E39 OEM Radio Swap

Recommended Posts

How hard is it to swap the MID radio + cassette player in my E39 for the one with 16:9 screen?

Mine has dead pixels and I have tried to fix them but had no luck.
I am thinking about buying a clean used display, but if it's not too difficult I'd like to upgrade to the 16:9 screen I'd like to do that.

Also, if I was to install BlueBus, would I get access to more info and functions with the 16:9?

Not sure if it matters, but my car has the option 676 HiFi speaker system.

Wiring is completely different for models with monitors so not plug and play. 

Bluebus is great for audio but it doesnt really offer OBD type features. You'd have to go android with i-bus option to get those sort of things.

Ok good to know. I really like the idea of keeping the OEM look, but I think I'll go the Android route then. Thanks for your help!
