You've retrofitted a iDrive7 system on a iD6 car and working it with iD6? Or did you completely converted iD6 into iD7 by replacing HU_NBT with MGU unit???

I understand your work but I've asked mrgicm what he did actually

I may be getting out of my M550i lease so I'm selling my touch screen climate unit (link below):

Can you please share codings needed ? And maybe I-Level from your EVO.
Thank you!

Hello,

also i have an id6. What about a split screen? Perhaps the navigation system looks better optically. Can you please post a picture with TV and navi / splitscreen.

Is it now possible to retrofit an id7 because the ethernet cable is missing in most cars. Is there a simulation.

Thanks in advance

There are resolution settings in ID6 navi, that can be coded. Were you able to fix this map issue?

BMWisFRIEND · 04-14-2022, 01:53 AM

The climate control piece looks great. Where can I buy one of these from? I don't see very many used ones on Ebay - is buying new an option?

B530e · 05-06-2022, 01:37 AM

My lease is almost over and i'm turning my car in. I'm willing to trade the 12.3" screen for someone's 10.25" screen. I live in California and will meet up and install the screen. I'm also getting rid of the bavsound for HK systems Stage One Speakers and 8ohm under seat subs. PM me if interested.

mrgicm · 05-06-2022, 09:14 AM

One of the more bugs I noticed on some cars regardless of the Istep:

- startup animation is not displaying almost never
- if you start the car and immeadetly turn on surround view sometimes the cameras picture is all croocked
- car animation when you press sport/comfort also sometimes shows blurred animation.
