I think the cars here without nav get the smaller screen but ID7. Another user has a similar car with the smaller screen I think and he has ID7.

Perhaps BMW might have changed because my car has navigation and 8" screen but it came with iD6, it was sold to me as a 2020 but according to its vin production is 03/19, I got it on octuber last year.

Wait. I just noticed you’re in the US. That’s weird that you have ID6 with nav. BMW has so many confusing configurations!

I just found a video that someone actually did what I originally propose in this topic, I think it's just in turkish or a weird language. So it's possible to retrofit a digital cluster, my question is, what about ID7? |

ID7 has replaced ID6 system for Live Cockpit and LiveCockpitPlus on all G20 cars built from July 2020.
Before, borh LC and LCP systems were running on ID6. Both LC and LCP come with 8.8" screen. ID7 update also comes with updated analog cluster that comes with a vertical display in-between the analog dials for speed and rpms. It's possible to buy the ID7 headunit, 10.25" screen and digital instrument cluster but it's very expensive and requires a lot of coding with potential problems and incompatibilities. IMHO, it's not worth it. Additionally, if you only want Android Auto, you can buy wireless Android Auto/CarPlay media box and hook it up to your ID6 headunit. It's a couple of hundreds of $, and it's simply installed. Last edited by Calamari; 08-07-2020 at 08:20 AM.. |

I think the Aux sound input is the one thing that's problematic because G20 doesn't have it. |

According to my VIN one of these head units should be in mine, and they appear to me that they are actually MGU but running ID6 and not NBT, the only way to know would be to remove my trims and take a look at what's actually in there I guess.. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...BMW-320d&mg=65 |

Ok, so I just took out the trim because I was curious to see what's in there, this is what I can see without digging dipper, doesn't look like nbt to me
I believe is not nbt but actually some sort mgu, what do you think? according to this all g20s are mgu https://www.bimmer-tech.net/blog/ite...cic-nbt-nbtevo Looks like this is the part https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-BMW-F30...IAAOSwkcleSlrs Last edited by juanmad; 08-07-2020 at 07:52 PM.. |

There really isn't space to fit one of those mmi boxes like there is on the f30. Also, in order to remove the head unit you will have to remove the hole dash, from what I've seen everything is one hole dash and the HU is under it..

It's not required to remove the dashboard, but it is necessary to remove most of the center console (cup holders tray with the cover, gear lever cluster and the surrounding trim). Last edited by Calamari; 10-05-2020 at 03:48 AM.. |

. I guess they've done this to help prevent theft as well - there was a spate of car thefts here where the cars were left, but the head units and screens taken |

They later want to try some sort of tricks from Idrive 6 to cluster via Ethernet connection to grab map connection without needing MGU but i doubt it. My G20 came with idrive 7 and digital cluster, but i am planning to get F90 either PreLCI or LCI. If i somehow ended up getting PreLCI, i will be all over to upgrade both iDrive 6 and cluster to newer modules. MGU will be real tricky to retrofit i believe.
