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.
