MMI or Android Screen Advice

I have read the tens of pages on the global thread relating to the Android screens and the more recent UK thread with some interest.

I have 2013 F31 with Nav which has the appearance of CIC but having taken this apart this morning it seems to have a 6 pin LVDS. It has the 6.5” screen.

Im a noob to this so be gentle. I think this is an NBT?

Anyhow, I’d really like to replace with a larger screen so was looking at an 8.8” Android screen, I will be using it solely with Apple Airplay, never Android phones.

Issue seems to be where I may be able to source one of these in the UK without paying a huge tax levy as a result of importing from EU.

I would be happy with a recommended MMI box if I could change the screen. Guess it comes down to two *wants*

1. Larger screen
2. Airplay

Some easy advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

It will probably be NBT 4. That is what mine has on a 2013/3 335i. The menu system should look different to CiC though. If it is NBT 4 you can have that on a 8.8" screen as mine is on that. I think you can even use an early F15 10" screen but it must be apix1 not 2 as the voltages are different and not cross compatable. The 10" surround needs modding to suit the F30/F31 dash aswell by the way.

I’m in the same boat as you.
