bmw tft display retrofit made in china

I have got my USED TFT KOMBI in my hands last Saturday and my first goal was to check if really used TFT cannot be properly coded. Definitely this is NOT a problem: for my test I used an F850GS factory equipped with 6AB connectivity.

I swapped the original TFT on F850 with the used part (it was from a crashed 2018 R1200GS Rallye), and it showed the data of the donor motorcycle (mileage, settings, vehicle image and next service date), the kilometers are less than the GS850 and displayed in red due to anti tamper settings.

At this point I tried doing KOMBI mileage alignment, but ISTA+ refused the service plan because the TFT was exchanged without following the ISTA procedure.

So I choose Vehicle Management - Control Unit Replacement - After Replacement procedure for KOMBI3 and followed all the steps, finally the new VIN and data of F850GS were perfectly stored into the used TFT, and it has become an exact clone of the original one (I was able to exchange the two TFT without any errors in ISTA). Also the ABS error was solved after the procedure.

This was only an experiment, my goal will be to install TFT in 2017 R1200GS following the same procedure used above, but first need the connector to do the cable conversion as wrote before, the part is not more available from BMW and the China one from the above link has not the correct shape.

1. Retrofitting all the OEM setup/audio/navigation setup - advantages are it"s all stock/OEM and that"s about it. Disadvantages are given the age of the physical modules, they"re failing more often, there"s multiple points of failure for each module, the oem Bluetooth is outdated and more newer phones don"t work at all or properly, maintaining all the modules/keeping them operational is expensive, to "add on" more functionality is expensive and to then improve the mediocre sound quality nicely is also expensive. There"s many owners who have done the whole hog, retrofitted it all and then added on and then improved SQ. There"s others who already had the OEM setup and have kept the modules going, added on and improved SQ. There"s others who either retrofitted/had it already and are just keeping the modules going with minimal addons, then the same again who aren"t doing anything except keeping them operational as best as.

2. Would you "ideally" like if all the OEM modules had 21st century electronics swapped in so that physically everything looks stock but the latest technology used? things like the same size monitor panel but higher resolution & possibly touchscreen, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, the latest Bluetooth connectivity/multi point/high definition Codecs etc, Digital Radio and Sirius/XM reception, Digital TV reception, the latest GPS and route planning features, converting the CD changer to perhaps a SSD hard drive storage unit and so on? if so, how much would you pay to have such a setup once you retrofit the OEM modules?

There"s more options, but as you say you don"t want an aftermarket setup, those options currently seem off the table for you. Although not "stock", but using later BMW "stock" items, would you do the NBT retrofit ?

Used TFT clocks DIM from S/V60, XC60, S80II, XC/V70III made in the years 2014 to 2017 (the unit from V40 series can only be used in V40 cars - it has different mechanical shape than x60, x70, x80)

make sure that you located the TFT DIM that matches the transmission type of the target car - Automatic (PRND display) or Manual (+ Gear -) on the right side of the display. Diesel/petrol fuel type of the donor car does NOT matter.

Then press DECODE CEM. We must warn you this process can take up to 24 hours(but on average it usually does not take more than 12 hours). During the whole process you can interrupt the decoding process and continue later. If you do the CEM PIN decoding then you no longer need to do it again. Thanks to this you can also make other changes in the vehicle configuration including the TFT retrofit. After this process is done you will receive an email to the account you put in in the beginning.

Then choose CAR CONFIGURATION and then “Car configuration wizard”. Then you only need to choose the “TFT retrofit” wizard. Make sure DIM is connected.

Connect DiCE again, turn the ignition key to position II and open VDASH again on your computer. Go to “Car configuration wizard” and choose TFT retrofit again.

VDASH will begin to look for the newly connected TFT DIM. If all wires are correctly plugged in, the update process will begin. If not then check the connecting of the wires again using the multimeter.

Your vehicle will restart itself many times during the process and at the end you will see a picture of the vehicle, the state of fuel and more. At the very beginning the incorrect measures can be displayed, but after a short trial run it should be fixed. The kilometres will also automatically reappear.

You can change and move the clock motivesonly when the engine is running (this does not have any specific explanation). The designated motive is Elegance(grey or brown). It is possible to reprogramme this motive to a blue version “R-design” (using car configuration > advanced settings > Advanced TFT DIM settings > Screen Skins > DIM: R-design menu), motives Ecoand Powerremain unchanged.

1. Temporarily disconnect newly connected cables from the white DIM connector, and connect the original DIM2. Start the engine (SCL the steering lock will now unlock)3. While the engine is running, disconnect the original DIM connector and reconnect the additional wiring, connect the TFT DIM4. Turn the engine off and lock the car5. SCL will NOT turn on again (unless you connect the original DIM). You will not observe any further immobilisation issues.

The display unit/infotainment unit is made of TFT (Thin Film Transistors) or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and provides the user with different kinds of information (navigation, weather forecast, internet, etc.) and entertainment (video and audio). Generally, the size of the display/infotainment unit ranges from 2-20 inches. The entry-level car display unit ranges from 3-5 inches. Most mid-segment cars have an average screen size of 7 inches. However, the need for safety features, navigation, vehicle diagnostics, and other entertainment services has increased, which offer customers access by using a simple touch screen and sometimes with audio-video interfaces.

For instance, Mercedes-Benz launched the 2021 S-Class with a 12.8-inch OLED screen with haptic feedback. Further, Lexus RX SUV is coming up with a 12.3-inch touch screen system. BMW"s latest infotainment system, iDrive 7, comes with a standard or as an optional feature in most of the latest models. There are also some vehicles coming in with more than one screen to offer a more personalized experience and comfort. All these factors are expected to drive the installation of infotainment/display units across all vehicle categories.

However, the need for safety features, navigation, vehicle diagnostics, and other entertainment services has increased, which offer customers access by using a simple touch screen and sometimes with audio-video interfaces. Further, with every new model launch, the screen size of infotainment systems is getting bigger as it adds a premium quotient to the vehicle and becomes an important aspect for consideration while purchasing a new vehicle. Further, premium vehicle producers are putting efforts for infotainment systems to the next level altogether. Moreover, the screen size of >8 inches is mainly found in premium and luxury cars. For instance, Mercedes-Benz launched the 2021 S-Class with a 12.8-inch OLED screen with haptic feedback. Further, Lexus RX SUV is coming up with a 12.3-inch touch screen system.
