Can I upgrade from 6.5 to 8.8 inch screen
Hi all, I've searched the forum but can't find anything specific. When looking online I'm getting conflicting information. I believe I have CIC set up ( vin decoder information is below ) but online it says CIC should have a cd button where my media button is and I've also read that CIC video cable has 4 pins, mine had 6? Looking at my screen it says BMW L7 mid, there is also a BMW L7 high screen available which is larger, part number 9292248. Question is can I upgrade to this larger screen. I have attached photos below of my current idrive system. The controller originally had the small round dial on it, it is only a large one now as I have stuck it over the top of the small one.

What’s the build date, CIC in the F30 was only up to 11/2012, after that should be NBT. Most likely to be NBT…..

On vin decoder my production date is showing as 20.06.2013.
My display has the red outline around the selection which points towards CIC... so confused! |

For those with LCI cars and the ENTRYNAV HU, I fitted an 8.8" screen today to my 2016 330d.
It was a lot easier than I was expecting! https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...postcount=1135 I fitted the screen in preparation for a Carplay MMI box. No one wants the 6 inch life with Carplay. |

All the split screen stuff works as it should and it seems to boot up faster as well, and faster response to the Idrive knob commands, which I didn't expect. I didn't know the screen had that kind of influence over the HU. Well worth doing as the small screen just looks rubbish with the massive borders. A waste of real estate |

You need an APIX2 screen for that car, a screen from a 2015 model is not correct.

I fitted a 9339 successfully to a 2019 touring on the previous car
Coded the following 3005 DISPLAY_PIP_CONFIG > CID_DISPLAY_RES = 1280_480 3005 DISPLAY_PIP_CONFIG > CID_DISPLAY_SIZE = 8_8 3001 DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display 3006 NAVIGATION > DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480 3005 DISPLAY_PIP_CONFIG > CID_TOUCH = aktiv 300B TOUCH_COMMAND > CID_HMI_TOUCH = aktiv Worked perfectly for mine |

Late 2016 early 2017 was a funny period for idrive as BMW did a hybrid thingy with the Magnetti Marelli NBT HU which was EntryNAV spec instead of Evo. I'm not sure if Bimmercode can do APIX touch screen coding, but you can certainly try it. If not, folk can remote code it for you, such as Wibbles on here. |
