Hi! Sure, we also offer NBT Evo ID5/6 retrofits for the 1 Series. The installation process is pretty similar to what you see in the video. Exactly what kit you'll need depends on your vehicle's factory iDrive hardware, so if you go to www.bimmer-tech.net/category-nbt-evo-id5-id6-navigation-system-retrofit and identify your car with your VIN, you'll see pricing and other details about the kit for your specific vehicle. Thanks!
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Luis Roland i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video! QQ on an F33: I've done a complete install from ID4 to ID6 and wanted to know if your BimmerTech kit doesn't come with a magnetic GPS antenna (I received the wire coming from the blue port on the HU) but have no idea where the other end attaches. I'm assuming the car's stock antenna? Thanks a mil
Thanks a lot :) This depends on the car’s configuration. If your kit came with an extension for the GPS you will most probably have to connect it to a **cable** that used to connect into the Telecommunication modules in the back of the car - in your case most probably the TCB.
Hi I have just upgraded my Mini Cooper F54 NBT entrynav With the same unit with id6 and touch screen All seem to work ok except I have no sound Some said I may need rot change some cable Is this what the plug and play quod lock is for
NBT EVO retrofits come with WiFi and BlueTooth antennas as well as CarPlay activated so you can use it to listen to music wirelessly through Spotify or any other music app that works with CarPlay.
does it change the chime to the newer chime that comes with the iDrive 6 system? the newer chime comes in like 2017/2018 BMWs, the older chime sounds a bit ugly
Couldn't you theoretically use the car's GPS and Bluetooth antenna? Or do you have to attach these two extra antennas in any case? And what about existing reversing cameras?
Whether you have to add an antenna or not depends on your vehicle specs. When you enter your VIN on the product page you'll see if it's necessary for your vehicle.
Hi - i have an 03/2015 F31. Is the gps antenna necessary for cars already installed with sat nav S606/S658/S698. Also why is BMW assist no longer available after the install? If I want to retain BMW assist am I better off with the MMI Prime?
Hey there! When retrofitting to the NBT EVO ID5/6 the GPS antenna is always necessary, from the beginning of 2021 BMW stopped supporting the BMW assist for 2016 and newer vehicles, so yeah if you would like to keep that service in your car but still get CarPlay and Android Auto then the MMI would be a great addition to it.
No CAN1 or CAN2 are not specifically for CIC or NBT head units. If you are interested in some coding for the ZGW we can help, please contact our sales team with your car’s VIN and they will be able to give you more details, you can do it by clicking the following link: www.bimmer-tech.net/page-contact
Does the NBT EVO come with an ATM module or is that not needed? Also, what is the extra quad lock cable for? I’ve been doing research and no one else uses an extra quad lock cable. I have 2016 F30 with NBT entrynav.
When it comes to the ATM module this depends on the head unit. Some of the retrofits come with the ATM module as a part of the kit, while the other ones will come without it. Both of the kits will work the same, there is no difference on the user’s side. As for the quadlock connector, this purely depends on the car’s factory configuration and the kit you order.
I would like to do this, I have the normal nbt would like to upgrade, my question is will my service history on Idrive be deleted? Is it possible to put it back?
For your vehicle it may be for $2400 but you'd have to make sure by decoding your VIN here: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-nbt-evo-id5-id6-navigation-system-retrofit The price is dependent on vehicle's specifications.
Does changing the headunit lead to loss of the previously registered maintenances done by BMW (oil change, etc.)? Or are those data saved in a separate location?
Please send the last 7 characters of your VIN to info@bimmer-tech.net and we'll check the exact cost for your vehicle. We offer free worldwide shipping.
is there a need to have a connection going from the harness to the USB port underneath the armrest to get audio with this unit? i have seen this is the case with some other MMI boxes on the market. I have a 2018 F30 NBT EVO
Hi! yes, if you changed your head unit there will be some coding necessary however your VIN will be linked to the head unit it came with from the factory.
