Bmw e70 rear entertainment dvd screen

[Mflara420]

Hello, I own a 2010 bmw x5 48i and when I bought the vehicle it came with the rear dvd screen broken. I want to know where can I buy just the screen or lcd screen.
Thanks

Thanks. It's expensive for a 6 inch lcd screen.

My X5 has the rear entertainment screen and the entire family absolutely hates it. It has never been used and the screen is always in the way of something...mainly elbows. My wife keeps telling me to get it out of the truck. I politely stall.

So, would you use yours?

I have a 1 year old daughter and I'll come useful if it would work. No I have never used it, since I got the car it never worked.

Try eBay, there are a few there. Assuming all you need is the screen, there's one complete unit there for $276 with cut cables, (you won't need these cables if you disassemble the unit and swap the screen.)

I had the rear entertainment added to my package when I ordered my X5. My kids watched movies couple of times then stop using it. For me money was not well spend on this. Mount an iPad would be better.

If you can get a video to play on the damn thing it will be worth the hassle. My husband constantly cries about bashing his elbows on it. I have done it once.

The DVD only likes playing burned DVDs and some music concerts. I have literally dicked around with this damn thing with over 50 store bought titles and I'd say 45 of them didn't play.

I understand wanting everything to work in your car but I have a feeling the screen was broken by the previous owners frustration in the lack of the unit actually playing a DVD.

Just my $.02
