bmw x5 lcd display made in china

BMW 3 series (E36), 5 series (E34, E39), 7 series (E38), 8 series (E31), X5 from 1988-2003 all have the common dead / fading / disappearing pixels on the dashboard instrument cluster / speedometer (also on the board computer) - on the large LCD display that shows valuable data such as the mileage and the on board computer messages. The LCD display pixel problem lies with the OBC ribbon cable that connects the LCD display to the circuit board of the instrument cluster. The pictures below show the speedo / instrument cluster"s LCD display before and after the silver ribbon cable KIT replacement (just an example of several board computer / dashboard instrument cluster types):

The instrument cluster units in the BMW E38, E39 and X5 models from 1994-2003 are quite similar - (they were all produced by Siemens VDO) - using the same LCD and the same ribbon cable at all models. There are minor differences, like diesel or petrol powered ones, and also some speedos come with miles others with km/hrs, however the OBC LCD display and the ribbon cable is the same at all 5 series (E39) 7 series (E38) and X5 (E53) and M5 models.

Fits all BMW E38 7 series A/C (air conditioning) climate control units assembled with 2 small LCD"s - just like the one on the picture. Essential for dead or fading pixel repairs.

BMW 8 series (E31), from1988-1999 all have the common disappearing/fading pixels on the on board computer LCD. The problem lies with the ribbon cable that connects the LCD display to the circuit board of the MID.

BMW 3 series (E36), from1988-1999 all have the common disappearing / fading or completely dead LCD pixels on the board computer display. The problem lies with the ribbon cable that connects the LCD display to the circuit board of the MID. All 3 variants (8 / 11 / 16 buttons) are available.

This is a very common failure at BMW E90, E91, E92 BMW CD73 stereo / radio / head units, that the central display has missing lines and columns, missing and fading pixels all around the LCD display.Most common at BMW 3 series E90, but E91 E92 and other models are also affected.

This is a very common failure at BMW E90, E91, E92 BMW CD73 stereo / radio / head units, that the central display has missing lines and columns, missing and fading pixels all around the LCD display.

If your display is leaking, suffers from pixel issues (one or more pixels, or complete lines are missing), or completely dead, then this KIT will NOT help, this case please do not buy it!

This is a very common failure at BMW Bavaria radio units, that the display has missing lines and columns, missing and fading pixels all around the LCD display.

Why do the BMW speedometer LCD displays fail with pixel failure? DIY Pixel repair helps with pixel failure? Well the BMW speedo manufacturers have a few minurtes only to produce a complete BMW speedo with LCD dispay and silver. Because of this, VDO Instrument Cluster manufacturer decied to assemble the BMW LCD display and the silver ribbon cable with heat bonding procedure. This BMW speedometer assembly design makes the contacts of the LCD display and the ribbon cable loose contact very fast, most cases in just a few years. This means, the BMW LCD display show pixel failures, it needs pixel repair, but both the silver ribbon cable and the BMW LCD display work well - only the connection of them is bad, tha is why you have LCD display pixel problems, and you need a pixel fix by a professional, or done DIY with an LCD display pixel repair KIT - a silver cable. How can we improve the quality of the LCD displays and the ribbon cables? Well if you assemble the LCD with the ribbon cable with pressure, no heat bonding, then the pixels of the BMW LCD display will work for an unlimited time. Dashboard LCD displays work on high temperature, so it is the best to avoid using the heat bonding procedure. Pixel repair DIY, or pixel fix by a professional?

The LCD display repair ribbon cable KIT is available in silver cable version. Once the BMW dashboard instrument cluster LCD display pixel failure was properly repaired, the BMW speedometer display will work as new, the silver ribbon cable and the LCD will work for good in the speedometer.

- If the bulbs are out behind the display, then all the rows and colunms do work on the BMW speedometer LCD display, but the background light of the LCD display is uneven, or some cases the BMW LCD display is completely dark. This case no need to repair the pixels, you do not need a silver or carbon ribbon cable, nor a new LCD display. This case you just need to buy the lightbulbs that provide light behind the BMW LCD display.

