RTTI Real Time Traffic Information and BMW Online services

Bimmer Retrofit is proud to present RTTI Real Time Traffic Information and BMW Online services for all BMW NBT owners.
This is a new and cool feature which will give ability to see Real Time Traffic Information, as well as some additional features, if you have an NBT head unit (installed from factory or retrofitted).

Two packages are available:

Package 1:
• RTTI – Real Time Traffic Information
• BMW Online (News, Weather)
• Internet
• SOS (Emergency Call)

This package will include telematics unit and wiring kit. In the future, additional services will be added.
*You will be required to have your own GSM SIM card with data plan from your local cellular provider.


Package 2:
• RTTI – Real Time Traffic Information
• BMW Online (News, Weather)
• Internet

No additional hardware is required. These features will made available via your own cellular phone with data plan. You will need to pair your BT phone and share data connection with NBT.

This retrofit is available for all E series equipped with NBT head unit and eNBT Retrofit Adapter and for all F series equipped with NBT head unit. In both packages your own data plan connection will be used. The approximate usage will depend on many factors but normally stays at around 500MB per month for an average user. At this time we offer this retrofit to all of our NBT retrofit kit customers (NBT for E and F series). Currently available in Canada and USA only for beta testing. Special conditions apply.

For any questions about this retrofit, please contact us:info@bimmerretrofit.com

If I have my own NBT head unit, what do I need from you to get RTTI working via option #2?

Last time I asked them they said the NBT unit needs to be purchased from them, even though I have their eNBT adapter.

I'm guessing it requires some combination of coding options, FSC code activation and/or VIN change of the head unit to allow for data to transmit via BT tether.

EDIT: After digging around some more, it looks like they could be coding or modifying firmware of the NBT to contact one of their own servers which somehow spoofs an "authentic" request to BMW servers for the RTTI data, then relays it back to the NBT. So in other words not something that is easily provided to NBTs sourced elsewhere.

Hello everyone!
Bimmer Retrofit is currently looking for a few beta testers of the RTTI service (Real Time Traffic Information) via BT phone data tethering in Europe, USA and Canada.

Pre-requisites:

• NBT head unit (Standard or European version, no SDARS or HD radio built-in)
• No TCB installed in the vehicle or TCB must be disconnected for the beta test period
• E or F series models. In case of E series NBT it must have eNBT Retrofit Adapter from Bimmer Retrofit

Beta test period is 6 month. No special coding tools or skills are required to activate the service.

For all information please contact our technical support team directly at: support@bimmerretrofit.com with RTTI Beta Test in subject line.

Our Christmas and New Year special is coming soon

No, sorry. At this time we only offer RTTI activation for NBT navigation units.

Yes, that is possible if you have a CIC ( option 609) + Combox Telematics (option 633) + one time ConnectedDrive activation (6AK)

You can replace the combox media with a combox telematics which has an active ConnectedDrive subscription
