Better iDrive Controller?

betty02 · 02-21-2019, 06:51 AM

Sorting my car out before it goes for sale, it's been neglected for 6 months after I reveresed into a lampost. So new rear bumper, new front splitter, getting detailed, new bulbs as ones out and a bit mroe tidying.

I have sticky buttons (from prior purchase) on the climate control, but going to upgrade this and the surround to LCI anyway and also the iDive controller.

The model I have is the same as this -

Is there any upgrade I can do without any coding to get the bigger/better looking controller or do I just have to repalce it like for like?

Thanks all

You could get one of those replacement larger knobs to go over the top?

Got one of those, bit shit realy and just pops off other day! Just as I was changing it due to sticky buttons anyway thought if I could upgrade I may as well!

I recall that the assembly with the touch controller will work as a replacement but the touch (writing) functionality won't.

Sweet, if anyone could confirm this would be grand! Just as long as it twist, pushes and selects and the buttons work I am happy! Plug and play will do me!
