Re: My E46 in the USA Installed a dashcam and hardwired it to the homelink connector in the sunroof motor area. I'm still waiting for the micro-sd card to arrive, so I can't test the video quality yet.

Re: My E46 in the USA Haven't posted here in a while, but since then, two things have happened. 1. My auxiliary fan cooling fan came on one day and wouldn't switch off even when after I parked and locked the car, so I've been driving with the aux fan disconnected. I tried replacing the aux...
