greekcs Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 The only thing that scared me when installing my Z1 was modifying the hvac vents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Why not just get the bimmerman bezel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greekcs Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I used the bimmerman bezel. I had to cut the vents though in order to fit the radio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jconnelly256 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Unfortunately there is no way to install an Avic Z1 or Z2 without modifying the vents in one way or another. I opened up the vents and sealed them off allowing as much airflow as I could possibly get. Since those vents feed the feet/floor vents. Here in Phx, this isn't such a large issue of low airflow as it is for those in colder areas, where blowing hot air in the winter is key. I got the bezel from here: http://mybimmer.net ) Instructions can be found here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=359575 Granted that is not an Avic unit, but it is a double-din unit none the less. I followed that post as my guide when I did my install. Hope that helps the guys thinking about doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
