RD's R36 - The newest Additio

[racedirector]

Hi All

Been lurking for a while doing research on R36's and I finally bought one.

2010 10.5 Blue R36 Wagon, 1 owner, 65,000K's .... and I am loving it. So much of a step up from my 2000 AU1.5 XR8. My wife has a 2017 206 TSi R-Line wagon in Harvard Blue so these make a great pair.



Mine didn't come with too many extras, Sat Nav, tinting, roof racks, towbar, and a 600W Dynaudio system. No Bluetooth, no Reverse Camera and no auto tailgate. The tailgate I can live without (until I get up the gonads to try and install one), but Bluetooth is a must.

To scratch that itch I bought a 9W7 system along with plug-and-play wiring and foam mount. I have looked at the post on here about installing it but my car seems to be different from the thread in question. Either that or I have no idea what I supposed to be doing.





My interior light has a microphone position and tonight I figured out how to make that area drop down, revealing 2 bolts and a little blank where my mic will go. I assume these are the two bolts that hold the interior light in or is there more than 2?





The foam mount, which seat does it go under? My passenger seat has the audio system amp under it, the drivers seat has a space but the foam mount seems to just sit in the gap rather than push into anything. Oh, and while I was under the drivers seat I found a black box with plugs in it, nothing plugged into it though?



Anyone know what this is?

Anyhoo, if anyone has any pointers on installing a 9W7 system into a 2010 10.5 it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Bruce
