Bought a CPO 2008 535i a couple weeks ago and am still getting use to everything, but its a great car to say the least.

Is there a way to have 1 full screen on the display instead of the splt screen? I'd like to be able to utilize the full screen for navigation, instead of the radio/nav combo or the nav/direction combo. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere.

Thanks.

 

Sorry, the 60/40 split screen is something you'll have to get used to...

 

bummer. Thanks for the reply.

 

really? i'm pretty sure you can just have one screen, though i don't remember how. the salesman set mine up as 2 screens...i'm pretty sure he didn't do any particular dealer-only trick to get it that way either.

 

Well Rudy,
There's actually a really expensive, time intensive and certainly not efficient way of getting around this. The answer lies in a full CIC LCI Mod and 2010 Nav Software. I know, I know. Its not the practical response NYGOLF was looking for.

Cheers!

I had a 2011 328i for loaner while my car was in service.
The idrive on 328i can display full screen.
Maybe the F10 idrive can too?

 

is the back input of a 8.8 " screen same for up to f10? i want to get a better screen than my 2006 model. thx

 

Georgieb-
How much $ are we talking here?

 

that looks awesome. i'd be interested to at least know what the heck it is. doubt i would want to spend the money and do it, but it does look cool. also, i'm sure it would void the warranty, huh?

 

The F10 can, the E60 can't (except for one that's been modded...)
