Also where did you obtain the larger screen. It looks like all the people I can find that sells the larger screen with nav are from Europe. Im so surprised that this retrofit business is so discouraged in the USA.
Thanks for the picture and info

sefann,
I did not go to dealer thus no recoding has been involved. Basically I started to install my CCC navigation which I bought from Europe (eBay). First I installed the display and was surprised that all connectors perfectly fitted (actually there are only two connectors there, one is for power and another is LVDS video signal). After that I started to install main CCC module with CD and DVD and here where problem has come - I am missing correct LVDS cable to connect my display and CCC unit. So I just uninstalled CCC unit and plug back original non-navigation one while keeping 8.8" display connected. After that I started the engine and here we go display shows the picture.
Picture is not fully correct in any of the menus - at the right side it is always empty space. So only the same size (6.5") is used on the 8.8" display for the information, the rest is empty, hoever filled with some BMW colors.
If you tak a look, one bottom line of pixels on display is also missing, however one line from the top of the screen is added and it is blank. So basically whole picture is shifted to the bottom for 1 pixel line. It is for all menus.
Once I get my cables I am planning to finally install my CCC.
