My first major upgrade on the F30 BMW! Not having Apple CarPlay was a major disappointment but there is a fix! I had Easy Bimmer Coding (easybimmercoding.com) Flash my NBT 4 EVO Head unit with iDrive 4 to iDrive 6 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This bypasses the need to regularly update the maps as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto use the regularly updated maps on your phone. There are reports of NBT 4 Evo head units running iDrive 6 having issues randomly rebooting (due to only having 2MB of RAM) but these are only when using the factory navigation on particularly long trips and these issues do not occur when using the CarPlay navigation.
Tools and Products for my F30:
Ethernet Cable - amzn.to/3zUZNoS
WiFi Antenna for F30 (for Apple CarPlay) - amzn.to/3JSdn0G
Laptop Adapter (USB-C) - amzn.to/3JVUXfq
iPhone Adapter - amzn.to/3JQY5JK
Black F30 Kidney Grills - amzn.to/3pip9In
BMW Floating Center Caps: amzn.to/3wNTPFm

hi, does this affect the digital service history?

@jetk247 Год назад

Any long term update? Does this work well?

@jdc9199 Год назад

Question, when using factory maps on the dash you get that arrow signalling you when to turn when you use the CarPlay maps is this feature active still or only on factory maps as I really do think that is a good feature

@Akac3sh Год назад

Looks great doing this soon

@BMWE90HQ Год назад

It’s great to have CarPlay I highly recommend this upgrade!

Does it glitch?

Hi Will, What did you use to charge the battery? I need to update my unit and those power supplies/chargers are so expensive.

Update with the car on

@connormundey7336 Год назад

I've been confused for months how to figure out if it's possible to upgrade my 2017 320i to this. I don't have navigation built in and I think I have iDrive 4...none of the coding websites really seem to make sense or specify what requirements you need to make upgrades like this...? Does anyone know?

Did you ever figure it out?

@Saauuullll 5 месяцев назад

If your car is 2017 then I think you do have the evo id4 head unit

@dexterdog2457 Год назад

I am going to ask a stupid question, this flash package is made by Easy Bimmer Coding, correct? If Easy Bimmer Coding can do it, why does BMW claims they cannot upgrade the iDrive? I am just concerned it a is a hacked version (or something) of the original code and am worried about glitches, etc. There are several providers for this upgrade at different price points, so I am trying to get a handle on that. Thanks,

I believe if you do this flash and decide to use factory nav, the system will eventually crash. This is because the iD6 system has more memory than the iD4. If you just use CarPlay and avoid using iDrive navigation you’ll be fine.

@BMWE90HQ 6 месяцев назад

@coastss is correct!

@sAmiZZle82 Год назад

Are you sure iDrive 6 has Android auto? I thought it only supports CarPlay

@BMWE90HQ Год назад

Easy Bimmer Coding says it supports both and there is an option that says “screen mirroring in android”. I don’t have an android to actually test it out on though.

@sAmiZZle82 Год назад

@@BMWE90HQ ahhh yeah screen mirroring. That's still more than I thought it supported for Android though. Good to know thanks!

@user-vl3ib9vu3w Год назад

does this void the warrantee

@BMWE90HQ Год назад

It would for anything related to the idrive. But my warranty is expired so it is irrelevant on a car with more than a few years on it.

@jasonmorales7206 Год назад

How did you install the wifi antenna

@BMWE90HQ Год назад

It is really easy just pull out the trim and take of the control panel which is held in by a few torx screws then the idrive unit is right behind that held in by a few more torx screws. Then you can pull it out. Without disconnecting anything you should be able to plug in the antenna. Then just put everything back.

Hi, could you please write about your experience after a longer period of time? Any reboots, freezing, lags etc? It will helps me with deciding to flash my HU. Thank you!

@BMWE90HQ 5 месяцев назад

It’s been great I pretty much leave it on Apple CarPlay except to check tire pressure and oil level. No issues at all. It’s been over a year now!

@DedaMrasz 5 месяцев назад

@@BMWE90HQ great, Thank you! I will try it on my head unit 😀

@jaafarf1198 9 месяцев назад

Does it work for 2013+ f30s?

@BMWE90HQ 6 месяцев назад

You need to have iDrive 4 but if you do it should work regardless of the year or model.

@jasonmorales7206 Год назад

How much did it cost?

@BMWE90HQ Год назад

The install was $230 I believe and the hardware was about another $40 but I already had most of that.

@jasonmorales7206 Год назад

@@BMWE90HQ I called bmw they said my 2015 435 is on 3g and that’s why I can’t get any more updates since all carriers have moved to 4g. They told me find a plug and play system and a shop that doesn’t tap into the dme for power. I’m not sure if there’s lots of places that know how to do it correctly so I’m a bit concerned. I’m also concerned it may mess with my heads up display on my windshield
