BMW E39 Replacement Radio

[JoshE]

Bit of a stab in the dark I know, but does anyone know of where I can get hold of a replacement BMW Business Radio for my dads 2001 E39, 525i SE Touring. It has the flat pin connector type, not round pin which seems quite rare. Only a few on ebay which are £180+ postage which seems a lot. I've rang around the local breakers but as its a pretty rare item I've had no luck. Wondering if anyone knows of any specialist BMW breakers?

Failing that, any recommendations on a decent 'OEM-looking' aftermarket headunit.

This is the one I'm after...

Part no: 65.12-6 903 873

Thanks, Josh

Business or professional unit? If its business then its unlikely to be amped, id just put an aftermarket unit in (especially if its a tape deck!!), if its professional then its a bit more work.

Its a Business one, trouble is it has a BMW 6-CD changer in the boot and can I get the steering wheel controls to work through an adapter on an aftermarket unit?

Becker do standard esque units.

Afraid youll lose the changer, get a stereo with ipod, aux in or usb, so much easier. Yes you can still keep the steering control functions
