New head unit on older car

I ve recently changed my dashboard to a different trim than the car had before
originaly the car didnt had a screen and now the dashboard is made for a screen(pre lci) . Now the old radio wont fit so i am considerng buying a new one with the front control plate also. Will i be able to connect it and if so how?

You can retrofit headunit, It depends on which headunit you have and what you are getting.

You need to provide a lot more details such as:-

Model, year, type of head unit, new dash - from what?
New head unit/display.

Coding will be needed as HUs are usually locked to the vin (to make them less attractive to thieves)

He means he had the Business radio like I do. A traitor. Here are the dashboards: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_8578.

And what he wants now is an NBT, of course: the bigger (the screen ) the better, may be even the third party Android shit after some (price?) consideration. There are plenty of dedicated threads around (in DIY as well).

Advise!
