Swapping the front screen on Mk4 Nav from tape to CD version

Please can someone tell me if it is possible to swap the screen from an e46 widescreen Mk4 tape version to the CD version?

The reason is because the screen on my CD version is scratched and I can pick up a tape version easily on ebay.

If it is possible please can someone give me the instructions on how to do it?

Many thanks in advance.

MK

doesnt it depend on the car? I have an e46 with MKIV nav and have a CD player behind the screen...


BTW, the screen is detachable, right? I think you can replace just the screen...

Yes, perfectly possible.
The E46 was available as Tape and CD.

Simply remove lid, remove complete screen and swap over
Then reassemble.
Not hard.

If you have an e46, its a piece of cake. BMW made a factory Nav for our cars with CD.

FOr $800 this is a 5 minute swap to get you a CD player:

BTW... My CD / Nav unit is from a 2006 and it doesn't play MP3s... Yet my business CD from 2006 does in my other car... so apparently the Nav didn't get the MP3 capable upgrade... Not sure if anyone can confirm this...

looks like it comes with casette, CD and mini disk
