Looks great. How much bigger is the screen? Also, where did you get the ceramic controller? I love the one in my F15 and would like to add one to my F83.

you need to change the whole head unit , g30 unit - id6 with all the extra stuff like screen mirroring , apple car play , working connected drive based on your vin . So any good coder can do this . So yes is possible.

Now you just need the ceramic knobs to complete.

Igor_M5 Might have a ceramic controller for sale.

Someone was selling some in the f30 Classifieds as well. Not sure if they have any left.

I'd be interested in a ceramic controller, too.

Also, forgive my ignorance, but what exactly did the OP do? Did he replace the screen and if so, why. Or was there no screen on his vehicle to begin with?

10.2" Screen instead of a 8" Screen

I've done the same.

One has to purchase radio and climate control with ceramic knobs as the knobs are not sold separate.

Then it takes hours (actually days) of modifications to the controllers as they are not the same size as the plastic knobs.

It took about 6 Climate Control units before the proper solution was found (by Igor_M5 ) who I cannot thank enough.

All in for the size of the knobs, these are the most expensive parts on my car.

Let that sink in.

You need something like this

BMW 5 GT F07 LCI Ceramic Keramik AIR Clima front panel controller https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-5-GT-F0...0/232213777667

But notice the right is AUTO and not MAX AC like on the F3x/F8x platform.

Ceramic knobs are also larger than plastic knobs and worse, a different shape.

So it takes a lot of customization along with trial and error.

Screen looks great! Is it PN 65509296939? Any coding needed afterwards for ID6 vehicles?

ID4-6 and NBT EVO need a physical voltage regulator.

Reviving this thread. So I understand, an LCI F82 with the 8.8" screen is incompatible with the 10.25" NBT screen from an F15 without a voltage regulator? There is no such thing as a plug 'n play solution?

If your car is LCI with ID6 there is a pnp solution but you need trimming and some easy coding.
My car is 18 M3 and I retrofitted a F15 touchscreen.

Check this thread:
10.2" touchscreen for NBT EVO2 on f30 https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1541301

Looks awesome!

I recently added the ceramic idrive control and now I'm curious about the control knobs retrofit too.

Could you share what the process was to make the HVAC ceramic controls work...I really wouldn't want to go through multiple units to get this done, if avoidable at all.

Appreciate any guidance on this

So I've found a guide on how to remove the ceramic buttons from the F15 control unit
but now I need to understand how the larger buttons are modified to fit the F82 M4...

Hey,

Looks Great!

Have you got the Part # for the proper (that would fit an F8x) ceramic controller available?


Cheers!

I believe these are the correct part # but you should do some research to confirm.
65829350725 for similar controller as stock. 2017+ needs coding to remap buttons.
65829459630 is G11 idrive controller for 2017+ .

Hey, Thanks!

Will the latter ("G11 ….") fit (dimensions and connector) fit and work in the F8x?

Its' buttons seem to be properly configured (in the same positions as my OEM) but, almost the entire unit is Chrome!?!
