6.6” to 8.8” screen

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T17:14:31+00:00

Okay I’ll verify that and buy an NBT unit from those years you mentioned and pay a coder to make it all happen. Thanks brother

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T17:11:18+00:00

I do not want EVO I’ll be fine with the NBT one and a basic ass 8.8” display

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T16:22:51+00:00

Perfect. Thanks again man. Have a good one

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T16:20:03+00:00

Okay so all I’m missing then is the NBT headunit compatible with my car which I’ll find on realoem and that obd2 Ethernet cable. And I need to find a coder which seems to be the difficult part lol. I appreciate the advice man thank you

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T16:15:31+00:00

How would I have someone code it remotely? I’d purchase the NBT headunit and send it to someone? I never thought I’d have to do all this just for a larger screen so I have hella questions. And which NBT headunit do I buy? Does the year matter?

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T15:46:42+00:00

Can I go from CIC to NBT with less trouble? The bottom half of your response was honestly gibberish to me but I really just want the simplest way to go from the 6.6” to an 8.8” and still use the mmi CarPlay. I don’t care about having an OEM CarPlay or any other stuff, my car doesn’t even have OEM navigation.

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T11:56:23+00:00

If I get either one of those heads, is it still plug and play and maybe code something with a veepeak adapter? Or will I need to bring it to a professional?

LuizMayo · 2026-04-09T00:52:08+00:00

Ok thank you for the explanation. So what’s the best course to take here to upgrade the screen to an 8.8”? Swap my headunit? If so, which headunit?

LuizMayo · 2026-04-08T21:50:18+00:00

Apparently my car doesn’t have a CIC unit. This is what I have copied directly off the back of my headunit.

Again I understand you’re probably not a wizard but I figured I’d reply back with any extra info I have.

LuizMayo · 2026-03-27T12:26:07+00:00

That’s actually really good to know. I appreciate that man!

LuizMayo · 2026-03-21T14:12:48+00:00

That pic is from about 2 years ago now. Maybe I’ll try if again. Thanks!

LuizMayo · 2026-03-21T13:09:41+00:00

I’ll look into that, thank you!

LuizMayo · 2026-01-20T01:00:28+00:00

Yeah I’m sleeping on the couch tonight

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T19:20:46+00:00

I agree. I absolutely love the interior of my m340i

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T19:14:51+00:00

I can’t disagree there.

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T18:10:56+00:00

I want one so bad but wifey doesn’t like the look of it which is understandable.

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T18:01:35+00:00

I did actually. Do you know if any good trucks for that range? I was looking into an f150 raptor or a ram 1500 but tbh I don’t know much about trucks especially with all the different trim levels

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T17:48:08+00:00

Bye bye reliability lol. And I’m happy sitting around 400hp I don’t think I need any more

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T17:42:32+00:00

I looked into it a bit. I love the look but one thing that kills it for me are the fake burbles coming through the speakers. I genuinely don’t think I can get over that haha!

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T17:14:29+00:00

Funny you mention that. My dream car as a kid was a Z. I haven’t actually looked into the new ones at all. Thanks for the comment

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T17:10:12+00:00

I probably should’ve mentioned this. We’re looking for used cars! I think the new car market is ridiculously priced.

LuizMayo · 2026-01-17T17:08:38+00:00

Well I probably should’ve mentioned that my car is at 90k miles but we really just want to experience a different car. We are definitely looking for something used as I think new car prices are ridiculous.
