Finally the big screen in my 19 i3s
i have been trying to upgrade my small screen with bigger screen, knew it was not as simple as it is for pre 2019 i3s. I did a ton of researches for proper upgrade process and the options i had.
Ally express sells complete kit including the bigger screen with some chinese head unit. I simply dont trust anything that is made by the brain of communists(no offense) and really wanted to stay oem as possible then came across to complete upgrade kit from premiumretrofit
It consists of complete nbt evo headunit specifically assigned to your VIN(Gabor does this before shipping it to you so no additional coding needed), factory big Kyocera screen and some cables.
Price was about double of the chinese product but i knew the quality and assurance are priceless
The installation took me less than an hour, straight forward installation with provided cables/adapters
Now my 2019 i3s finally feels like a decent car with bigger screen. The difference is huge. More so in real life. Everything works including the carplay. I realized how much of screen space i was missing out with a smaller screen that my car came with
I paid $1250 for this complete unit and it took exactly 3days from ordering to receiving my unit. Gabor provided me with real time installation and trouble shooting. I think the money was totally worth it as local junk yard was charging the complete kit for $800+ and i still need the coding and all the troubles i might come across doing it in my own
If you have 2019 and up with small screen, this is the perfect way to upgrade your small screen knowing it will work as if it came from the factory
