Hi, just looking at the discount you currently have on the alpine ilx-702E46, can you confirm does this included fitted and also the removal and refitting of the air conditioning controls,

Thanks

Answer: 
hi,

here is the information supplied by alpine about the product

the unit comes fully assembled and includes all needed installation accessories for E46s with prior OEM navigation radio (Navigation Business). If the navigation computer is located in the trunk (Navigation Professional), several radio cables need to be extended to the dashboard. This can be simply done by using Alpine�s KWE-E46EXT. If your car is equipped with an original BMW cassette tape or CD radio, a few additional components are required to move the air condition control panel. All details can be found in the installation manual. If you car is equipped with an original Harman Kardon sound system, an additional 3rd party interface adapter is required.
