Check if you can find these two variables and set them as such:

HU_ENTRYNAV > 3001 EXBOX > DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display
HU_ENTRYNAV > 3000 HMI > DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480

If yes, then it should work, but we haven't tried it on a Mini Cooper, yet :-)

Another question.

If I just replace my (defective) 6.5" display with another 6.5" display (same part no.), is that switch plug & play? Do I need coding the new screen with my vin?

Display 6.5" Radio Professional no navi
L7 CID Entry 6.5"
09/2012

Part no. 6550 9262753-02

Display has a 6pin (4+2) LVDS connection.

Thanks.

No coding required if you replace it with the same part number.

Hi.

Hi. I have an F20 LCI2 Dec/17 with idrive 6.0 and I’m wanting to upgrade to pro nav. It has an ATM module in the boot which I believe is a requirement.

How do I know

A) if I can upgrade
B) what part number screen I need
C) what parts in total are needed

Vin is V875196
Thank you.

Replacing the head unit (which is a must if you want pro nav) is more complicated than just replacing the screen - ask steve@codemybimmer for what you need.

That's an Android unit, which is widely discussed here and here. Looks nice, but this thread is about the stock head unit with a larger screen

Grayed connection

Hi Littlebear,
I am having the same problem you had with the not active connection button. You said you followed the directions carefully and got it to work. Can you tell me what you did differently the second time to get it to work? And what you got wrong the first time with the software installation. However anyone’s help is much appreciated. I even bought a second enet cable. I too got the links from Shawn. I am trying to retrofit Entrynav2

You have an ENTRYNAV2 head unit and are trying to retrofit the 8.8" screen or you are trying to retrofit the whole head unit?

Thanks for your response MarkoSK. I have Entrynav and I am retrofitting Entrynav2: I followed the thread and bought the 626 screen to go along with entrynav2. I all I need is help with the software download. I am having the same issues littlebear had- the connect button of esys is not active . So I was asking what he did differently to get it to work. I got the link from Shawn. If you can help I will be grateful. I am thinking I am not getting copying the pdzsdata aspect of the instruction right. All I need to do is VO code the head unit.

Swapping the head unit is out of scope of this thread, Littlebear just swapped the screen (while keeping his old head unit) if I remember correctly.

EDIT: Post in the coding forums or contact Shawn, he can help you out.

Do you think that the 8,8 screen will cooperate fine with the BMW Integrated Navigation system?
No, it would not work!

Quick question. Reading through I didn't see or missed if you need to code split display when moving from stock 6 inch to 8.8 inch screen.

Splitscreen will be enabled automatically, you don't need to code it. Note that it's only available when the engine is turned on.

Alight so here is the dilemma. I am having a hard time finding either the 2248 or the 7453 used on ebay without what I consider major blemishes. I can deal with a little scratch on the back of the plastic where I wouldn't see it but I know a scratch on the screen will bother me.

So, do I wait and keep looking, not finding anything at salvage either, or go with the bimmertech screen without any upgrades (i don't need screen mirroring or anything like that)?

Seems like the bimmertech is a nice option and I can code with bimmercode just like the OEM one. I will be paying $150 extra for the screen but it is brand new.

Thoughts?

You can either wait some time (they tend to pop-up and disappear on eBay quickly) or go for the BimmerTech's screen.

Note that the BimmerTech's screen will probably void the warranty on your multimedia interface and the dealer may refuse to repair it for free. If you buy an OEM screen, you can argue that it was made by BMW and therefore does not void the warranty.

All in all it depends on the dealer you have.
