I ended up doing the same with mine and I had to replace it with another ID4 unit using my repair codes. I couldn't stand having no nav and no ConnectedDrive Ever since then, I've been buying donor parts and using those to flash instead.

- Can you mention the exact parameter to change? I presume, it will be FDL coding the HU_NBT2? - Do you lose any stock functionality (I presume not) and is the change reversible? - Just double checking before I try out at the weekend. Thanks..

For the coding - In the HU_NBT2 Module: 3000 -> HMI_ID_VERSION set to: id6_light (id5_plus_plus is default) |

japanaltaf's reply has what coding is needed. This already is stock in some cars now and will be in the next F8x's. The programming for the different layout and the new tiles is already right there in the ECU, so the coding just switches skins, really. Both of the above are based on the assumption that you're starting with iDrive 5 as your original interface (so, a 2017 F8x, for example). It adds "live" or "active" tiles. Since it shows only 3 at a time and not all 6, that might conceivably count as "lost functionality", but apart from that nothing is actually different in terms of function. I think it looks prettier overall. It's reversible. Edit: in some respects, showing only half the tiles at a time might truly be reduced functionality depending on how you use iDrive. I'm finding it a bit annoying that I have to switch screens sometimes. On the other hand, I never previously drove around with the tiles showing because there was no point, so it's absolutely no loss for me. The live tiles are actually useful, so I now default to the main menu most of the time. I just wish it were possible to rearrange them so I could have my 3 favorites displayed at the same time, but I see no reason to believe that's possible. Update: It IS possible to rearrange the tiles.

However, I find this display somewhat busy compared to the 3 tiles. It's hard to make much use of anything displayed on them since they're so much smaller. I couldn't use this display as a menu - selecting and clicking on a tile took me back to the 3-tile display, not to the submenu corresponding to it.

Coding to "id6" gives me the iDrive 4 interface. Quote:

However, this is how you move the tiles. This is exactly the layout I use. Press the "Menu" button while in the home screen. Then turn the iDrive controller to go to the tile you want to move and shift it right or left to move the tile. Depress the controller when you want to exit that view.

Thank you so much I figured it would be done from the screen that pops up after hitting "Menu" but didn't know what to do from there. This is awesome!

Enabled id6_light. Looks a bit cluttered, but lets see how it looks while actual driving and its usability.
Great find though, and thank you everyone for the guidance. Has anyone enabled id6 (full instead of light) and what it does or looks like?

Not to me, at least not compared to the iDrive 4 and iDrive 5 main menus. I nearly always drove with the map showing because the main menu was so useless and unattractive. Now I drive with Entertainment Details, ConnectedDrive (showing weather) and Navigation displayed. That's a LOT more useful information.
We were actually able to navigate fine today using the active tile (and the HUD, of course). We still had more information than if we'd had Entertainment Details in the Split Screen view. It looks exactly like iDrive 4. I suspect it just fails because of the lack of hardware to support gestures and touch and drops to the lowest level interface available to it.

I will still miss the analog clock that came up as a screensaver. Wish there was a way to have the clock or tiles as a choice.]

Question for you guys... have a 2017 F80, 10/28 production date and it came with iDrive 5....
When I looked over the weekend my options were 4++ and 5... I didn't see ID6 in there... am i missing something? maybe a software update needed to my NBT unit. Would anyone mind posting the software versions that their unit is running and maybe i can see what i'm missing here... as a MY17 I should have this option, very weird. Using 60.1 Lite coding files as well if that makes a difference. |

Look at the 2 screenshots attached and hopefully the issue is clear. You are looking at an incorrect entry. Search for HMI_ID_VERSION and not HMI_VERSION Quote:
