How does this improve the displayed information?
Hiya,
Coming to this late as I just got an 118D sport. Fantastic, simple mod which I will have to add to my list too. And well illustrated too. Makes all the difference. A query though. How does the appearance of the screens change on the larger display? Are they the 6.5 screens stretched or does the system sense the bigger screen and show different information (i.e. more split screens, more data). Anyone who has done this mod (particularly with Nav) able to upload a few screenshots of the differences? Thanks Guys. |

Your technically supposed to code the car to let it know a bigger screen was installed, but in my case I found that I didn't even need to do that as the option was already set to the larger screen. |

I had the same issue as you, I think I was getting a message that said 'no connection' or something like that. Turned out the wire wasn't connected to the screen properly. Just double check the wire and make sure its plugged all the way in, and you should be good to go. |

Does the display with the different backplate from the F30 wiggle or rattle at all after install?
F22 displays are so much more expensive online... |

No doesn't rattle or anything , I used a f30 back plate for a almost year without any problem, if it's not going to bother you having a small gap I'd go with the f30 screen

Since the gap is in the rear of the display and totally unnoticeable I feel like it's no brainer to go with the f30 display. |

Just a few updates some might find useful:
- You can code the retrofit through the BimmerCode app in expert mode. Very easy. Good option for those not comfortable with eSys. - Touch Controller basic functionalities are plug and play. However even through coding I wasn't able to make the touch functionality work. Not sure if missing something, hardware is incompatible or ID version is not the right one - Be careful with the clips under the screen. I lost one of them in the dashboard. Hard to find. |

It looks like a great article you posted and my sister would be interested in updating as you have. Unfortunately it seems that photo bucket is an issue displaying your instruction pictures, not sure if it's them or me is the problem (I am a senior citizen). Is there any chance of obtaining these pictures by reposting w/o photo bucket or a different source?

This is my screen, can anyone tell me if it will work on mine? The right product code for this would be greatly appreciated as I've found half a dozen different ones online. I'm ok with with f30 8.8 or f22 RHD 8.8

Just did this upgrade. Great improvement over the old screen. Very easy with Bimmercode and the right parts. Thanks to Anderw for working this out for the rest of us!
