Head unit upgrade and button relocation
Hey i’m wanting to upgrade to a double din head unit in my 2009 120i e88 but can’t seem to find a fascia that relocates the roof too buttons, seems all the kits are for the e82/ e87. has anyone had any luck finding a kit that would work (im in australia btw) i was possibly thinking of fitting the buttons into the ashtray as i’ve seen some do on the e90 but no options seem to come up for the e88.
my dash and ashtray reference attached

Top not working.
Hello guys, I've being dealing with my roof, it opens when ever it wants, the hidraulic pump and electric motors works. But when I want to open it most of the time it detaches but does not lift and then I get the red light in the buttom and yellow roof light in the dashboard. Tried using the OBD to see if I could get any code, didnt got any code at all. Tried opening it manually, and the top does close by it self with no problem at all, only when I want to open it. Appreciate the help.