- If the BMW speedometer LCD display has really pixel problems, then typically lines or colunms of the display are missing. Several cases the characters are broken, numbers and letters shown on the speedometer display are unreadable - tha backlight is even. In case of a real pixel problem, when one or more pixels are missing from the display, you need to buy a silver ribbon cable, a carbon ribbon cable, or some cases a complete BMW LCD display. It really depends on that if it is a BMW, a Mercedes, and Audi, Saab or other make, and of course if it a MID display, a speedometer, a board computer or other LCD dipslay. Most cases, when you have a pixel failure, and you decide to repair it, it"s really worth to buy a set of bulbs too, as bulbs tend to go out during repair - this is due to the massive mechanical shocks experienced during the pixel repair procedure.

Well, most of the BMW pixel repair KITs we sell are designed to be simple and easy to use. The word easy should now be the subject of further discussion. An average BMW speedometer LCD display pixel repair is far more difficult then replacing a lightbulb. You definitely have to have good mechnical skills, and some household tools, such as nippers, screewdrivers, household tape, and other goodies to fix things around the house.

If you have to ask one of these questions, then you definitly should NOT do a BMW speedometer LCD display pixel repair at home (we were asked these questions before, this is not a joke):

Chinese buyers seem to have a thing for the BMW X5 but they also love cars and SUVs with an extended wheelbase. Thus, the Bavarian automaker unveiled the X5 xDrive30Li and the X5 xDrive40L, two longer variants of the SAV produced in China by BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd. that will be exclusively available in the local market.

The timing of the release is a bit weird since we are expecting the facelifted BMW X5 to arrive in late 2022, although styling changes are expected to be subtle so they could be easily incorporated in the Li as well. The X5 Li brings a 130 mm (5.1 inches) increase in the wheelbase compared to the regular fourth-generation X5 introduced in 2018. This means that the X5 xDrive30Li and the X5 xDrive40Li have a wheelbase of 3,105 mm (122.2 inches) and measure 5,052 mm (198.9 inches) long if we are doing the math right. The former is identical to the BMW X7, although the flagship SUV remains the longest of the range being 5,151 mm (202.8 inches) long.

BMW says that all of the extra length has been used to the benefit of the rear passengers with plenty of legroom to spare. This is evident from the exterior with the longer rear doors providing easier access to the cabin. The Li variants come standard with plenty of kit, including comfort seats with four degrees of extra backrest tilt, a panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, a wireless charging tray, perforated metal covers for the speakers, electroplated finish for controls, and a bespoke M Aerodynamics package for the exterior.

Just like the regular-wheelbase variants with the same names, the xDrive30Li is fitted with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 261 hp (195 kW / 265 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft), while the xDrive40Li gets the more powerful turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine producing 329 hp (245 kW / 333 PS) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. In both cases, power is set to all four wheels through an eight-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox and BMW’s xDrive AWD system. The long-wheelbase X5s come standard with electronically controlled dampers, while the xDrive40Li has the option of two-axle air suspension with automatic self-leveling function.

Unlike the regular-wheelbase X5 that is built in the BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina, US, the Li variants will be produced in the BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd. Dadong plant in Shenyang, China after a major expansion of the facilities. This will free up space in the US plant for producing more units to cover the growing demand and also start building the BMW XM towards the end of 2022.

Both the X5 xDrive30Li and the X5 xDrive40Li will be available in China starting from April 2022 as part of the BMW Brilliance joint venture. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet but, logically, it will be higher than the standard models with the same powertrains.

The fully redesigned 2014 BMW X5 has been spotted testing in China revealing many new details well ahead of its world debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 2013.

But the biggest revelation brought forward by these snaps are the car"s interiors. The dashboard features a LCD screen that pops out of it as opposed to a built-in display as seen on the current generation.

