BMW F30 Screen Upgrade and Coding, OEM 8.8 Screen HU_EntryNav2

[@scotty221188]

Followed this tutorial step by step and worked first time. Only difference is that I was upgrading HU_EntryNav so only needed to code the following… HU_NBT > 3000 HMI > DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480 HU_NBT > 3001 EXBOX > DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display Also, the only problem I ran into is that activating FA went on and on. I realised I needed to set memory on the Esys startup to default (mine was set to high) and worked. Full credit and praise to Zee. Thanks man.

[@zeeBMW]

Thanks for the support bro 👍

[@nerdsandotherlegends652]

I don't have access to E-Sys, but I did download Bimmercode and used it to upgrade from 6.5 to 8.8 non-touch screen on my Mini Cooper Clubman F54. I changed the size resolution and the display variant to breites_display. But now 1/3 of my screen is cut off. I can't seem to get the full screen. Anyone have any suggestions?

[@isalevy4719]

Dude, you make this look so so easy! I’m tempted to do this for fun.

[@zeeBMW]

Go for it, definitely worth doing!

[@isalevy4719]

Nice one. I’ve got an ideal for you but not sure how to contact you. Been on KZbin for ages but hardly use it. My son got me back into it and said let’s have a challenge. He learned to install wipers the other day. Kept Halfords guys off!

Should’ve waited until the end 😂 I’ll see the next video! Thanks for all the help!

[@yassinemadmoune9288]

Nice video bro, is this the same step for my f20 1 series?

[@zeeBMW]

Yes it would be exactly the same 👍

[@yassinemadmoune9288]

@@zeeBMW thank you very much 👍

[@pauliuskaseta]

@zeebmw have you thought about getting the touchscreen version of the OEM 8'8 screen? I'm waiting on mine to get shipped, I have the same entrynav2 set-up.

[@zeeBMW]

Honestly, I wanted the touchscreen version but when I saw how easily the screen attracts fingerprints I decided against it. Also I don’t know why but I feel like using the scroll wheel and buttons is more natural.

[@pauliuskaseta]

@@zeeBMW I see, i have the same doubts about fingerprints and ergonomic placement of the screen for reaching it, however I see some use of it in CarPlay, i.e. address input, quicker scrolling. And it was also just 200EUR more expensive than a non-touch screen version.

[@zeeBMW]

@@pauliuskaseta yes true it is undoubtedly better for CarPlay, they haven’t integrated great functionality for that with the scroll wheel, feels like a last minute botch job… I wish they put some kind of oleophobic coating on the screen so it wouldn’t attract fingerprints, but you can’t ask for everything, that would be a BMW extra you’d have to buy 😂

Would you recommend disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery to do a screen replacement?

[@zeeBMW]

Yes I’d advise it just in case something goes wrong 👍

Hallo i have a f20 from 2019 wich the 6.5 screen wil the same screen That you have work on my car ??

[@zeeBMW]

Yes bro as long as you have the same head unit it will work. The F20 and F30 share a lot of parts…

[@incartechie]

Great install video - we fit these too!

Nice, seems like quite a demanding screen to have haha

Would you happen to have any links to those forums you mentioned? I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the right screen and part number for my car :P TIA!

Hi i have bmw 320i 2014 model with 6.5” screen i need a 8” inch screen i dont know which one to buy can u guide me through this

[@zeeBMW]

Your 320i will be pre lci so you’d need to find a 8’’ screen which has the apix 1 connector on it.

[@goncalopinto3307]

Great video! Quick question, is this nav capable of Apple car play? Only asking seen as I’ve got one

[@zeeBMW]

Yes brother it is, if you check my CarPlay video you’ll see how to do it for free!

[@charlesborboa4020]

I have a 2018 320i non navigation with the small screen, I just want to upgrade to the bigger one OEM. I’m pretty sure I just need to make sure it’s the same year. My question is do you know the coding I need to make it work with bimmer code ?

