@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?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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?

 

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)

 

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

 

That looks awesome congratulations, how much did it run you?

 

Thank you, about £300 which is not bad

 

Not bad at all

 

I'm not 100% sure on this, but might be how you hooked it up.

if you ran the CANbus wires down to the controller I "think" it works, if you used the loop back connection (no wires to the controller) then I think it doesn't.
I need to test this on a friends car.

 

I just purchased mine off eBay, if you have the LCI touchscreen version you will need a touchscreen 8.8 screen, a non touch won’t work if you have an LCI with existing touchscreen. Not sure if they do other brand screen for minis, if they did I wouldn’t trust them if I’m honest

 

@Dragos
hi, I saw your replies and that you can programme carplay into the infotainment. I have a f56 cooper s 2015 VIN: WMWXP7C52F2A35811
i feel like i probably have the entrynav unit, but im not sure. i would love to have carplay if it would be possible.
please let me know if it's possible for my car or if i have to get one of those boxes. or maybe if there would be any other options if im not eligible.

thanks in advance

Only Chinese MMI or headunit swap.

 

Hi, I am impressed with your knowledge! I have a Mini Cooper 2014/8 with a regular radio without a screen, now I want to change it to 6.5 "and a reversing camera and I have parts with numbers:


screen: 8803370

unit: 9441851

idrive:769402

reversing camera:9472923


Will these components work together?


I have changed the wiring.


Will I have to code with the change of zeitkriterium via esys?


I don't have much knowledge, so any help will be worth its weight in gold and I thank you in advance for it,


Christopher

 

help, I'm trying to do the 6.5 to 8.8 screen upgrade, I have changed the following below

• DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480
• DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display

ESYS, no output what so ever
Bimmercode two thirds of the screen

Dec 17 car has entrynav HU with 6.5 screen

8.8 screen sourced from my May 17 car, neither screens are touchscreens

Any ideas please

 

I have a visual boost unit, fitted the 8.8 inch screen. I know there is a port for GPS attached to the main unit, is there anyway I can code in the maps or have it coded in if I get a GPS dongle or is it not possible ?
I have attached the photo of the GPS adapter

 

I have circled the location to the GPS Antenna location, the other blue next green connector I believe goes to the arm rest electrics
Sorry can’t help any more than that
