In Reply to: 2 Stupid Questions: Where to get a key & CD plyr? posted by CLGersh on March 12, 2000 at 12:10:45:
: It's Sunday so I cannot call the dealer, but figured I'd pose the question here:
: I am buying a 95 540i. I take delivery tomorrow (Monday) I am very excited, but already know that it requires two things to make it perfect.
: 1) It currently does not have a CD player at all. According to one of the sites I was checking, all 540s are prewired for a changer. Is this true? Which changers should/can I buy? I really don't need anything too fancy, it's just that I haven't purchased a cassette tape since 93! Any advice is appreciated. My main goal is to get an economical player that will install seamlessly (i.e. No remotes, etc)
: 2) Ok, this is really lame, but the car is perfect, no dings, scratches, etc...but the key is gross. It looks like the previous owner kept it in his pocket with mashed bananas and rocks! The feature buttons on the key work, but I'd like a new, clean key for my "new" car. Am I correct in assuming that my local BMW dealer can order me a new key? Am I going to be floored with the cost?
: Anyway, I look forward to participating in this forum.
Hey, congratulations, I have a 1995 540, too, and I love it. I priced a BMW CD changer from the dealer and it was about $800 installed, so I opted for an Alpine, installed, for $400. Same quality, but you won't be able to use the button on your in-dash, factory installed stereo/radio. That was not a big deal to me, but it will entail a remote. Not a big deal for me for the savings, but it may be for you, I don't know...also, they will not be able to use the prewired harness for the Alpine, but, again, is that all worth another $400?
Didn't they give you two keys for your car?
