u can just put a 8.8" screen but the idrive menu it will be on the first 3/4 of the 8.8" screen from left to right
if u use a modnavy unit the movie will be on the full screen
good luck

thanks for the info, i thought it was just on the small screen nav replacing the screen cause that problem...
so i guess the best thing to do is get the retrofit? or just piece by piece from ebay?
