This restoration/repair service primarily involves replacing the LCD ribbon cable, which connects the PCB to the LCD. Over time, this weak point can cause missing or faded pixels on the information display. I prefer to use the original LCDs, as they provide the best performance. However, in some cases the LCD must be replaced if it is delaminating or the contact pads are deteriorating.
Repairs include:
- New Ribbon Cable
- Repairing the front button PCB if buttons don't respond
- Replacing the 12 backlight min bulbs if 1996-1999 MID
- Servicing the Volume Adjuster if needed
- Detailing and cleaning of face, buttons.
Models Affected:
(1996-2003) E39 525i 528i 530i 540i M5
(1999-2006) E53 3.0i 4.4i 4.6is 4.8is X5
Special Considerations
- Previously opened or repaired MIDs may incur additional charges if mailed in with damaged or missing parts. The most common ones are warped aluminum brackets or missing pink pressure strips. These components are essential for a long-lasting repair and can be difficult to obtain.
- Replacement LCD's are available when necessary for $50.
- Rubber Volume Knobs are extra when available.
Lifetime Warranty
This service includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Coverage remains valid for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle, guaranteeing all replaced parts and workmanship.

Quality & Final Inspection
My goal is to return your part in the best possible condition. Internals are cleaned of debris, and the unit is thoroughly cleaned again before reassembly. I strive to deliver an enthusiast-grade repair.

Before sending in my radio display, more pixels were dead than working. Using the radio's functionality was very limited and frustrating. After reinstalling the radio after BavTek's repair, it works like new - the difference is remarkable! The pricing was reasonable, about the same as getting a used unit in unknown condition, but since my unit was repaired instead of replaced there was no part fitment/compatibility concern and I can rest easy with the provided warrantee. The only portion of the experience I would want to be approved is knowing more of whats going on with my unit. Receiving a confirmation that my unit was received and is in the repair queue would be a nice QoL improvement if it's feasible to implement.
Working perfectly. Great service!
Display was repaired and cleaned to function and look like new. Quick turn around time. Great job!
Fixed right, quick turn-around. Glad to have this service available and certainly would use again.
Exceptional quality and repair at a very fair price!
