volvo tft display retrofit brands

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.

2pcs original Volvo terminals for repair (P/N 30656697) or 2 used terminals from a white DIM Volvo connector which is a standard for all Volvos starting from 2005

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.

2 new fixing wires (Volvo P/N 30656697 or used) must be connected to position 7 and 8 to the white DIM connector. Keep plugging in the wires into the “body” of the connector until you can hear them click properly. Then you just place and click in the blue thingy to its place. If the wires do not sit they are supposed to the blue thingy will not stick.

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.

Here at Integrated Automotive we live and breath Apple CarpPlay and Android Auto, so we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a detailed FAQ covering a wide range of topics relating retrofitting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into your vehicle. This FAQ relates to our IMI-1000 retrofit Carplay/Android Auto multimedia interface which is compatible with BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Range Rover and MINI vehicles.

Apple CarPlay is a user interface designed by Apple Inc specifically for vehicles. It is designed to display applications from your phone onto the built-in display of your vehicle dash. Android Auto is designed by Android Inc/Google Inc and provides similar features to Apple CarPlay.

No, this is one of the key benefits of our retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto upgrade – our system will effecitly upgrade “non-navigation” vehicles to become “nav-equipped”.

Apple Carplay and Android Auto work by connecting your iPhone/Android phone to your in-car entertainment system, the iPhone/android phone will tranmit the CarPlay/Android user interface to the vehicles display via the retrofit Carplay/Android Auto interface (the IMI-1000) and also allows the driver to control carplay using the factory fitted entertainment controls such as BMW i-Drive or Audi MMI. CarPlay can connect wirelessly or via a USB cable.

The wireless connection method for CarPlay  is shown in the graphic below, you will notice the Bluetooth connection is dropped once the WiFi connection is established. Our IMI-1000 retrofit kit has both Bluetooth and WiFi antennas.

A small multimedia computer called the IMI-1000 is installed behind the dash, it is connected to the rear of your existing iDrive/MMI/NTG head unit and a wiring loom is provided for “plug and play installation”. It provides an interface between your iPhone/Android phone and the BMW i-Drive / Audi MMI / Mercedes NTG entertainment system. It is very similar to the “factory fit” CarPlay options you see on some new cars except that it has been designed specifically for retro-fitting into older cars which have a built in LCD displays such as the example Audi MMI system being tested in our lab below;

No, the retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto system works in parallel with the existing iDrive/MMI/NTG system. For example, you can swtich between the two by pressing the MENU button on the BMW radio panel. You do not need to remove any of the BMW iDrive system components, you simply “add in” the IMI-1000 using the plug and play wiring loom. The same is true for Audi, Mercedes, Mini and VW.

The IMI-1000 retrofit Carplay/Android auto unit is installed behind the vehicle dasboard, access is usually gained by removing the radio panel, head unit and a panel in the passenger footwell. The IMI-1000 is connected in-between the built in LCD/TFT display and the existing wiring loom. The IMI-1000 sends and receives the signals from the iPhone to the TFT display and the rest of the vehcile entertanment system. User control signals, such as BMW i-Drive or the Audi MMI control signals are interpreted by the IMI-1000 and utilised to control CarPlay. The IMI-1000 is a plug and play solution and no alterations to the OEM wiring loom are required. The CarPlay box can be removed at any time and the vehicle can be returned to factory specifications.

On most models our CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit kits will use your factory fitted microphone. If you are connecting to the car with a USB cable you can use the factory Bluetooth microphone for calls when using android auto on all models.

We do supply a microphone and have performed thorough audio testing, as the sound quality of the IMI-1000 microphone is excellent. The microphone is supplied with the retrofit kit and installation is simple.

Yes absolutely, the retrofit CarPlay kit has been designed to be installed by anybody who is a competetent DIY’er. Please note, installation is performed at the installers risk and no responsibility can be taken for damage caused by the installer.

16. How do I know if my car already has CarPlay, and if it doesnt, how do I know if my vehicle is compatible with an IMI-1000 retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto system?

If your car is featured on our list of “Compatible vehicles”, then your vehcile does not have CarPlay factory installed. However, it will have the necessary hardware and software to enable you to use our IMI-1000 to retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto with our system.

Yes your standard in-car entertainment system remains fully functional. when you want to use CarPlay/Android Auto, you enable it on the BMW’s by holding down the “MENU” key on the OEM iDrive controller. CarPlay will then be enabled and displayed on the LCD display, you can switch back to iDrive at any time. Different buttons are used as the “activation” button on different systems.

Yes, the choice between the audio source is seperate to the what is displayed on the LCD screen. For example, you can be listening to your DAB radio at the same time as using Waze navigation. The only limitation is that you can only use one audio source at a time, if you are listening to DAB radio then you will not hear the navigation instructions from CarPlay/Android Auto. If you want to listen to music as well as hear navigation instructions, you can do this by using one of the excellent “Radio” apps such as Radio.net, BBC Radio Player or one of the many music apps including Spotify or Amazon music in carplay.

Yes, the IMI-1000 is mounted inside the dash and does not interfere at all with “normal operation”of the vehicle, it also uses the original LCD display so no additional visible hardware is installed.

In this article: We"ll review 10 of our best pick Head Up Displays (HUDs) on the market, and walk you through some of the common knowledge to help you decide and installation information.

If you always thought fighter jet technology or Star-Trek was cool, you can have a piece of that in your car. Head-up displays (or HUD) were first used in fighter jets to reduce distractions and keep the pilot’s eyes in front of him. Now, vehicles are using that same technology to make cars and trucks safer. Some high-end cars have head-up technology as standard equipment, but most offer it as an extra cost option. If your vehicle doesn’t have head-up display or you don’t want to buy that higher trim level, you can add your own aftermarket head-up display.

A heads-up display can project vehicle information such as GPS maps, speed, temperature and other information to a film on the windshield, a portable shield, or directly to the windshield. It keeps your eyes on the road while you are looking at directions or checking the status of your vehicle’s engine fluids. Some HUDs can display more information than others, have different display types and more or less customizability. Price can vary drastically as well, so it"s important to compare some of the leading HUDs on the market to find the combination of features you"d like at a price you can afford.

In most cases, a head-up display connects to your vehicle’s OBD port and projects real-time data to the windshield.

They feature different colors and multiple symbols to display data so that you can see what you need at only a glance. Most HUDs are “plug and play” and are easy to install.

It"s important to note that power, data hookups and information displayed and screen format can vary widely. You need to make sure a heads-up display will work with your vehicle too. And for some HUDs, if you don’t have an OBDII hookup you won’t be able to use it. Make sure that your dash measurements will fit the product you chose, and is within the distance required from power and the OBDII port.
