Trying to install CD Changer bracket..

[DABIMR]

So, I picked up a 6 disc changer for my E34 off of Ebay recently. For reference, the last few digits of the model number end in 468 014 as far as I can remember (will go to the car during lunch and get the full model numbers).

Anyway, I bought a bracket from the local stealership to mount it in my trunk, but of course it did not come with any instructions and it doesn't look too intuitive.

I already checked Realoem.com but the pics are no real help! Anyone have a diagram/instructions on mounting the brackets?

P.S. I'll also get the model number of the bracket for reference.. TIA..

Anyone?

Search the archives. I think there was some recent discussion

I did, nothing there helped.. I need pictures so I can see exactly how the brackets mount because the pics just don't make any sense..

Anyway the CD Changer part number is 82 11 1468 014.

The parts numbers for the brackets are:

03 BRACKET 1 09/1990 65128351811 $11.49
04 BRACKET 1 09/1990 65128351810 $17.86

The bracket comes with all the necessary screws according to RealOEM and the dealer. And according to RealOEM, these are the right part numbers for my car based on my VIN, so it should be correct, right?

What I need are close-up pics of the CD Changer mounted in someones trunk, preferably with shots of the brackets... HELP!!

Just pick a spot and screw away.

Already looked in the trunk area, I see the holes to screw in the top bracket (it's 2 pieces), but still no way to secure the changer to the bracket, pics people, pics!!

changer to the bracket, then the bracket locks onto the flange that is screwed under the rear deck and is locked in with one bolt.


Hope this is the same two piece bracket...

That sounds about right.. Where to get these machine screws? Can I just go to Home Depot or are they special "dealer-only German" screws? Any particular length? What do I ask for? Sorry for all the questions, just want to get this installed.. Thanks again..

It should have a legend, 8mm max length.

I picked some up at the hardware store, just carry in the cd changer & bracket and go to the metirc bins and find some short ones that fit.
