I am looking into getting an 8.8 inch screen for my F20 LCI2. It's a brand new car with the standard nav so it has HU_ENTRYNAV2.
Based on reading various threads (mostly this one) and searching around I have formed an understanding of how to perform the retrofit but I would like to clarify a few things. First let me lay out my understanding based on my LCI2 car:
Simple as that. Now I would like to clarify if the touch screen Part No. 684412604 works in this retrofit? If you option Pro Nav on an F20 LCI2 it does come with a touch screen unit, I am assuming it would be this one. So based on that I assume it would work. This retrofit seems incredibly easy and is a good saving from the £900 option price on the F20 for Pro Nav. Thank you to everyone in this thread providing information and advice, without you guys we would be stuck with our business nav screens! |

If you order your car with pro nav, it comes with a completely different (more advanced) head unit, which supports with the touch screen. |

It's my understanding you need entry_nav2 headunit. Found on the 2018+ models I think. You can check the last 6 of your vin on a vin decoder site and check what kind of unit you have. If you have entry_nav2 then you will need enhanced Bluetooth, which can be coded in, and a WiFi antenna. The WiFi antenna can be purchased online and is just plugged into the back of the headunit. Then get with Steve at codemybimmer online and he can set you up. If you have any issues reach out to him and he can help you figure out if it's possible.

I just looked at mine and I couldn't tell by the vin either. I know you can check with an esys cable and I think there is a way to check in bimmercode. I'll have to go back and look. I would just reach out to Steve. https://www.codemybimmer.ca/contact/?v=7516fd43adaa

Steve just confirm that it can be activated by FSC
I found this screen : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/BMW-F20-F21-...AAAOSwl39bVy9Z I guess it is compatible. Last edited by guigui92350; 06-22-2019 at 09:45 AM.. |

Coding is kind of a grey area, but all they can really do is deny a claim based on the modifications you have done. Like you swapping screens, not a lot they can do against that. Nothing to really harm besides dash pieces and the plug maybe.

One month into F3x ownership and this is my first mod. Didn't want to risk getting an LCI screen incase it wasn't compatible so go the pre-LCI one. Thanks to MarkoSK for the info and my man kitster for the coding.

An OEM screen shouldn't void your warranty, unless you have a really really annoying dealer. If so, you can always put the original smaller screen back and revert the coding.

I ordered the screen. Once I receive it, will proceed with the installation and Steve will code both screen and carplay at the same time.
Can't wait to see the result Can the screen be split with one part with waze and the other from another app like spotify ? |

I can split screen waze and my xm radio. Anything that's normally available to split screen on the idrive can be split screen with waze open. But to split screen two separate Apple CarPlay screens with each other that's only possible with iOS13 I think

Is anyone already tested the 8.8 TOUCH screen on entry_nav2 headunit ?
I just receive mine (non TOUCH) but I do not remember I read that the TOUCH one will not work. |
