Mr12Volt P2000 CCC
Hello Gents,
Just bought this MMI device which uses the CD exchanger input on my Hifi radio set of my E61 2005 CCC car. My car didn't have the cd exchanger but I enabled it using NCS expert https://www.carinterface.nl/index.ph...product_id=723
This MMI uses the original 8.8" screen but I'd like to know whether or not it's also possilbe to seperatly upgrade the screen itself to a higher resolution screen and will it still work with the MMI?
I guess its depending on the video chip in the MMI and whether or not it supports the higher resolution. Not sure......
Can anyone elaborate on the above?
This guy on m3post seems to have found a higher-resolution screen he's all excited about. He says he doesn't have a link to it though.
Are you finding the lower resolution CCC screen is actually a problem? I believe @Anthro installed a Joyeauto mmi box on his CCC setup and was quite happy with it for CarPlay even at the current resolution. I did a CIC retrofit only because I found one for a great price locally but otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. So I am running that higher resolution.

Yeah..thats exactly the question. I don't really care about a higher res. The Mr12Volt provides beasically all the functionality you currently want and with a very good sound quality so why bother about the screen res.
Just wanted to know whether the MMI can ciope with it.

update: Added the latest Mr12Volt P2000-MD to my CCC 2006. Quite hazzle to get the f******ing cable sorted. Absolutley no room...but he upgrade is worth it. Sound quality is really good as it uses the CD exchanger fibre optic (most) input in the hifi unit. You do need to code it if its not enabled already. used NCS expert to code in CDC. I also removed #694 (cd preparation) and added #672 (CDC) to the verhicle order. Don't know if it was really needed as everything appeared to be working first time trying. Android auto using bluetooth and wifi works perfectly. You can also connect it using a cable.
All in all quite a nice upgrade for my sweet 16 year old....
