Hi guys,

Today, my 8.8” screen from eBay arrived!

73686

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.
73687

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

Just coded these

  • DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480
  • DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display
what else I need to do?

Thanks

Did you program the headunit?
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




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 (can you send a picture of the menu?) and what is the part nr of the screen you bought?

Bimmercode works with my car(LCI)

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
