Is is possible that the photo is photoshopped? I can't see how you'd be able to change the color of the MID between the gauges...

How can you be sure that the Nokia and the BMW screens are similar?

I have no way to know for sure but something tells me that it may not be an apples to apples comparison...

It's easy to do via i-drive. You need your dealer to install CIP 20.0.03 Ado BE version.
