Newbie Need help in coding

al2813 · 11-10-2014, 03:52 PM

I posted a message in the UK forum, but thought I'd try here as well

I very recently changed my company car to a BMW 520D from May 2013 (my first Bimmer and I love it!!!). It has the NBT Navi Professional but lacks the "extended bluetooth" option and the connected drive. I just got my ordered iphone 6 so via the USB cable have been able to solve the more urgent issues I had with my previous Android phone. I can now stream my music via the Apple USB cable, use the ipod function as well as via Deezer and tunein radio.

However, I would have liked to really use the ability of the NBT. Things like real time traffic, web radio from the idrive interface etc.. I have read a lot on the last couple of days on the forum and am pretty sure my hardware supports all of these but none of the options are present in the car.

In a normal situation I would have tried coding myself. But this being a leasing car I prefer expert help and support to make sure nothing goes wrong

Can someone give me a hand in:

- finding out exactly what I can add via coding to the NBT
- offer me the coding help - I know this can be done remotely. I have tried to look for local help in Belgium but have not been very successful.

Thanks in advance!

I now man aged to check with my VIN the options available and understand a little bit better the situation.
So my car has the following options on the telematics side:

S609A NAVIGATIONSSYSTEM PROFESSIONAL Navigation system Professional
S698A AREA-CODE 2 Area-Code 2 for DVD
S6AAA BMW TELESERVICES BMW TeleServices
S6ABA STEUERUNG TELESERVICES Control for Teleservices
S8SCA LAENDERSPEZ. TELESERVICEFREISCH. Telematics access request,country-spec.
S6NHA FREISPRECHEIN. M. USB-SCHNITTSTELLE Hands-free with USB interface

So looks to me that I need coding to change 6NH to 6NS to get the extended bluetooth. I tried to check the teleservices option that seems to be part of the connected drive series but I cannot find anything in my idrive menus, so I guess I still need help to get this (Understand this involves getting an FSC code + doing some coding).

If someone can contact me to support me on this it would be great!
