How easy installation (328i)? I am not expert in cars. Can I do by myself? Does it need drilling? Is it an easy plug and play? ANy install vids?

Hello I am also not a pro but was an easy install for me. There is drilling involved but the bit is sent with the set of lights. The hardest part was figuring where to hook up the wires to so I split the wires to one that wasn't used in the door since it was already ran through the door with the other wires then I connected that wire to the foot board light so the light would come on when the door is opened

It is easy, about 25 min installation. First you need to remove the door panel, drill a hole on the bottom part of the door with the bit that comes with the lights, screw the lights in and the run the wires to the door light wires ( need tape). Then put the panels pack on. Good luck.

Installation is a breeze. Plug it in, turn it on .. done. If your wanting to do a more concealed install using the direct connection kit that comes included with valentine one. The install difficulty depends on your vehicle, and your knowledge of take panels off the interior of your vehicle. Otherwise if your not trying to do a concealed custom install it's a no brainer installing it.

Installation is a five minute job. Here's where to find the instructions: http://stis.subaru.com/proxy/70543/pdf/070543-E361SSG000.pdf

No. You CAN install it. I did the same eager to my SI. Took me a while cuz I've never done motor work before but yes you can install it.

No, this not for people who do not have experience with car electronic systems, as you will need to instal a series of cables and take apart your front seat to run the wiring. if you want plug and play this is not for you. If you want probably the best experience you will have resembling a factory video system, this is the system for you. :)

Thank you all for the responses ... I had heard that the driver's side door actuator on E46 BMWs is the "master" and that upon replacement, the CLS has to be reprogrammed accordingly. However, based upon all of you input, it sounds like it is "plug and play" with the needed for any additional work. Thanks again to all!

Coincidentally, I own a GTI too! It's definitely better to wrap the headers prior to installing them.

Hey Kurt, it's a very plug and play unit. I have it installed in my 2002 Nissan Xterras. There is an antenna that comes with the unit as well. I ran mine behind the dash along the firewall and mounted on top of the dash. It's just a 1x1 square, the antenna that is. Only thing I will say to do once you have it installed is to head over the the JVC website and download the most recent update to a thumb drive or SD card. It's takes, maybe, two minutes at the most for the update to take place on the head unit. It really is an awesome head unit! Best of luck hope I answered your question.

I was not able to do it myself. I am a 31 yr old female with no knowledge of automobiles. I had a friend help who had basic knowledge and between that and the instructions was able to do so with ease.

Make sure you give them the vin# to get the correct parts. I ordered the same parts for my son's 1999 BMW 328i and it says it will fit. But they were wrong parts. As many BMW 's will fit this parts but not mine. So vin # is crucial.

It worked perfect on my 2008 328i. Gas mileage was greatly affected. However, we took all of our stuff and had room for vacation shopping.

very easy to install - less than an hour depending on how easy it is to thread the wires down the back of your seats. you wont fail if you have any aptitude for this type of stuff. if you do, i am sure the best buy installers could knock it out in an hour or two.

I installed mine a long time ago, so I have forgotten exactly how it was done. Butbi do remember that it was super easy to install. Read the entire installation instructions and you not have a problem. Read it from start to finish.

I found some terrific how to videos on You Tube. I installed on a 2006 Avalon, and it was very easy to do.

It was probably the easiest repair I've ever made. I did it while my husband was at work and it took 5 minutes. Watch this video first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjAft9Bn66s and save yourself lots of money from having a shop install it!

Thanks for your question! BMW's Snap-In Adapters are very user-friendly and do not require dealer installation. They simply snap into the cradle that should already be in your BMW. I would welcome you to visit your local BMW dealership where they would be happy to assist you with putting it in or showing you all of the features and benefits of this accessory. Hopefully this helps!
