Plug and play head unit?

xrelyt · 12-25-2022, 09:14 PM

I have a 13 320i with a 6.6 NBT screen, I just put in the road top CarPlay box so I can install a backup cam and it just looks better plus navigation. I was just wondering if the screens were plug and play, so could I take the 6.6 out and put in a 8.8 screen without any other wires. I can code it if needed.

yes - you just have to set the dip switch to let it know you got a bigger screen installed then just code in the 8.8 screen with bimmercode or esys
