iDrive Update

Hey guys!

Can I update my iDrive if I have the small screen without the navigation?

I am not talking about the software update you find on BMW's website btw

Any help is appreciated!

You have told us what you are not talking about. So what exactly are you talking about and trying to accomplish.

as in can you go from id4 to id5/6?

not easily, and you will encounter an unstable hu after

plus you would have to ship out your hu to a pro to do it, so you would be without entertainment for some amount of time

you can do a id5/6 retrofit depending on what you really want to do $1500-3000 depending on what you need

or carplay mmi w/ 8.8 inch bmw screen for about $400
or android 10 inch cid for a bit more

Yes exactly like this! Go from one idrive update to another! I guess it's not really possible then :/

possible, yes...stable and free, no

inexpensive great mods are ~$150-200 for the 8.8 inch widescreen cid from ebay

and about $250 for a carplay/aa mmi
