Thankyou, this worked. So now dark mode only comes on when main headlights are on. Same as yours ?

does anyone have a link to MCU version 23.1.12.117 for Andream B2? I've found the sharepoint link on here but it won't let me access sharepoint.

I have also just updated my software to B2_1.6.16_n and have managed to get BT audio working but am coming across a problem with the scroll wheel. When I'm in Android Auto using the scroll wheel, it is also applying whatever I do to the BT music input on the NBT so it is skipping and restarting songs whenever I use the scroll wheel for any other reason in the MMI box. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

For my opinion, as soon as the device is connected to bluetooth OEM it "owns" the steering wheel buttons. Does the voice button work with siri anytime during the bluetooth connection ?

You can try disable on MMI the option "use steering wheel buttons" but i think thats the opposite you want.

Bought a 13' F30 with no NAV. Read all the info on how to Add the MMI box to a F30 NBT screen. Ill Probably order an ANDREAM off there site. My question is if i was to upgrade the 6.5 screen to a OEM 8" screen same time will it require coding? If so any link to a thread to get the software to do the coding.

Need to code thr HU for the higher resolution of the 8”’screen. There are threads on that under coding. When I have access to my notes, I could post the coding as well later. It’s two or three lines only.

I think the easiest and cheapest way would be to use Bimmercode,

THank you... so that doesnt just apply to the L7 Screen then Ill have to do it with either one.. I found both screens on ebay should i go with the L7 CID HIGH screen or will the regular F30 cId touch screen work the same. Guess my ? is there really any difference. Ive seen the software in the coding thread but I like how u put EASIEST and CHEAPEST... ill have to look into a cheap bimmercode save me some headache...

I was referring to the non-touch 8 inch screen. There are separate threads on the touch screen, but I think that one comes with its own issues. If your car did not come with a touchscreen originally, the upgrade is not plug and play. But I let others chime in on that one.

Another option is to replace the 6.5 inch with a 10 inch F-15 OEM screen. I got mine for $220 on eBay three years ago. There is an entire thread on that.

OHHH ok ok. THANK YOU... got this car to put miles on and it doesnt have the carplay or nav and it looks like you got same model. Did u do the 10' screen? Im looking for that thread...
i seen some youtubes on the install of the HU it looks really easy especially since its a base model no HK radio shit.. theres all kinds of room in there. Just wanna make sure i line it all up right and do it correct from get go...Need to code it to start in eco and no auto off too so maybe the bimmercode might be less of headache over the esys Software.. waiting for that to look at it....

Do you have NBT now? Or the single-din Entry Nav no navigation HU? Because going to NBT is not trivial (CAN(1) vs CAN2, CID cable, USB plug, etc) And the FSC codes are their own separate issue (need an emulator or pay a coder).

For older cars before (I think 2016 or 2018) ESys could be used with the old Tokenmaster 2.8 Launcher for FDL coding. But as you are aware I am sure, finding the correct files and installing and setup is a pain. Unless you are going to do some FA/VO coding, ECU programming, CAFD injections, etc, I would use Bimmdercode for $35. The new launchers for Esys for FDL coding for 2018 and later cars are all around $50-100.

F15 CID 10" install in F30 (check out all the pages for various less-intesive options):

Awesome thanks for putting all that in one post for me..
ya for 35$ time is money.. Ill be getting that.. Thanks ya the 10" look a little evasive on the dash. You did a nice job on it though ill have to find time to dig through that thread. that looks great..

And from what im seeing in pics Im pretty sure im on NBT. Its basic as basic can be. straight forward menu only car settings on vehicle info display. Guess ill have to look a little more into that though..

If you are not that hung up on using the OEM menu of your current Head Unit, you can just keep your current HU, because the MMI box would pretty much replace an NBT or EVO (except for touch screen). The MMI has far more infotainment features than the NBT and even the EVO HU. And than you just need a CID.

With touch screen, some people do not like that they have to lean forward and reach over to the screen. Much easier to control it from the iDrive controller sitting back. But that's subjective.

Got it ya i dont need touchscreen. But i def want a bigger screen! Think ill get the mmi box from andream and do a screen upgrade after.. what obd2 adapter u go with on bimmercode.

I’m using this cheap generic ELM327. eBay has them for $2, but here is a little more expensive on Amazon.

For the f series I use the bm3 wifi adapter, here's my review: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2025504

It's more expensive than a generic elm327 adapter. But it's significantly faster, has encryption, sleep mode so your battery doesn't drain enabling you to leave it in permanently, and is fully flexray compatible so you'll be able to use it for tuning later on if you so choose.

So looking on bimmertech.com i think i do have CIC im going to take it apart this afternoon and confirm. That said it looks like i might have to swap the HU and the CID to go with the bigger screen.. I got the esys software from another thread i figure ill give it a try picked up an enet cable off ebay for 10$ im pretty computer savy so well see how that goes or ill just buy the bimmercode.. do i need to purchase the 49$ full version off bimmercode app?

if you got esys, you don’t need bimmercode. save your money and read up on swapping out HU as there is a lot involved but esys is all you’ll need.

Just looking at the other options if i cant wrap my head around the esys.. ok i need to confirm this afternoon after work ill pull it apart then dive into research on replacing the HU if necessary.. im guessing more coding involved?

cant use bimmercode to replace HU as you need code in vin and a bunch others programming which BC simply can’t do.

i know with nbt & newer hu, you can replace screen without needing replace the hu.
