bmw lcd screen repair quotation
Thanks very much for the replies everyone. Just a personal preference but I would lean towards a protective film rather than an abraisive solution. When I used an eraser in an attempt to make the scratch disappear, I ended up removing the matte finish so now I"m left with these streaks on the screen that make the display not sunlight readable.
When I hold my hand over the top of the screen to reduce / block the sunlight, the display is perfectly visible. This is why I think some sort of matte protective film might work.
I ordered a replacement screen from China on eBay. I followed this write-up to disassemble the screen unit from the car, then disassembled the electronics from the screen (no biggie) plugged the FRESH new screen into the circuit board, replaced the metal protector and connected it back to the plastics, reinstalled it into the car, and voila, totally fresh new screen. Total time. 20 minutes to remove from car and check to make sure it was part number LQ088K9LA02, 2 weeks wait to receive the part from China. Then about 1 hour to remove and replace the screen. Perfect replacement, perfect fit, really pretty easy job.
Actually I saw this a bit when I was shopping used 2 Series. My impression was that it was more common with cars that had not been garaged. I wondered if the more frequent and more dramatic change in temps/humidity for cars that spent the night on the street or more frequent direct sun made delamination more likely but that was just a casual impression. I passed on a 228i THP that among other issues had one of the worst delaminated screens I saw. It looked like spider webs across the screen and the screen was just unreadable. As you have found out, the dealer option is beaucoup dollars. Used options rarely showed up on eBay when I was watching. The option I considered was from BimmerTech. The 230i I bought didn"t need a replacement screen so I haven"t tried them but
Repair is just as advertised, I bought a used 2006 BMW X5 and the radio was pixelated and unreadable. Followed instructions on youtube video on how to remove the radio, and sent off. Radio returned promptly and the LED works awesome. The X5 is a great vehicle and I"m super happy to have the radio working again.

So the Lexerd screen film arrived today and I applied it to my iDrive screen with mixed results. The anti-glare scratches were certainly less noticeable, and invisible from some angles, but not gone. It also took me three attempts to apply the film, which rolled up a bit in one corner from taking it on and off.
First step is to remove the navigation unit located in the trunk by using special BMW U shaped tools or simply just use 4 "4 inch long nails" inserting into 4 holes as shown in the pictures then slide out the navigation computer.
These systems were first seen in the E39 in August 2000 production and E38s for the 2001 model year. The MKIII system simplified the layout a bit further (see Diagram 3 at the end of this document), moving the GPS receiver (Trimble) inside the nav computer housing; now GPS antenna is plugged directly into the MKIII computer itself. Software upgrades included more choices of native languages, and a split-screen option for the graphics to take advantage of the wide screen On Board Monitor launched in mid production of the 2001 model year. A faster CPU of course was also another key advancement. These systems were first seen in the E39 in August 2000 production andE38s for the 2001 model year.

The display on my 2012 E70 CPO w/ only 13K miles was looking pretty shabby--like many of you have experienced, the anti-glare coating was worn away, probably from an attempt to clean the display. I thought about taking it to the dealer and arguing for replacement of the $2K display, but then I thought it would likely happen again over time because the anti-glare coating is so fragile. So I decided to take the advice of some of you in this forum and apply a screen protector. In my case, I chose to remove the remaining anti-glare coating because it would likely do more harm than good if left in place.
I decided that doing a proper job would be too difficult to do with the screen in the car, so I elected to remove my display. It wasn"t very difficult. I found a YouTube video with instructions that were quite helpful:
Next, it was time to apply the screen protector. I decided to buy a protector from Nushield (www.nushield.com) because I saw that others that had purchased the Lexerd protector had to trim it down. Nushield didn"t list a protector for my 2012 E70, but customer service was very helpful and the 2011 protector turned out to be the correct size. I purchased some of Nushield"s Step 1 wet wipes with my protector, and I cleaned the screen with that and then dried and polished the screen with their included cloth. I then blew off any residual dust particles with some "canned air," available at any office supply store.
The quality of the film seems to be very high, and the screen now looks great--really, better than new. I turned on the car, and the display looked wonderful! Extremely sharp and glare-free, and free of the ugly blotchiness that was so bothersome. And now I can clean my display worry free because it has no fragile coating.
