gets back to the open position. You need to keep trying until it finally closes.
    What could I do about it, how do I take it apart to check it out ?
    Thanks so much for your help and greetings from Costa Rica.

    • @ShopLifeTV

    I have a question, I have a bmw e 46 and it has normal gauge cluster, and i was thinking about changing it with a newer version with crome rings inside but I dont know does the milage stays on the clock or is it in the car computer so if i change the clock will the milage change or will it remain the same? and second q is i dont have multifunction steering wheel but when i took down the airbag there is one plug extra that is free so i am guesing that all i need to do is to buy airbag with functions and plug it in and cruise control, and radio controls should work, or it shouldnt? :) I apologize for bad english :)

    • @ShopLifeTV
      @ShopLifeTV  8 лет назад

      +Marko Ćulibrk You can retrofit the chrome rings on to your current cluster, look up the chrome ring add ons. Honestly I have no experience with non-function steering wheels, I would check the forums. If there is an extra plug I would guess it would be for the functions. As long as the other plugs from the multifunction wheel fit everything should work. Thanks!
