Can people please share where they have successfully mounted the GPS unit on the F30 NBT retrofit (preferably inside the dash and out of sight) and have properly working navigation.

No on realoem is nothing to find. You can take it completlly apart so it has to have seperate numbers. The number on realoem is for a complete set.

But i don't feel like to take it out of the car again to check, but if no one has an idea i think i will be obligated to do it

I’m inclined to agree. I think there is a point of disassembly whereby parts are no longer sold separately and come as a unit. I’ve not seen any for sale on their own ever, however this being said if you do find a part number I’d be very interested as I too want one.

I installed a G30 5-series 10.25" screen on my NBT EVO F31 this past weekend, you can see my writeup of where I am with that here.

You can make it fit without having to cut the dashboard. The screen sits further towards the edge of the dash (closer to you) than the F15 and stock screens do, which is probably better if you plan on using the touch capability.

That looks great but I want to see what kind of hood you will be making to hide the backside and make it look integrated.

Is the connector on the back of the 10.2 screen the same as the 8.8 screen or do you need to purchase the cable aswell?

Updated my log with the rear cover. Not as clean as I had imagined, but it works. If you start with a longer piece of Kydex (16" long) you can make the cover a single piece.

I have test units available for sale which I highly suggest trying the cuts out on.

I went through 3 before I felt confident enough.
