Retrofit NBT EVO in F31 LCI

omglol · 07-08-2017, 02:24 AM

Hello!

I've read various threads regarding NBT retrofit in F3x cars, but all of them seem to be for pre LCI cars. I have 2016 F31 (european) with Professional Navigation. What parts do I need to retrofit NBT EVO? Also, is it possible to just upgrade the LCD to 8.8inch for beginning, and later proceed with full NBT EVO upgrade? Many thanks in advance!

You need a head unit and screen. I would think bimmertech could help you since you are in Europe. Bimmercoders might be able to help but I think they mostly do North American retrofits. Either way, you'll have to get it coded.

Also not too familiar with European packages, but I would think since you have a 2016, you have an nbt evo head unit that runs idrive 4 with 2gb memory instead of the 4gb memory in the late 2016 and up models. Is your screen not a 8.8 inch currently?

No, it has EntryNAV. However, reading threads here, I see that 8.8" screen should work with EntryNAV. However, in the future, I would also like to upgrade to NBT. I read somewhere that iDrive 6.0 has touchscreen, is this true for F3x? I can't seem to find any on eBay.
