12.3" Screen / M5 Climate Screen Retrofit
Hey all you cool cats and kittens,
I have a 2020 530e (with ID7) and I retrofitted the 12.3" Navigation Screen along with the Four zone climate screen. Both were plug and play with no additional coding. Pics are below.

I'm soo doing this when I get my 530i msport. Is it really just simple plug and play? Also is it working flawlessly? Cheers legend.

No glitches or anything. It started up and worked as it should.

Everything is scaled to the new size. I just purchased a 2021 540i and everything is identical visually.

Okay I totally need this in my 2021 M550i (the climate screen only, of course). Where did you get the parts for it? I have the digital climate buttons in my 740i and I love it. I was so bummed the M550i didn't have it. Is there a different screen for cars with heated and ventilated seats or does the screen automatically pick up that the car has both and conform the buttons to it?

I have retrofited this 12.3" Display to a G12 (Idrive 6), it is not plug&play, coding is needed. There is a setback that the nav screen and Carplay do not work in full resolution. TV function works over full screen and everything else works fine.

@B530e - I just purchased the digital climate and radio unit to switch it out in my 2021 M550i. I haven't received it yet, but here are some photos of the online listing. Do the wires in the back look right?
Also, did you watch any video or instructions on how to change this or did you try to figure it out on your own? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Did you find that you had to take out the wood trim above the module to be able to remove it or are you able to get away with just popping out the module from the bottom up without removing any of the wood trim, vents, etc.? I've read both so just want to get your take on it. Thanks!

This has to be the easiest and best upgrade anyone can do to their G30. Took me about 15 minutes total (10 of which was spent swapping the CD player portion with the non-CD player portion of my car). Bought the part from a reputable parts guy on eBay - came from Europe in just 4 days! Plug and play, no coding needed just as OP said. Before and after pics below. Thanks again OP!

They each definitely have their pros/cons. For me it was mainly aesthetics that drove me to make the change.
