i have a lot of these parts for sale. reach out if interested. was a project i was working on but realized that unfortunately, BMW has 2 part numbers for the dash, 1 for the regular radio and 1 for both 6.5 and 8.8" screens. since i have the basic radio, it would require me to cut up my dash to fit the 8.8"....so the project, after buying all the parts, is over.
if anyone has any interest, PM me.

Pulled from a 2016 model, so no CarPlay, but it has the 8" screen and touchpad along with the head unit.

If one is happy to continue using the 6.5" display, do you think all that would be required to activate CarPlay is the Headunit and FSC Codes? Or is a touchscreen also required?

Like @6FT6 said the touchscreen isn’t necessary for CarPlay, as you can use the controller mostly just a preference. The important part is having the actual NBT EVO id5 head unit that allows for CarPlay to be used. I’ll leave here a link to the marketplace in which I’m selling my unit and non touch display so you can see CarPlay working.

It's a little hard for me to read, but for sure HW needs to be 3.1 and build date should be late 2017. Currently shipped out my unit to get coded but my part number is 65128792249 and that has touch. Of course also important to make sure its a Mini one and not a BMW just because BMW doesn't have the blue gps antenna connector and instead uses an ATM module for that.

I have a 2017 S Convertible with the 8.8" visual boost. I would love to be able to swap out my unit for the touchscreen with ApplePlay. Has anyone successfully done this? The dealership says it can be done, but then again, they aren't able to tell me much about the unit that is in my car to begin with. It seems there is little to no support for MINI Connected. Kinda sucks!

Upgrade 6.5" monitor to 8.8" F60 MINI Countryman
Hi, My Mini Cooper CoiuntryMan F60 Radio VisualBoost came with a 6.5" faceplate and i wish to upgrade it to the 8.8" faceplate.Will this be a simple plug & play connection?.Will i face any issues since the connectors on the back of both units look the exact same.Has anyone done this?.Please advice & share your experiences.

Upgrade 6.5" monitor to 8.8" F60 MINI Countryman
I want to upgrade the screen from 6.5" to the 8.8".I checked the connectors at the behind of both and they look exactly similar.I want to keep the head unit/radio and just swap the display from 6.5" to 8.8".Should this be possible?.Are the screens VIN locked?.Has anyone done this?.Is this a simple plug & play?.Should i expect any issues?.Please advice.Thanks.
