Vaico are highly rated -
For those that may want to ditch the older CCC systems, and fit a double din unit in its place, there is this solution now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Facia-Car-Stereo-Radio-Adaptor-Wiring-Fitting-Kit-for-BMW/184069980773?fits=Car+Make%3ABMW&hash=item2adb6d0265:g:udgAAOSwGsheO1Vt You do lose your screen and idrive controller, and no idea about the rest of the display infographics!

I replaced mine with a pair of Bosch Aerotwins and never had the problems as described above ...
