Hi guys

I *think* replacing the 6.5 with the 8.8 screen should be possible with some coding.

Regarding BT/Tel module, you don't have to fork out £600 for it, if you're prepared to spend a weekend DIYing it.
Bimmertech has the Combox retrofit kit for 600$ - they'll do the coding remote for it once it's installed (included in the price).

So they'll probably be able to do coding of the screen as well - and tell you for sure whether a replacement is possible.


My f25 was similar to yours - i did a retrofit of rear view cam, Smartview and combox 2 years ago. I won't lie - it wasn't just a walk in the park, but absolutely doable. Took 2 days and and Bimmertech support was excellent.

I know it sounds like I'm shamelessly promoting them, but do a search for them in the forum - they've helped a lot of members with retrofitting.

If you manage to progress with the screen replacement please do share - I'd be interested in doing it as well.
