iDrive screen upgrade
Hey guy,
I have a 2013 F30 NBT with ‘small screen’. I see that there are 8.8” and 10.2” monitors and wanted to do an upgrade. Here’s my concerns: 1) 8.8” is the official SatNav screen hence no modification (cutting dash) needed? 2) What addition hardware do I need to buy other than the screen? iDrive control or I can still use the existing one? 3) What additional functions are for using a bigger screen other than looking nicer? 4) I have bimmer-tech smartview so I always use google map when needed. I don’t need the BMW SatNav. Last edited by g_ngan; 10-14-2016 at 03:57 AM.. |

1) No, 8.8" fits perfectly.
2) No additional HW needed. You only need to code your car, so an OBD2 cable/adapter. 3) Splitscreen is a good example. 4) Sure, same here ;-). See this thread for more info. EDIT: I see you have NBT - do you have 6.5" with nav? We have done this with 6.5" no nav 2014+ (with HU_ENTRYNAV), read through the thread - there was someone with a similar config as you have, but I'm not sure if he posted the results.

I'm not aware of any NBT (nav Professional) with small screen.
2013 can also not be Entrynav as this was introduced from 2014 on. So I rather guess you have HU Entry which can't be coded for 8,8" screen. |

As I understand it, HU_ENTRYNAV starts from 03/14 if you have the business navigation package and 07/14 if you just have the professional radio package. You must have ENTRYNAV to upgrade to the 8.8 inch screen.
