How To Install BimmerTech NBT Evo ID5/ID6 in Your BMW F30

[@lindabenton1436]

Can the same procedure be done on a BMW F20?

[@bimmer-tech]

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!

@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.

[@emmettlachlan9770]

@Luis Roland it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@kingcobra3854]

This adds wireless carplay?!? Nice!!!

[@incartechie]

Great installation video - we follow this over here in the UK for our clients!

[@brianfortenberry1012]

I have got to have this!!!

[@Rspzct]

Do I need to have my aux plugged in for this to hear sound? Or does this retrofit automatically come with Bluetooth which you can hear sound

[@bimmer-tech]

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.

[@victorchike7750]

My F30 comes with ID5 without Bluetooth, does doing this give me Bluetooth functionality?

[@bimmer-tech]

You probably have the Entry Nav system. With NBT you'll have BT connectivity :)

[@Bonbloc]

Hi. Does this include android auto? Also is this oem bmw? Or an aftermarket kit. And what would be the difference with oem if its not?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi, this is OEM kit. It doesn't include Android Auto.

[@graveborne8724]

Great video. I need this upgrade on my F31

[@bimmer-tech]

Feel free to order it :D

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

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey! Was it our Id5/Id6 unit you can't get working?

[@enginharman8594]

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?

[@bimmer-tech]

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.

[@ElleYew]

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

[@bimmer-tech]

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.

[@ronhudson2354]

Can you please do a video of how to fit the android 8.8 screen from scratch including trim removal in the 2014/5 BMW 2 series Active tourer.

[@bimmer-tech]

Once we have that car available we'll put it on our list :)

[@raibred]

Beautiful intro

[@NikhilTikare]

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

[@bimmer-tech]

The chimes goes through head unit, so yes, it changed with ID6 system :)

[@thierrycoudray295]

Bonjour, vendez vous seulement le cablage avec la connection oabr intégré ainsi que le gps et la wifi/ bluetooth?

[@tristan3357]

Does it need to connect to WiFi or does it have that?

[@iNFiNiTE69]

Am i able to keep my existing microphones for hands free calling? They currently run to the trunk combox

[@bimmer-tech]

Yep, you can :)

[@alvaro1768]

Hi question. I have f30 340i with EVO ID5 but i want to upgrade to ID6 do I have to do the same thing or is there a software I can download?

[@bimmer-tech]

The software update will do the job :)

[@TankGameris]

Its a same like change cic to nbt evo id5?

[@bimmer-tech]

What do you mean?

[@tauzins]

but this doesnt worked with connecteddrive right? i would lose my 3g/app access?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hello Jonathan, you'll lose the access to remote services and BMW assist.

[@xx--007-6]

The CIC CAN bus signal is CAN1 and the NBT CAN bus signal is CAN2, right? Is it not necessary to convert to 4SK/8SK CAN2 compatible ZGW?

[@bimmer-tech]

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

[@chrismorris5548]

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.

[@bimmer-tech]

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.

[@jehadbazarbachi2097]

With this nbt evo installation can i install MMI for android auto ?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes, you absolutely can!

[@jehadbazarbachi2097]

@bimmer-tech yesss, perfecttt will be doing that setup, once my bmw comes.

[@camel070]

Hi do you get any error codes after installation?

[@bimmer-tech]

No error codes whatsoever :)

[@Baerserker26]

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?

[@bimmer-tech]

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.

[@oneman7638]

I only want to be able to screen mirror my phone for the back screens of my 2015 F86 X6M, is this just a coding retrofit?

[@bimmer-tech]

Mirroring to back screens is not possible with NBT Evo. In fact we don't have this kind of service at all.

[@anitanaylah3543]

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?

[@bimmer-tech]

If you’d like to have the service history copied onto the NBT EVO Head Unit we can do it for you during a remote session with our technician.

[@atkey1000]

What year and model is this car? I am curious why it does not have a green fiber optic.

[@bimmer-tech]

It is a 2015 328I.

[@jamestracey6167]

How difficult is the coding of the NBT? I currently have the navigation stock idrive unit installed? is it simply a plug and play? thanks

[@bimmer-tech]

Anytime coding is required with any of our retrofits a remote coding session is included in the price so you don't have to worry about it.

[@BlackEagleGermany]

All the features?! I miss BMW connected drive services: BMW online, browser and weather etc…

[@bimmer-tech]

BMW connected services are controlled only by BMW, if you don't have them, you should reach out to your dealer.

[@marianodiaz461]

Hi how much it will cost me to change my 2016 X5 from NBT to NBT Evo?

[@bimmer-tech]

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.

[@redendo1000]

Does this retrofit work with a CIC idrive without combox?

[@bimmer-tech]

Sure. But the best way to confirm exactly what you'll need for your vehicle is to email your VIN to our team at [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@omairkhalidmirza]

At 10:58 What does the small 20 pin connector do ??

[@bimmer-tech]

That is the OABR connector (OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach) and it is used for data transmission via ethernet.

What do you charge for this install? I live in SW Florida, so I could just drive up to you. Thanks!

why do u use a gps isn't it in the car standard (are you stil able to use the bow connected app or the my bmw?)

This is an NBT Evo ID5/6 navigation retrofit. That's why we use gps. It's not a standard.

[@mscuttari]

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?

No, the data will be saved.

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

On some cars it's needed, on others not. We'd have to know your VIN to tell for sure. Please send us its last 7 digits and we'll check.

What brand is the gps antenna?

Hello, the GPS antenna is our product and it can be purchased only through BimmerTech, as the cables are produced specifically for us.

Hi, do you know if all functions will work after conversion from CIC to NBT EVO like HUD, PDC, and surround-view?

Hi, HUD PDC and surround view will continue to work. If you have anything like remote services or BMW Assist- you will lose them unfortunately.
