BimmerTech's VividScreen: a complete upgrade for the CCC iDrive system

Hi, just wanted to let you all know about something we've developed to help 1st generation iDrive users bring their cars up to date.

It's called VividScreen. Because that's what it is. It's a replacement for the factory iDrive display with twice the pixel density, brighter colors and better contrast. (And depending on your model, it might be quite a bit bigger, too. 8.8", just like in the latest BMWs). It really does mean that your iDrive display will finally have the same kind of image quality we expect from our computers, TVs or phones.

There's a bit more to it, though. We're bundling it with an enhanced interface, to add compatibility with our range of multimedia retrofits. So if you want to use that crisp-looking screen to watch Apple TV, to mirror your iPhone or Android smartphone, or with a park assist camera, you're in luck. Whatever you do with it, though, you're sure to notice the difference ;)

It’s specially designed for E6x and E9x models fitted with a CCC iDrive system, and integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s interior, whether your car came with a smaller 6” or larger 8.8” display.

I think it's a pretty big improvement on the factory hardware, but don't take my word for it! A few people have already upgraded their iDrive with VividScreen. Check out what one of them has to say about it in his review, and see it for yourself.

This upgrade is for the CCC iDrive.

If you have NBT and you would like to add a rear view camera or something else please send us an email at [email protected].
The Apple TV thing just seems like an accident waiting to happen. I am sure no one will watch it while driving, right?

The main feature of AppleTV is screen mirroring which allows you to use Google Maps or Waze on your VividScreen just like the regular navigation while driving.
Also many times you just sit in the car and wait for somebody/something and you could entertain yourself with sport news or a movie.
And so on...
Hi patrick

I have been using the BimmerTech front/rear camera and mirroring system on my 2015 F30 (328 xdrive) for the last year. Very very pleased and seamless integration with Android phone. The mirroring system needs an update to work with the apple iphone ios 10.
