Black panel display

Hi,

I have 2013 BMW F20 116i. I have and old instrument cluster. I need to upgrade to the black panel display where i can see the GPS direction get more info about efficient dynamics. Does anyone know is to possible to upgrade ?
If any other alternatives please let me know.

Also, is it possible to get GPS co-ordinates , speed limit in the black panel display.

Hi,

Once you insist , here you are: http://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1221330 .

Notice that you might need your persistence to succeed (not to distract, just to warn): http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=877160 .

A proof of possibility (for the 3 Series though):

To skip the upgrade (or what do you mean - standalone devices?).

Not coordinates, perhaps (what use would they be of?) but speed limit looks possible (from the current configurator, but I recall it has been there before as well ):

.

It's just whether you'll have it actually available due to your car's hardware/software...

Yes, it can be done but it is dificult

First of all you should have NBT with navigation support.

You need the extended cluster which should be coded for your vin and should be with less kilometers than your cars, or even better with zero klm. (it also should support cruise control)
I have found after a lot of research an ebay seller who had the right cluster for my car and could code it to my vin.

Then you will need a Most optic fabric which connects cluster to NBT (it can't work without it) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2623064816...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Then you have to code it. I could not do it myself so I found a codder to help me with teamviewer..

Like I said, it is difficult, you have to study a lot, you have to find the right parts for your car but it can be done

* for speed limits you need an extra camera if the car does not have and an emulator..
