The bordmonitor is taken apart, and the CD/Tape unit is removed, the motherboard is removed, inside the door the LCD controler is removed, and the flexible flat cable interconnecting the two boards.

After that the D650 is taken apart. Units used are the LCD panel with controller (but without the touch panel), and the mother board.

I had a DVD inslot drive with USB interface from another monitor already. A CID650. 

Apart from that my own dash pcb, button interface and LED strips are used.

The mechanics of the motor and the sensors for the door.

 

 
The sensor pcb contains two end position detectors and one position detector

The buttoninterface pcb's

I have replaced the main pcb in the BM house with these two button interface pcb's below the BMW button boards.

 

Inserting the LCD panel with controller


Here is the room that the N52 LCD controller will go into. Turns out it was not big enough..


The LCD panel is slightly wider than original, so some room has to be made

     
The LCD panel glued in place

  
Unfortunately I removed the screw holes previously. The bracket is cut in two, and main part removed

 
Tap and glue


Everything in place, including the LCD controller

Height has to be reduced for the DVD to fit. (orange circles)

 

The connector for the VGA cable is exchanged for angled model


Prolonged flatflexi. Screen working!

DVD drive Assembly

 

Remove stud and glue pcb geider and 9V battery clip to hold DVD.


To make it easier to assemble a proper hole is made in the front. It had to be changed anyway.

The plate to cover the hole


Cardboard prototypes for front and pcb. The DVD is held by subframe and nylon bushings. 

I order to assemble the DVD drive I've made a small rubber piece out of an ice-hockey puck.

 

As you can see the 9V battery holder is a perfect guide for the DVD. 

Originally, before I got this handy USB to slim DVD interface, I made the rubber bits to hold the DVD in its old interface pcb to the back wall. Now I just took one of them since they holds a nut so it is easy to mount, and they were a perfect distance so that the DVD would not get pushed too far into the Bordmonitor.

I then put some hot clue on the 9V battery holder, cable exit and the DVD bezel.

Here DVD is in place. Not screws for mainboard, cable for eject button, and the 9V battery holder in the back.

Connect the DVD

This is how to connect the DVD USB so that it can be connected externally. (I do not want to turn off the DVD when the monitor goes off) Bare in mind that the DVD is 2A in 5V and cannot be powered by USB 5V.

 

The white and red is the data+ and data- from the USB connector, and the solid red and black is 5V from external DC/DC converter.
