Do you know if it's possible to upgrade from the 6.5" to the 8.8" screen? I hear the 8.8" - among having nav and a bunch of extra features - can also display the speed...something I do not understand why the 6.5" screen can't do (or maybe I haven't found it yet?). I had a 2007 Mini Cooper S a few years back and loved the speedometer in the middle.

 

Apologies. I realized after posting that there was an Navigation and Audio section. If someone can move this please do so.

 

Hi, I have the 2018 MINI COOPER COUNTRYMAN F60 with 6.5" screen & a basic iDrive controller which looks like part #6317694 and the joystick can swing only sideways and my car system does not have maps on it.
I wish to upgrade to the fancy iDrive controller part #9332289.I wish to know if this would be a simple swap without coding?.secondly can some one help me with the steps involved to get this idrive swap done?.Thanks.
