Where did you buy the screen? And is it possible to buy the screen and use it just as i use the original screen i have now, without buying the MMI CarPlay?

Awesome videos! Love how you do upgrades and show the normal person how these things can be done. I really want to upgrade my sound later down the road. I have a e90 bmw and learned a lot from your channel. Good job 👍

My MK5 Golf now has a orginal VW Screen in it that's basically on par with the basic MK7 touch screen. RCD330+, it's just great, was very cheap and quite easy to install.

Great upgrade bro. I would definitely do that too if I had an f30. It’s so worth it.

Honestly i expected you to do most of these mods and im happy that you did. Great content

WOW, guys, reallly easy-understandable and visual explanation on the steps. Great video!

Dude, when I saw the video thumbnail I was excited to see if you had found a good CarPlay upgrade for the E90! Then I remembered you sold the E90 and I got a little bit sad. I also live in Michigan and I bought my E92 just a bit earlier than when you started to post your E90 videos and I love them! I still have my car and I think about your old E90 every now and then when I’m in my car. I’ll probably hold on to mine as long as I possibly can...

Been waiting for this vid since you bought the car. Awesome dude!!!

Saw another Keys video a while back where he had to pull the glove box to mount the MMI in an f30. Nice that wasn't needed here. Pretty expensive and tedious for Carplay, but enticing to not have to disassemble the passenger-side dash. Great vid.

Tried swapping my 2013 f30 screen to a screen from a 2017 f30 but it doesn’t go on. Does it need coding before it can go on? My f30 doesn’t have navigation and the 2017 had navigation.

This is an incredible upgrade to your car looks crazy good! 👌🏻

"breites display" means wide display - for those curious

Display Variante - my favorite coding term !

Thank you for the video! This is the proof I needed that you could use the non touch 8.8 inch screen with the entry head unit, obviously coding the car to use the bigger screen.

I followed you from such a long time🙈🙈 Now you're back in the game

You've come a long way Justin, great content!

Awesome video, I used this today to replace the 6.5" screen of my 4 series for a 8.8" touch version and it was very helpful. Especially the tip to pull the unit out for some more slack on the cable was very good. I expected it wouldn't be necessary but you were absolutely right. ;-)

Does the bmw connected app or the mybmw app still work after installing mmi prime

So lucky man. Blessed

Justin regarding your thoughts about cost of the screen, I´m working as a product engineer in automotive and we are often making changes during development of car with cost saving of 1 cent because if you can save 1cent on many areas of car it could make big difference with huge amount of manufactured cars.

Hi guys, are there any special things you need to do when you upgrade from the small screen to an original X5 10,25" ? I tried it with only changing the screen but I if I choose "wide screen" when coding, the display stays black. Maybe you could help me. Greets from Germany :)

I ended up getting a OEM iDrive 6 retrofit kit from RetrofitMyBimmer.com that was Plug and Play because I didn’t want to experience the Audio Quality LOSS in the MMI. Came precoded to my vin so I kept all my cars options and it also included Carplay Fullscreen and all that jazz . It was actually almost cheaper than the MMI and New Screen from BimmerTech too. They even include the T20 and Trim Removal tool. I got to keep my OEM Status and not experience ANY audio quality loss like all the MMI’s do.
