In Reply to: Pioneer CD Install Help posted by Marc on February 19, 2000 at 10:10:26:

: Hi. I have a 95 840Ci with the Pioneer head unit and purchased a BMW/Pioneer 6-disk changer from a dealership via mail order. They sold me two things, the cd-changer kit, which came with the changer and a bracket and a bunch of screws (and instructions for installing in a 3-series, BTW), and another bracket kit. I have no instructions for installing in an 8-series and have tried to figure out how the brackets might assemble together and to the car, but I can't get it. The two part numbers that I received were:
: 82-11-1-467-700 (the changer and a bracket)
: 82-11-1-467-059 (the other bracket kit)
: Does anybody have any thoughts?
: Thanks

Marc,

Do you have a place on the rear passenger side of the trunk in the interior molding for the CD changer to pop through? You may need to purchase this as well if the car did not come with a CD changer.

If you remove the molding that I am describing you should see the bracket where the CD changer mounts (right in front of the battery). Holding the CD changer vertically (The way it is designed to mount in the 8 series) so the CD caddy door opens up and to the left, you will place one of the brackets that “hooks” onto the car on the left side of the changer on the back (left side from the perspective of when holding the changer with the CD caddy door open you can’t see the hole for the caddy to go in). The other mounting bracket goes on the right side and will screw into the receiving hole on the car.

When hooking up the wires prior to mounting the changer, be sure to secure them by using the clips that should be on the receiving bracket in the car. You don’t want them floating around.

The CD changer will slide into the receiving bracket from the left to the right & the screw holes will line up. There is only one screw holding the changer to the bracket (10mm box wrench on mine BTW). Tighten this screw & you are in business.

This may sound vague, but without pictures it is very difficult to describe. Good luck.
