    OEM Radio

    I have 2011 750. My factory radio does not show info like newer radios, graphics are dull. Is there an update or upgrade that can be accomplished to make it better.
    I did not see in any archived notes.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Not sure what you mean, if the graphics are 'dull' maybe the monitor backlight has given up ? an exchange to a known working one might be the answer.

    If it's not that, what do you mean that it's 'dull' and want to make it 'better' ? To get the information that's on newer BMW's you'll need to check the section here for you car F01/2? and see if anyone has upgraded the oem modules for the latest BMW modules to work in an older car.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    Dennis,
    I was trying to say, the new radios have better graphics and are sharper. I was driving a loaner 2019, the radio shows artist, names etc.... a picture of artist or album. Mine dont even show song name. just station number. Unless I am stupid and dont have it set right.

    Thanks

    I can’t believe a 2011 BMW 7 series head unit doesn’t display that info. Something isn’t set right.

    Hi Marco,
    I have gone through all the displays and reset buttons and information. Unable to find the display of song or artist information. I must be missing something??


    Thanks

    What does the owners manual say? Have you contacted the BMW Genius or other resource?
