I have a trailer with BMV-710 installed on the trailer wall. I’d like bluetooth but don’t have room/depth for the available dongle connector. If I purchase a BMV-712 it appears they are exactly the same size (ie different mounting hole size not needed). My question is whether the 500A shunt is the same and well as the cord that connects the shunt and the display? If so, I think I could just put the new display in (assuming shunt, hole size, and connecting wire/connectors on both ends are the same)? Can anybody confirm this? This would mean the install for me would be easy (just swap out displays). Thank you.
As far as I know the PCB on the shunt is a bit different, so you should also exchange the shunt.
Thank you Matthias. So I’d change the display and shunt… do you think the cable connecting the 2 is the same between these models? I ask because the 710 is already wired and I’m hoping I can reuse that cable.