[@zeeBMW]

I’m not sure about bimmercode but if you use my video as an instruction guide you’ll be able to do it with no issues! Let me know how it goes…

[@jurAjPE]

Brother you mentioned that if you have nbt only (entry nav) you needed to do something more? All I want is to code the 8.8” screen. Used the bimmerutility (without the esys) and it does not work. If shows the screen cut off 1/3. Can you pls advise what all codes are to be edited apart the size and resolution? Thank you

[@MrWindfucker94]

u cant use this newer 8.8 inch screen, u need pre lci 8.8

How easy is it to programme the HU with the VIN through Esys? I need to change my NBT Evo unit along with ATM and was looking to do the programming myself using Esys if possible

[@zeeBMW]

Check out my second video on provisioning CarPlay to HUEntryNav2 it is very simple to change the VIN

[@tahirnawaz963]

Hey bro, When I go to Huentrynav2 and then to display variant it doesn’t show me the option for the Breites display? Do you know why this could be? I’m really needing someone’s assistance as I cannot fathom this out. Thanks

[@zeeBMW]

What version of esys are you using bro, also is it hu_entrynav2 and what is your istep version?

[@Alexiizz]

hi! i have a f20 lci 2019 with the small screen, can i use a 2014 big display from a f30? could you help me please?

[@zeeBMW]

As long as it has the same apix connect it should theoretically work, however the f20 is known to have a slightly different screen to the f30 where it doesn’t mount properly due to some fascia differences

[@0210mlody]

Hi i have f20 2016 and like to change for bigger screen I find one one eBay but I don’t know if that will be compatible with my unit?

[@zeeBMW]

You need to search your original head unit up on Google and check which apix connector it has, then look at same on the screen you want to buy, if they both match then it will work with coding…

[@0210mlody]

@@zeeBMW yes it’s the same but some people says can be a different voltage screen take

[@zeeBMW]

@@0210mlody yes that is why you have to check if it has the same apix connector, apix and apix 2 have differing voltages…

Hi. Im trying to upgrade my display to 8.8 inch. Its HU ENTRY NAV, not ENTRYNAV 2. does that effect what screen I get whether its F3X 1 or F3X 2? Its a 2017 F30 330d manufactured in June.

[@zeeBMW]

What’s the part number for the original small screen?

[@KJR-vh3rh]

@@zeeBMWthe part number is 9270383 (65509270383). Im assuming the coding changes slightly as well with the standard entrynav? Ive been looking at some screens with the part number 9292248. Someone on a bimmer forum said this was okay for entrynav.

[@zeeBMW]

Yes you can still use this program mate, however you will probably get the stretched screen issue where the screen will work but just be low res wider, you will need to replace the head unit for a entrynav variant aka NBT Evo…

[@omidlotfi5357]

Do we click on f20 for a 2018 1 series as well bro?

Yes it would be the same

[@asimk9518]

I wonder if you can help, i had just hu-entry no sat nav. Installed hu-entry nav, coded it without emulator, no gps cable in green port. Sat nav option is greyed out but controller doesn’t work , it still shows zbe2 old controller without sat nav button. I have 606 in my fa. But i don’t know what’s the number for zbe2 but it shows in SVT, i was thinking of o remove it and load , will it be code fdl or cose hu entry nav. Also i was thinking about changing vin of donor car in fa and recode entry nav, don’t know of it anyone tried this or not? I wonder what would be the repercussions? Also my car bad dab already i wonder if gos uses the same antenna? Will i have to run cable all the way from roof to head unit. I don’t know if you have carried out such experiment?

[@Jazzycute419]

If I bought the screen and the head unit from the same car used would I still have to do the software part still they are originally from the same car ?

[@zeeBMW]

You won’t need to do the coding as the head unit is already programmed to work with the bigger screen…

[@Anwarboy786]

Hi ZeeBMW, how do i find out which version code my system is - for e.g. you said yours is the HU_EntryNav2. Mine is the CiC from a 2013 F30, with no nav and no bluetooth audio.... but whats the code for that ? will help me do some more research on if i can actually upgrade and code a larger screen ?

[@zeeBMW]

I believe you have NBT non evo as it’s not the bigger screen

[@Fatih.Zeynep]

One question. Why you open the computer, you only change the display right ?

[@zeeBMW]

Yeah changed the display, bezel was already cracked so I threw it away…

[@tn1495]

When I code, I get an option of “edit ncd” rather than fdl, then click on that you get boxes but they don’t have the names of what it is ?

Your psdzdata file maybe causing this issue. Also did you open esys using the launcher? If not edit FDL will be greyed out…
