BMW E46 HVAC Relocation Bracket for Double DIN

This HVAC relocation bracket secures the climate control module within the center console of BMW E46 vehicles.

Description

When upgrading to a Double DIN multimedia unit in a BMW E46, the climate control module must be relocated to the lower slot in the center console. This bracket eliminates the need to purchase an expensive factory relocation console.

Without a proper mount, the AC control unit fits loosely and can dislodge during acceleration. The bracket ensures the HVAC module remains firmly seated while maintaining a factory-style appearance.

Features

• Manufactured from heat and UV-resistant ABS plastic.
• Resists deformation over time under interior cabin temperatures.
• Eliminates the need for a complete OEM center console replacement.
• Secures the HVAC module during hard acceleration.
• Provides two distinct installation mounting methods.

Benefits

• Saves the cost of buying a full factory relocation console.
• Prevents the climate control module from falling out while driving.
• Maintains a clean interior aesthetic.

Compatibility

• BMW E46 3-Series (vehicles with a Double DIN radio upgrade)
• Please verify your OEM part number before purchasing.

Installation

This bracket offers two installation methods requiring only basic hand tools. Method 1 involves removing the top console screws, inserting the bracket with the triangular stops in place, routing cables, and securing the module for maximum stability. This method leaves a slight visible gap at the bottom.

Method 2 involves sliding the bracket onto the back of the HVAC module with the triangular stops pointing up, then snapping the assembly into place for a flush fit with no bottom gap.
