NBT EVO retrofit

AmooManiak · 07-15-2020, 02:11 PM

Sorry, not sure what you mean.

I ordered a 6.5" screen mounting bracket form Europe as it looks like the small screen was not avaialble in the U.S. on the F10.

I'm not sure how the other/newer screens are, but the G01 screen is L shaped, so it needs a bracket that has a hole to fit the back.

I was trying to find a solution where the opening in the back is not visible from any angle, which this does.

Can you provide a link or part # for the 6.5" screen mounting bracket?

I dont have the exact part number, but it's this without the screen.

Hands down this is my favorite mod so far on the car because I use it on a daily basis. I had the Bimmertech Android Auto/Apple Carplay on my NBT unit, but this experience with the G01 screen is so much better.

Thanks for sharing. Looks amazing. Do you have link or brand info on the screen (G30). I am assuming this is a 3rd party Navigation system like NBT. Besides buying the OEM screen bracket, did you need anything else (parts list)? Thanks

This is a stock unit from a G01, not aftermarket. Looks and performs just like the video below. Due to quality concerns, I wanted to stick with OEM.

I'm using wirless Apple Carplay 95% of the time.

Hey is there anyway possible you can provide a detailed list of all the parts you had to buy such as head unit and adaptors and such. So far I have purchased the g30 touch screen and thats all I currently have.

So for those who switched to NBT EVO, did you also switch to the KYOCERA display or did some of you use the Voltage Converter method (12v to 9v DC-DC converter on the power wires of the current CID to NBT LVDS cable)? I've got myself a full setup but its from an F13 650i so the screen won't fit as is and I really want to keep the OEM look (don't care about touch). So short of frankensteining the Kyocera LCD panel into an F10 Trim, wondering how ppl have dealt with it.

I run a voltage regulator with a $60 F10 NBT Next display. Just note you need to be running iStep 18-03 or 18-11 or you will run into issues.

What's an NBT NEXT display? NBT displays are all innolux or chimei brands but I know for 2014 or so the internal LCD was updated (probably better backlighting). You are confirming though that it is a 12V to 9V conversion to use NBT EVO head unit with NBT display, right?

NBT Next is the full name for a standard NBT. I use an Amazon voltage regulator to take the 12v output to 8.7v. it is soldered into my display cable.

Hello guys ! I have a 2016 535i with NBT ID4. I am looking to upgrade to ID6. Does anyone know if I can use the screen that I currently have with my ID4, and just replace the head unit, or I have to replace both the screen and the head unit ?

EL Jeffe 5 · 02-24-2021, 10:51 AM

Guy on YouTube retrofitted his for $500 everything works perfect including CarPlay

spielnicht · 02-24-2021, 11:00 AM

You can keep your current screen - it just won't support touch interactions.

Anyone fit the G11(7 series) screen on the F10? If so, what mods were needed?

Pierre Louis · 03-02-2021, 05:09 AM

I've been researching a bit and still don't see any mention of whether the optional heads-up display function works with the new Apple Carplay installations. No mention. Zip. Nada.

NBT Evo will never display HUD info from anything other than BMW nav. AA/Carplay integration into HUD requires MGU (AKA iDrive 7)

Jartsa · 05-21-2021, 07:54 AM

Can someone post details how to secure g30 screen to f10 dash? Did you VO code the evo unit? I can generate vo coding fixes etc if needed...

So no media info (i.e. tracks) either?

You can find some great units for $500

Jartsa · 05-27-2021, 11:57 AM

Anyone did this retrofit to a f10 or f01 which has bang & olufsen sound system? How did you code it?
