Have smaller 6" screen anyway to upgrade to 9" screen?

[fsociety]

Is that a BMW interface module or aftermarket? Do you have a link you can post?

Aftermarket

That looks very interesting! Does this use the iDrive controller or do you have to mount a separate controller? Hopefully you will post back after your install and let us know how it went and how you like it.

I just upgraded last night. Purchased it on AliExpress, coded it with bimmercode and was done in 10 min!

Such a huge difference, I have owned my i3 for about a month now and couldn’t stand the small screen. I couldn’t stand the huge bezels on the 6.5” it drove me insane lol

Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing but the wider screen allows it to be more useful with all the options on the idrive. This will be especially true once I install CarPlay.

Do you have a link to where you purchased? I cannot find any on aliexpress.

How do I check if I have EntryNav or EntryNav2?

Thank you,

I’m trying to figure this out too. Any luck yet?

 

[iJeff]

Anyone know if RoadTop/JoyeAuto/Bimmertech hardware will work on a 2018? Later production date so it’s Entrynav2.
And if that will work is the 14-17 widescreen compatible?
I have a 2018 later production with the smaller screen and looking to get Carplay at least and ideally Carplay + widescreen.

Just an FYI that as of 2/24/21 there seems to be absolutely not a single 10.25” screen available anywhere. I spent days trying to locate one, as I am purchasing a used i3 and HATE that smaller screen. I was so excited to learn that I could easily upgrade for less than $500, but alas....sigh....it doesn’t seem possible. If anyone has any leads on a larger screen PLEASE reach out! At this point I’ll just try and find one on EBAY.

I just bought a slightly cracked functional one for 380 free shipping. The only other one looks like an elephant sat on it for 800. I had been looking for weeks on eBay.

I have a bmw G30 with EntryNav2, I tried to run the 10.25 'monitor but to no avail, I tried many variants of the coding but I still have "No Signal" can anyone tell me what the coding for this set should be?
Here is the CID number: BMW LK CID 10.25 KYD 681051103

I have a similar problem. Did you find a solution?

Which screen did you upgrade to? i3 2018 - present, are from Kyocera, pre-2018 from Innolux, and not interchangeable, ie. the Kyocera screen will not work on pre-2018 cars, unless you also upgrade the headunit, and Innolux screens will not work on 2018 and newer cars.

I tried to upgrade to Kyocera 10.25 from Kyocera 6.5 on i3 from 2019. Without success. I just wondered if others with Entrynav2 had successfully upgraded to a Kyocera 10.25 display from the same period, and if so, what coding was implied..

If you are on FB you might try posting your question to the BMW i3 Modified Group. Several on there have done that upgrade. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BMWi3Modified

Mine navigation system says:

RL_Entrynav_Nav_I16293A

Is it EntryNav 1 or EntryNav 2?
It’s from BMW i3 10/2018
