Bmw screen coding problem. Cic
Hey. I have upgradred my orignal 6.5 inch screen to 8.8 inch, with CarPlay. When im in the original menu, it still thinks is a 6.5 screen, so i get Blackbar / halfscreen. How do i code it away?

Have you checked that the 8.8" screen was an option?
Enter the last 7 digits of your vin into realoem.com/bmw and then find the head unit and display types. If there is no 8.8" option it might not be possible. For Bimmercode you have to select Expert mode - there maybe an upgrade cost and then see this post: https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/s...#post-13709837 Look for the 3000 HMI HU lines and if it is possible these will be present: DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION 8.8" DISPLAY_VARIANTE Brietes (widescreen) If they are not, it won't be possible. This thread for an i3 is helpful. https://electric.guide/electric-cars...tp-id-7d4b8933 I tried to upgrade my 2014 116i with BMW Professional Radio but couldn't do it - there was no option so I bought a 10.25" Android unit from Aliexpress. This works okay for the cost (£188) but the 4G doesn't work in Europe (no LTE support) so I have to use my phone as a hot spot. It keeps the original 6.6" Idrive display and you can switch between this and the Android screen by touching it or pressing the home button. |

I don't think it will be possible, like with my 116i. (which had a Champ 2 head unit which is similar to a CIC.)
Realoem doesn't show the 8.8" as an option for your car. I've concluded that you need to have a NBT head unit unless you have S606/609 in the decoded vin list. Mine had 663 so not possible and bimmercode did not show those two options either. |
