I made a short video showing the upgraded stereo and how it sounds. I am impressed by the improvement of sound quality the new Avin 4 head unit brings.

I now need to finish my rear sub refresh project so I can install my Rockford Fosgate subs and finish my 2022 stereo refresh project for my ZHP :cool
Having gone from my Business CD Radio to my new Avin 4 head unit, the I-Bus app was alreay installed so I purchased the license for my car to take advantage of the full software. The one thing I like is it displays everything in one easy to read location.

There are those who will say the info is already there but some of it isn't. I like how the info is formatted so you can easily scan for the info rather than using the stalk to go thru selections. Having ready access on one display is a much faster way to get all your info in my opinion[emoji4] Only exception is oil temp but I have an actual gauge on my instrument cluster that shows oil temp ;)
I also like that you can look at your display before turning the key to take out and easily see if any window is not fully closed . . .

If your window isn't fully closed, on the display (above) that window will be red so this is another quick check to make sure your window is fully seated. I don't always use my switches to make sure my windows are fully closed so this is a good check [emoji1417]

I ordered this microphone to install into my new Avin so I can restore my hands free bluetooth phone feature. The built in microphone was not working out good enough so I'm adding this to clean things up some . . .
The new microphone will mount in the same spot my factory microphone mounts.

First time I hear the soft close doors are available for the e46 platform. That will be a cool mod. :thumbsup
It came in :)

New external microphone for my Avin 4 head unit came in so I installed it and tested the connection. Everything working perfectly[emoji4]
All I have left in this install is TPMS (using internal sensors for my BBS CH wheels), rear camera and rear subwoofer refresh then I will be finished with my stereo refresh project[emoji41]

Going to be doing a full cooling system refresh using OEM and OEM+ parts once I source a few more things . . .

Everything in my "refreshed" cooling system will be sourced from FCP Euro for their lifetime warranty. After this maintenance my ZHP should be good to go.
Also sourced new upper and lower intake boots and currently installing my G.A.S. CCV Replacement kit and planning to refresh all my vacuum lines. By the time I am finished with my current maintenance, I can then focus on other systems such as power steering, steering wheel GUIBO, transmission and diff oil flush, GUIBO center line bearing maintenance, new FCAB/RTABs, Bilstein PSS-10 coilovers and Autosolutions SSK install. I still have a lot planned for this car :cool
