Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

FAQ
BMW 3 Series car radio: questions people ask.
Answers for 3 Series owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppWill the Harman Kardon system keep working with an Android screen in an F30?
Yes. Amplified F30 cars carry the sound on a fibre-optic loop, and the unit is fitted with the optical adapter that keeps the factory amplifier and every speaker in play. The iDrive knob and steering-wheel buttons stay connected as well.
How much does car radio cost on a BMW 3 Series?
It depends on the generation. E90 / E91 / E92 / E93 (2005–2013): from €290; F30 / F31 / F34 (2012–2019): from €290. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which BMW 3 Series years can have car radio?
E90 / E91 / E92 / E93, built 2005–2013 (Business CD radio without a screen, or Professional navigation with CCC iDrive to 2008 and CIC iDrive on LCI cars from late 2008): 10.25-inch Android screen in the factory position, iDrive controller kept on Professional cars, DAB and camera input included. F30 / F31 / F34, built 2012–2019 (6.5-inch Business screen or 8.8-inch Professional: CIC on 2012 cars, NBT from 2013, NBT Evo (ID5/ID6) from 2017): 10.25-inch Android screen replaces the factory display; iDrive knob, steering buttons and the Harman Kardon amplifier kept.
How long does car radio take on a BMW 3 Series?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the BMW 3 Series E90 and F30. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit car radio on a BMW 3 Series?
On every 3 Series we work on — E90 and F30 — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.
Do I need to book car radio for my BMW 3 Series, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (E90 and F30) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
