E9x NBT EVO Touch Screen RetroFIT INSTALL: OEM PLUS

[@markhutchens4944]

The Einstein of E series! Been watching for nearly 5 years. So glad to see you putting out great new content. I have thought about this retrofit for years (in my 335) but never knew it was possible - with a touch screen!. Amazing to see it happening. 👏🏻

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks for the kind words man! Wow when you say it out loud it’s crazy. July/August 2019 I got this lovely vehicle. What a ride it’s taken me on. Yes It’s an expensive retro fit, but I think worth it for sure on the keeper cars.

[@BMW1M]

Nice to see you back making videos mate 👍 Looking forward to seeing this build progress!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You and me both! I need to get things under control a bit more and get back to vids...... Mind you once i can drive again my priorities will no doubt focus much more on getting out to events than current times.

[@kenvanbuskirk7034]

Its fantastic to see you with your passion restored for the E9x platform as well as just to see that your life looks to be heading in a positive direction (hopefully) again. Stick with it things do workout for good people it just takes a bit of time and conversely things catch up with A..holes TOO !!! Sometimes it just takes a little patience for it to happen.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thank you very much!

[@friguy4444]

Very cool. You're quite the man Andrew. The fact that you share everything including the struggles and troubles is what makes you so personable. Thanks! Hoping for more soon!

[@TIPh0enix]

Couldn't help but laugh when the brake warning came on and you said "It doesn't have any brakes at the moment." 🤣🤣🤣

Its a thing right..... happens to every BMW owner being investigated by QPS.... the brakes just disapear...

Love your channel and content, Andrew! I think I speak on behalf of all the followers when I say that the way you improve on the E9X platform and modernise it is an inspiration. Your attention to detail is amazing. Proper purist OEM+ E9X build this, and proof that even non-M BMW's can feel special and premium. Two thumbs up!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I appreciate that!

Very nice stuff Andrew. Great job, too. Have a good one. Cheers, Nico.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks, you too!

[@bradchenoweth7584]

I never even knew this upgrade was an option. Looks like a huge pita though. I've been sitting on an android head unit for awhile myself. Trying to figure out how to run the aux in a way that not janky. Your new setup looks much more worth while though. I love seeing all the retrofitted stuff man. Your E92 is going to be pretty bad ass when its done. Your car is turning out to be some pretty serious inspiration for my build. Keep it up man, cant wait to see more.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks for the kind words. This infotainment is next level. Huge pain to work out yourself, but if you get a full kit, its not hardner than a android install. Problem is the cost. However if the car is a keeper, i think worth every cent.

[@dylantrinderBMW]

All coming together, Great work bro !!!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Appreciate it

[@kencooper8636]

The NBT system looks and sounds great Andrew. Massive improvement on the OEM system like I have. The echoing issue when making a phone call wouldn't be because both the phone mic and car mic are picking up your voice. Another great video.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

No its to do with how the amp processes sound and then how the Unit listens to the sound in the car. I think its just amp runs a small delay that the NBT isnt looking for. So it thinks the sound is the person in the car speaking, not the speakers,.

[@loekfelten548]

Good to see you in action (again). License back in 2 months ? Your drivers-license ?😳

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Yes….. 4 months down 2 to go.

[@MKRN98]

Damn! I wanted to do the NBT EVO retrofit too but after finding out how much I had to do to do that, I gave up and went with CIC xD I mean, CIC with Combox retrofit it fine too for the most part but now I also want to do NBT EVO retrofit again lol, I'll look into it again

A proper tech video once again. What are your thoughts on the new DI delete kit from Nexsysmotorsports? I am having some real trouble shooting issues with Motiv on their Reflex system!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It should be legit. I have one on the way as i do want to try it for myself.

[@edwardwerley8831]

Yes agreed. Just think with the rising cost of the injectors and if you already have some of the supporting mods it’s a no brainer…at 500+whp you shouldn’t care about gas mileage lol. Will you be making a video? Not sure but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of videos out yet!

Hi you are legend !!! Retrofitting NBT to E series ! Mind if i asking can you do remote retrofitting and ship the kit worldwide ? cheers

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

not something i can do sorry. however bimmertech should be able to help

[@808-HISTATE]

Aloha, Love your kids! I e been a fan for a while & watched all of your vids. Are you ever going to make anymore N54 tee-shirts?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Maybe. Maybe, they are still available on Teespring if you are in the states. But nothing in Aus at the moment. Where are you located?

