This kit is for the installation in the trunk only. If you want to install behind the stereo and your BMW does not have Navigation -
please order BMW adapter with dash mounting cable.
If your stereo has DSP (digital sound processing, usually written on the front of your stereo) you will also need GROM DSP conversion kit

These vehicles above do not require GROM DSP adapter (use analog DSP) and can be installed at stereo or trunk,
but audio part will not work until the stereo is programmed (retrofited) to accept CD Changer (bmw calls it “vehicle order”).
Please contact your local BMW dealer and ask them to retrofit the stereo to accept CD changer.
If your car falls into the above range and has Navigation, CD changer or iPod connection, GROM will work without any reprogramming.
**For BMW with SiriusXM satellite radio, the XM radio need to be disconnected in order for GROM to work.
