Upgrade your BMW X5 E53 with a modern 9-inch touchscreen multimedia receiver whilst retaining factory steering wheel controls and maintaining a premium OEM-style dashboard appearance. Designed specifically for BMW X5 E53 models from 2000 to 2006 equipped with the factory standard audio system, this complete fitting kit provides everything required for a professional stereo installation.

Originally developed for the Pioneer SPH-PF97BT, this fitting kit is also compatible with selected 9-inch Perfect Fit stereos that utilise the same mounting platform, including the Pioneer SPH-PF97BT, Alpine INE-AX809 and Kenwood DMX80AXS.

The supplied steering wheel control interface allows compatible aftermarket stereos to retain original steering wheel audio controls whilst maintaining important vehicle integration functions. The included wiring harness provides straightforward connection to the factory audio system, while the aerial adapter maintains reliable radio reception. The vehicle-specific fascia panel creates a seamless factory-style finish around compatible 9-inch Perfect Fit stereos.

This upgrade solution enables owners to replace ageing factory audio equipment with a modern multimedia receiver whilst preserving the original appearance and functionality of the dashboard.

Fascia Adaptor

Designed specifically for BMW X5 (E53) from 2000 to 2006 without navigation and standard audio, this fascia is designed for installation of the Pioneer 9” stereo. Built as a bespoke fit for vehicles in the application list, it adapts the dashboard aperture after removing the factory stereo to accept a universally mounted 4-screw head unit. This ensures compatibility with the Pioneer 9 inch system while retaining the original OEM-style appearance of the dashboard.

Steering wheel control interface

Steering wheel control interface and adapter cable for various BMW cars to fit an aftermarket radio upgrade. The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard ISO aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable. The CANbus steering wheel control interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio.

Antenna adapter cable

Male Fakra to Male DIN antenna adapter cable. This cable adapts from a fakra antenna connection at the back of the cars original radio to a standard aftermarket DIN antenna connection to allow the fitting of an aftermarket radio upgrade. This is a passive adapter cable, not suitable for cars that need a phantom power supply to turn on the antenna amplifier.

Universal Patch Lead

Adapter lead to pair an InCarTec 49- series steering wheel control interface to the steering wheel remote input of a Pioneer aftermarket radio. This short adapter lead connects to the 12 pin micro molex connector on the 49- series interface box and to the steering wheel remote input on the back of a Pioneer radio. The steering remote input on a Pioneer radio is usually labelled "W/R" (wired remote)

Important Fascia: 

• This fascia is designed to fit only Kenwood and Pioneer Perfect Fit 9" stereos. 
• No other stereo brand is suitable.
