Hi everone!
I just bought a used G20, which is one of the earlier models and has the Live Cockpit Plus (6U2) option, which in March 2019 meant it was made with the 8.8" screen with iDrive 6 and the digital/analog dials.
To be frank the screen size is generally adequate, but the thick borders really do bother me so, let's try to change that by installing a larger screen
In theory, I need to replace the screen with the larger one and code the car to the larger screen/resolution and that should be it. The previous-gen X5 has a 10.25" and ID6, which tells me it's compatible.
Will be posting updates how that goes and what steps I had to take, in case someone else wants to try it too.
Notes so far:
- Screen part number: 65508798742
- Ensure the 10.25" screen is touch, during the chip shortage some were just not made with touch. For CarPlay it's a must.
Cheers
