Headunit Removal - Metal frame and rivets?
Tried to retrofit wi-fi antenna to headunit for apple car play
Followed standard bimmer tech DIY on Youtube but was surprised BMW added a new metal frame with rivets Anyone any idea what rivets these are, part number? I assume they are for vibration but they're neither listed on realoem and not present on any of the cars that show the install Car is a 2018 LCI, picture for reference

The metal brace is cut and fits too perfectly to be aftermarket This looks very OEM to me although no diagram of its existence is around

I'm the second owner, original owner left the car bone stock I also can't find the actual bracket anywhere and I sincerely doubt it was a one piece fabrication Any ideas why this was installed? My only assumption is that someone might have broken one of the original mounts and was forced to fix it I'm also having a hard time understanding what it originally is supposed to mount to. As per Realoem, looks like the mounting brackets are part of the one-piece entire dash and not separate

Drilled the rivets out, pretty smart mechanism Now CarPlay works amazing! On Bluetooth even when right below the head unit it was unusable Picture of the anti theft piece if anyone was wondering [img]https://i.ibb.co/4NLkfLL/606-C8786-5...EDCAEF63-B.jpg[/img]
