Ugh so i took a shot in the dark because I saw some information about how even some of the older ID4 models on the F30 were apix 1.

My current HU is a NBT Evo ID4 (HW 2.3, B143) paired with a 9387453024 8.8 screen.
Current coding params have it as apix1, 18 color depth, spi, and 8.8"

Ordered a 9347878 , and tried coding it every which way, and had no luck. Either blank screen or "no signal"

anyone have a recent link to a retrofit adapter?

Hola a todos.

Me fastidiaba bastante el hueco trasero tras montar la pantalla. Así pues he ideado un apaño que no queda mal del todo. En foto se aprecian más los defectos, en la realidad queda bastante bien.













Todavía se puede mejorar, pero el resultado es bastante bueno. En fotos parece peor.

Greatings!

That’s actually a great idea. I’m doing a retrofit of a G30 screen at the moment and was trying to find solutions to the much bigger gap that it creates behind the screen. Didn’t think about that kind of stuff so I’ll have to see what I can find here in the UK. Gracias

Finally installed a 10.25" display. This is a great upgrade. Large enough to make a noticeable difference but not so large as to stand out. Fills the dash perfectly, IMO.

Mine was an Apix2 touchscreen from a 2018 X5, so it had the centered connector and lacked the aluminum tabs across the bottom. I did not want to alter the car any more than absolutely necessary or anything but the plastics on the screen. I found that I did not need to cut the dashboard much (maybe 1/8" on each side of the opening, still easily covered by the original 8.8" screen. I also did not need to grind or cut any of the plastic structure of the dash under the opening. Instead, I ground a relief into the plastic surround on the bottom of the screen. I meant to take pictures but all of the trimming, fit-testing, etc., would up making me impatient to finish and fire it up and I forgot.

I ultimately used a Dremel rather than a blade on the screen case itself, because I started with a blade and wasn't able to get the cuts as smooth and clean as I wanted. Going slowly and having a compressor and vacuum handy is a must.

Hat tip to @Berloss for the coding, @Chips05 for the template, @TLG for the video, @JayDaMan93 for the tips, and to everyone in the thread who has gone before me. This is a perfect example of how amazing these forums are.

A great way to spend the afternoon and well worth the result.

Next step seems to be an F80 cluster . . .

Hi guys.

Looking to upgrade the screen I'm my 2014 f31 330d but having difficulty realising which one will just work.

Will the part number 8715339 work. I think I am running id4.

Cheers.

IDK - it's the right "size" but notice that the actual screen is smaller.


I used BMW Part # 65-50-6-816-387 - screen goes edge-to-edge. Plugged right in and with a couple of small tweaks, fired right up.

First off I have to say thank you to all who contributed to this thread, very helpful indeed.
Also been a wile since I have been on here after selling my E90 LCI 4 years ago.

So, installed an F15 10.25” Display in my F36 this week, as others have said its a fantastic upgrade and looking back at the 8.8” it looks too small now, whereas the 10.25” looks like its meant to be.

Anyway, my car is NBT Evo, ID6, so Apix2 screen, I got one off eBay, part no: 6816387

Coded it in with Esys and tested before I made any cuts, only needed to change 3 parameters in my case as my 8.8” was already touch screen.

Used a dermal to trim the plastic as I wanted a nice finish on the cuts, used CAD (cardboard aided design) before making cuts to the display itself.
Did get a bit of dust inside the screen but was easy to dismantle and blow it out.
Lastly I carefully removed the silver trim and painted gloss black to match other trim in my car.

Im more than happy with the outcome, cuts turned out pretty much perfect and very minimal gap behind the display (left the two hooks on there)

Nope, not sure where I heard the term but probably someone on YouTube (most likely one of the many vehicle fabricators I end up watching) and its stuck with me

That would allow air to pass through to cool it and also would blend in with the dash and the screen's enclosure. A good 3M double sided tape should hold it and may not melt off.
