Thanks mashman ! I have another question. How can i secure the nbt with screws ? The mounting points dont match ! I also cant install the faceplate because the metal pins that attach to the console are blocked by the nbt frame. How did you guys do it ?
EDIT: I have just put it in without screws. I don't know if it is ok. Also is it normal for the NBT to never actually power completely off. In the morning my NBT was instantly on (there was no boot animation) ? Doesn't that mean that the car doesn't go to sleep and that I will have battery drain issues ?

well, after 3 years my retrofitted head unit started playing up: doesn't talk to iDrive, stuck in one position, no audio signals, etc. The screen is functional, the iDrive is still good too. So I am thinking about replacing just the head unit with the emulator (Evo version maybe?). Any leads in Australia? I am aware of Canadian and Romanian options. Was hoping for a closer option, ideally with installation.

The emulator needed to run the NBT on the E series comes from either the Canadian or Romanian vendors you mention above You need the emulator for the NBT HU model you pick (ie standard NBT emulator wont work with a EVO NBT HU) If you already have the emulator then replace your NBT HU with the same model, unless you are happy to buy a new emulator for $700+ Hope this helps |

Not sure tbh. I am certain the emulator from Romania does not. The emulator from Canada on the other hand needs to be registered and activated by the seller. I think they use your vin to do this

How do NBT guys like the upgrade? I have factory CIC, would it be worth it for me to retrofit NBT? Really the only functionality I'm missing is Bluetooth Audio and I have a combox sitting for the retrofit. CIC + combox should have the basic functionality of NBT, correct? Plus I somewhat prefer the UI of CIC... Although I wouldn't mind the updated LCD of the NBT. I also prefer the bulky NBT controller but don't like that I have to file my trim... Decisions decisions
How about any issues with updating Navigation Maps? I am currently having issues updating CIC maps but I believe that to be a firmware issue (and should be resolved with an I-Level update). Any complications getting new map data loaded through the emulator? Does the glovebox/armrest USB still function?

I want to do this on my e82 with CIC. I want genuine remote start, which doesn't come in iDrive 6 or the ConnectedDrive Store, yet. Car play is a nice addition! For me its about figuring out how to do both the head unit and upgrade my 2G chip. If I can have 5G, I will.

Hello, i have individual audio system, rear camera from E70, bluetooth after replacing the CIC to NBT unit, did you need to replace other modules to work like bluetooth, amplifier and the module for the rear camera to work? Because I have acquaintances who say that after this retrofit I will also have to change the parts I mentioned.