[@TrackItYT]

I’m doing this at the moment. The NBT evo ID 4 has GPS port from factory and 2 GB ram. Id5/6 didn’t face GPS factory and used an ATM for GPS signal. A GPS plug can be added to these later ones. The ID can be updated to id5/6 firmware 1803 which supports Apix1 screens (ID 4 screen)

[@TrackItYT]

Couple of questions if I can. How is that lovely touch controller mounted to the CIC centre console trim. What have you done with the DAB antennas and the lack of FM2 in the car. Happy to share the guide/wiring diagrams I’ve done.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Hey Mate, i used a file to get the controller in place. The NBT controller was only slightly larger than the CIC. I then used the original CIC controller mounting screws locations with large washers and holds the NBT controller perfectly. I do not have DAB antennas. Only FM. Tbh i never listen to radio. So didnt bother even looking in to the DAB setup.

[@anthonyricci1205]

Some iD5 and iD6 head units did actually come with GPS and DAB built in, but they are less common to find and are reliably more expensive than the ones without.

[@TrackItYT]

@@ZeroTo60Tube just done this today, Fakra splitter for FM antenna and generic DAB antenna worked well. Block I've hit is getting the faceplate. Mind if I asked whether you secured the HU in the cage and whether you had to drill the HU for the faceplate panel to pop in correctly. Final hurdle!

[@craigbrett672]

I am doing this same retrofit in my E70 - I want to install a touch screen into the original housing - can you leaborate on the screen used in your housing please?

[@larssoyland7079]

What about retrofitting HUD? Possible to use from e6x maybe? Would be cool😎

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Ill look in to that. Not something i would do, but im curious how the HUD from an e series can be driven from a NBT EVO unit.

[@sapunulbobsapunulbob7831]

If you've got the Logic 7 amp system you can update the amp using WinKFP to the latest software so that the NBT unit will be able to communicate with it on the MOST network. I've ran into this issue myself and the software update solved it.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

So that fixes the echo while on calls?

[@bmretrofitz]

perhaps for NBT but defs not EVO. Only the Harmon Becker F series Amps have the right firmware to support the EVO phone command on MOST bus to disable processing (and stop the echo delay for callers). Only the NBT EVO has the delay issue, NBT units still provided the old command to E series amps to disable the delay in processing.

[@NickGorkes]

@@ZeroTo60Tube You must fit a Harman Becker manufactured F series Logic 7 amp or Bowers & Wilkins amp to fix the call echo while fitting an EVO into a E series car.

[@sapunulbobsapunulbob7831]

I have the first NBT model, not the EVO, mine had no sound at all, so had to update the firmware on the amp to fix that issue. I have no echo during calls.

[@jakechanning2065]

We’re in sync with out mods😂 , i last did nbt evo & m4 Seats in my e82, how nice of a place does it make inside of the car with these upgrades!?

Could you tell, what selector bracket you have there? Is it from dct gearbox or an x1?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

this is just a e9c DCT shifter and trim

[@qx4n9e1xp]

I put in an Xtrons in my 1er, and although I love the screen quality and responsiveness, I am not impressed by the software at all, or the wifi. Wifi downloads are ULTRA slow, even with the included antenna plugged in. 500mb takes 4 hours to download, but just times out before that, so I gave up on downloading offline maps. The features on the unit are also very limited. Calls don't work (ear-murdering static) and bluetooth cuts off sometimes. And recently, my amp relay went out, which I'm still troubleshooting, so hopefully it's not related to the Android unit. Overall, the sound system, not the powertrain, has been the MOST FRUSTRATING thing with this car for me 😅 Maybe I'll try this nbt retrofit next! I love listing to the engine & turbo noises when driving, but I also want music & podcasts sometimes.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Hmmm thats annoying with the sound system for you so far. While i think NBT EVO is by far the best. I dont think its going to help with the amp issuse. It will help with the phone calls tho. The noise cancelling in the NBT EVO is next level. It makes people think you are in a house. Not driving in a car.

[@teangawarumatetaka6125]

Surely we're gonna be seeing the JMC single again. On a serious note though, do you guys in OZ have to pay horrendous import duty costs ? Here in NZ, i may have to pay 5k nzd just so a JMC kit to clear customs.

Question, do you know anyone who's swapped a Barra engine in a E9X platform? I hope I said that wrong. I've seen other kids that people swap that engine into a lot of cars. If so, how hard and expensive would it be to buy and ship to Hawaii or the US Mainland? Please lmk if you know. Mahaloz!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I know it’s been done. However I’d imagine it’s horrifically expensive. If you are trying to make 700-800hp the n54 will be cheaper. If you are aiming for 800-1000hp a b58 will be cheaper. It’s the 1500hp builds where the Barra makes sense.

I havent tried but i know with BMRetrofits software on the NBT EVO it does full android auto as well. I didnt get in to it in the video. But its basically the 2024 software from BMW, but with the android auto and carplay all activated. Unfortunately those activation licenses do cost a fair bit. Well i see people charging $400us for carplay activation.
