Today, we're replacing the LCD on my E53 X5 instrument cluster to remedy the oh-so-common dead pixel issue. If you're like me, you'll find it super annoying not being able to read the display with your consumption and range of gas etc, so this had to be the first repair we did on the X5. It also happens to be a simple weekend project that you can also do at home too!

Currently working on tearing this down - for anyone wondering: The screws that hold the box with the screen itself to the board are T8 (Torx)

I wish I could do this but I need to fix the steering first to get the cluster out. It's completely stuck and I'm not smart enough to figure out the electricals. I also dont trust myself drilling into the cluster 😂 Awesome video though

I used what looks to be exactly the same display, except mine came from Aliexpress. Every pixel works but it's dimmer than the OE display, wich yours also appears to be, it looks like they put on a darker film on top of the display. Doesnt bother me much though, you can still see it.

Good job. I have 2001 E53 X5 3.0i with 230K miles. There are some missing dots in radio display panel. Unfortunately they are located in Clock display area. hopefully someone comes up low cost fix solution.

I really wish you wouldn't have time lapsed over the reassembly part after sticking the display cable.

I tryed to do my factory radio. On my e39. Big fail. I think my eyes are just too crap to get the ribbon lined up. Gave me a excuse to get an xtrons so no big loss

@savvasss2304 2 года назад

@@TheBimmerBarn Thanks! So i would be able to code from the inside with carly or only with the other tools? And if i have the adapter from obd to obd2 can i just Code it from the 20 pin with carly?

@TheBimmerBarn 2 года назад

@@savvasss2304 Any scanner or coding tool should work, or if you get the adapter that should work too. Good luck!

@savvasss2304 2 года назад

Hey i bought an adapter and now i get access only in 2 modules with carly.. is that normal? Is there other ways i can do coding? Thanks

That radio LCD still missing a lot of letters

@TheBimmerBarn 2 года назад

Yeah! It's just a little harder to find that radio lcd replacement. Might end up replacing the radio altogether with an android head unit for more functionality. Thanks for watching!

@aombarbor 2 года назад

@@TheBimmerBarn Didn't expect the reply but yeah i am having a hard to finding LCD replacement for my e90 too. I'm still deciding on Android unit or little bluetoorh dongle