The 2014 BMW X5 would be more than 100kg lighter than the ongoing model. Exact powertrain details are not known yet but the lineup, from an Indian perspective, is likely to feature a 2.0 litre diesel generating 245hp and a 3.0 litre diesel with 302hp.

In China, the 2014 BMW X5 is expected to be showcased at the 2014 Beijing Auto show. The incoming car could be a tad more expensive than the current model.

Inside is a large touchscreen LCD from which vehicle controls are accessed, and you can connect your devices to the system. The front grille can display anything from the KITT OS red lights to the Youxia logo to a cat or whatever–anything goes!

Oh no, they didn’t... Hell yeah, they did! No matter how hard you look at this image, your eyes will keep telling you it’s a BMW X5, but it isn’t. The Chinese got you on this one. This car, with a name so massive it should be one of the entries in spelling bees, has actually been banned in Germany, and in fact, there’s a German owner of a legit BMW X5 who tore apart and razed down the Shuangshuang clone of the same–dude was uber mad! Wouldn’t you be? But the Chinese aren’t taking any of that; they just keep bringing it the harder you fight them. The car has a touch of the Toyota Land Cruiser upfront, but the rest is all BMW X5.

For most of us in Greece ordering a BMW navi system would increase ridiculously the price of the X1 due to the absurd Greek tax system. The initial solution of the local BMW affiliate was to retrofit a BMW integrated navi (aftermarket but BMW endorsed) for 690 euros and free map upgrades for 2 years. This retrofit used he existing 6,5 screen.

All in all the android screen upgrade is worth the money even if you already own a BMW navi pack, since you benefit from the larger screen that enhances the looks of the car, an android tablet and touch screen as well as alternative navi software with live traffic and frequent map updates.

It may not sound like much for the uninitiated, but for a lot of people and customers, the location where a certain model is made, especially when it comes to German cars, is vital. That’s why news that the BMW X5 will be made in China, for the local market, is quite a big deal. The report comes from Euronews, quoting a spokesperson and confirms a leak we showed you a while back, featuring a long wheelbase X5 posted on China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology website, as part of the model’s homologation process.

“We will be adding localized production of the BMW X5 in China, for the Chinese market,” the spokesperson said, without providing a start date, according to Euronews. However, according to other sources involved in the process the production of the X5 in China will start in the second quarter of 2022, at the BMW-Brilliance joint venture plant in Shenyang. This isn’t the first move BMW is making in this regard, in order to cope with the rising demand from the communist country.

In recent years, China has become the largest BMW market in the world and the tariffs imposed by the US against it had a big impact. Since the X5 is currently made exclusively at the Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, BMW had to find an alternative, to keep deliveries going. Therefore, in 2018, BMW started making the X5 in Thailand, via CKD, delivering up to 20,000 units a year to China from there, in order to keep up with the demand.

From January to September this year, China accounted for 700,000 units of the grand total sold by BMW, an increase of about 20 percent compared to last year. To put things in context, that’s about a third of all the sales recorded in Europe, Asia and the Americas combined. With this move, BMW is expecting sales to grow even further next year.

Just replaced my navigation LCD screen with one from Ebay for $130 shipped (seller was in Minnesota). I had a constant yellow hue and one spot of dead pixels.

My original screen was a 51U. I cannot tell a difference externally from the two LCDs. For some reason they cover up the "SHARP Made in Japan" stamping with stickers that say "Made in China".

No dead pixels on the new LCD, but my image was shifted off about 1 cm to the right. Bummer. Had to disassemble the whole thing and then reassemble with the LCD hanging by the ribbon cable so I could adjust the H-POS potentiometer on the back-side. I also noticed some ghosting, but adjusting the VCO potentiometer solved that issue.

- Place the LCD and electronics into the front plastic frame (has the buttons) first, then tuck in the 2-wire cable for the front light sensor, and lastly press the rear plastic frame on
