sweet! wished mine was that easy when i tried for touchscreen (my hu couldnt support touchscreen even tho realoem.com said it was exchangeable)

[Cristihanu83]

That looks amazing!

[Rinkana]

Got my screen yesterday and installed it. It works perfectly . Looks so much better with the big screen

I just bought a 2018 340xi that has the terrible 6.5" display with no nav. I've put in my VIN at realoem but all it's showing for 8.8" options are touch screen, which would be nice but seems crazy expensive and I have no idea if it would even work with the head unit.

Does anyone know what 8.8" non-touch display would be compatible?

the touch screen should work with your HU as 8709339 would've came fitted at the factory for your model.

looking on ebay - i see a few selling around same price as one i paid (non-touch for my f48).

i'd go the touch screen route as it should work with your current HU just fine. Most 8.8 cids are generally around the same price.

Hi all. I've been lurking for some time and I've finally decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the 8.8" iDrive screen. I'm confident with the coding and installation but I'm really struggling to find the right screen! I cannot understand what real oem is telling me and I don't want to blow a few hundred quid on the wrong screen! The last 7 digits of my vin are K488287. Could someone help me with the screen please?

According to realoem looks like one of these would do
8" touch screen

65508709338
65508709339

Thank you! Just to be clear... If I just got an 8.8 screen, not that model and installed it... Would it work still? I only ask as I've just checked ebay and there aren't any of that model for sale.

Depends on 2 things - first, if you want it to be a touch screen and second, is there a difference in displays for RHD cars vs LHD cars

After a quick glance, I looked at 2018 320i for USA, which obviously is a LHD car, and it shows same number for 8.8 touch of 65508709339

So I think you can get any 8.8 screen, touch screen or not, for LCI and it will work

Since it appears there is no difference in RHD vs LHD for displays, I think any 8.8 screen you get for LCI model will work - pre-LCI screen won't work due to different voltage (unless you get a voltage regulator)

For my 2017 LCI 320i, I could get 65506822626 and it would work
I think the same would be for you

Also, when searching ebay, try using just last 7 of part number
If I type in search bmw display 8709339 I see many results

Hope that helps

Ahhhh you're a life saver. I've just typed in 8709339 and I've had a fair few results back! I'll stick to one of those to play it safe. Thanks again for all of your help, I really appreciate it!

I installed the 7453 display in my 2017 320i, coming from 6.5 inch non nav, and it works perfectly after coding it.

In reference to phabmasta's response below, referring to
9387453 if you want to also search ebay for that display

hope you find what you need

[Conz2912]

I've just ordered an 8709339 from eBay which I'm hoping will be with me by Monday.... If you never hear from me again it'll be because I've lost my mind trying to get it to work!

[Conz2912]

Just checked and I've not got display_size_resolution listed under 3000 hmi on bimmercode. Evidently I've got entry nav and didn't realise!


Cancel this. Found the right code.

[Finn2k1]

According to this post this entrynav2 HU works with the touch screen.

My question is: can I retrofit this HU with this touch screen (or a compatible non touch screen) to an early 2017 f20 lci model? Currently I have basic media HU with ID4. Anyone can help with the procedure?

[Conz2912]

Fitted the screen today and it works a treat! Really good thread and thanks for all of the help. Only issue now is my satnav shows my car around 600m off of the road when I'm driving.... Any ideas?!

[canberkunsal]

I've just received my 8.8 screen today and installed it right away.

Works like a charm!


I have a 2015 320i (pre LCI) - HU Entrynav and the screen that I've installed was "65509292248"

Coding is very simple with Bimmercode;

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

[maxdobe]

Is there anyone in NoVA who does a professional install of this? Needed on f36 2017.

[jabber]

I have just upgraded to a 8.8 screen on my 2017 f23 and used bimmercode to do the coding but it didn’t function correctly some things were displayed in full screen others only on the left of the screen as if in split screen mode.
After a lot of searching I found this post on the bimmerfest forum and after using the info provided all worked correctly so with thanks to user MJE60 on bimmerfest here is his post

Using Bimmercode in expert mode HU NBT
3005 display_pip_config section
Change CID_Display_res from 800x480 to 1280x480
Change CID_Display_ size from 6.5 to 8.8
Now go out and enter
3001 EXBox section and find
Display_Variante and change from schmal (German for narrow) to breites (wide)
Now go into
3006 Navigation section
Find Display_Size_Resolution and change from 800x480 to 1280x480
In brief 4 coding changes in 3 separate section of NBT HU ecu
All changes require expert mode.
Screen works after first two 3005 code changes, nav will work also but you need to change res in nav section to get full screen effect in map view and finally section 3001 Display_Variante change is needed

[suchy1220]

this is what i was looking for, thanks!!

[Brad757]

Just fitted an 8.8" screen in my F30 (2016) using part number 9387453. Blank screen on initial install; coded using bimmercode changing 2 entries, didn't need 4 code changes. Fired up with no problems and all appears to be working including navigation in full screen.

Had to release head unit though as connection length to screen had extremely little give. Was actually easier than I imagined.

[orha12]

I have this 6.5' screen on my f30. (picture in the link below)
Realoem shows that I need this screen number: 65509292248

This will fit my car?
