Hi guys,

Today, my 8.8” screen from eBay arrived!

First, I ran into some trouble with only half of the screen showing. Apparently others have had this problem when using BimmerCode.

After using E-Sys to do the (exact same) coding, it works. It even plays nicely with my Andream CarPlay MMI.

Now that everything’s working, I’ve ordered the rest of the parts needed.

You need the bigger CID: 65509367674
And the plastic trim: 65509354400

The required coding options are:

• DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480
• DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display

@Umlautian AWESOME. Where did your order the parts?

The bigger CID: 65509367674
The plastic trim: 65509354400

Do you know if this plastic trim (65509354400) first the 2019 Cooper LCI?

Could you upload a short video of what the new infotainment system is like? Showing us what the changes are between going through the different menus, such as radio, multimedia, car information etc

You can find the part nrs on realoem.com and order them from your local dealership. That’s what I did at least.

I don’t know about the 2019 LCI, but you can type in your vin on realoem and check

It’s the same as the old one, just a bigger screen

Oh right, I didn’t know if was like the actual media xl with split screen appearance within the menus, like the image below, or if it was still the standard non split view

It is the split screen appearance like in this picture, but I rarely use the normal interface. I mainly use it for CarPlay

When I plugged it in, the screen didnot light up at all, Any idea? 😕
had to swapped back to 6.5" screen

Thank you

Did you program the headunit?

 

[Stu]

Just coded these

• DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480
• DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display

what else I need to do?

Thanks

That is correct. Sometimes it can help to code first, disconnect the negative pole on the battery, then swap the screens and reconnect the battery.

If that doesn’t work, then maybe you have bought the wrong screen? Which headunit do you have (is it with a touchscreen and can you send a picture of the menu?) and what is the part nr of the screen you bought?

 

[Stu]

Its working now with coding below 🤓 mine with satnav


3005 DISPLAY_PIP_CONFIG CID_DISPLAY_RES Display-Resolution for CID from 800x480 to 1280x480

3005 DISPLAY_PIP_CONFIG CID_DISPLAY_SIZE Display-Size for CID from 6.5 to 8.8

3001 EXBOX DISPLAY_VARIANTE Display_Variante schmal to breites

3006 NAVIGATION DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION change from 800x480 to 1280x480

Is using e-sys difficult?? I want to upgrade my display to 8.8 but not sure whether to upgrade if I have to program it using e-sys. Does BimmerCode work for some vehicles or does it have to be done by e-sys

Bimmercode works with my car(LCI)

You definitely have to use e-sys, And it is an extremely complicated ginormous program, you have to buy an ethernet to OBD2 cord, and it is easy to mess things up…

Received my 8.8 inch screen this morning, got it installed and coded using bimmercode!! Took 10 minutes to install and code !! Even works well with my road top CarPlay box !!
My car has the latest software update and I have the latest version of bimmercode so maybe this is why bimmercode worked for me hope this helps anyone else thinking to swap their display
