I'm wanting to do a NBT EVO retrofit on my F10 CIC pre-LCI I currently have the HU (with GPS,ID6),G30 screen
CID cable for monitor,Microphone cable,Aux cable,USB cable, BT antenna and Emulator/Adapter that I'm getting real soon I know I need to find someone who can flash and code my unit but is there anything else that I'm missing ? I'm sure I know how to plug everything in I just want to ask someone who has expertise in this retrofit and who has done this before I'm willing to pay just need the help.

I'm curious on this retrofit as well. Keep us informed. The big issue I see is the fact that the F10 screen is inset into the dash, while the G30 sits up outside like my old F30. Is that an issue with fit using the G30 screen?

I have an LCI with USB/aux and also the touch idrive wheel, I'm assuming I'd just need a screen, an EVO head unit, whatever connectors, and coding. But if I have to custom fit the new screen, I'd lean towards just going with bimmertech's carplay/AA upgrade.

I have been looking for a F10 for a while now and will probably pick one up real soon. I have done five NBT Evo retrofits with ATM in E series cars before and I just did one for a F30. You want to make sure you pickup a US spec headunit and a ATM module so you can keep telematics, HD Radio, Sat radio, BMW Assist, etc. On the F30 I even got the remote lock and unlock working with the phone app. I have no idea how it will work on the F10. My car systems dealer put a G30 touch screen in his dash and it looks real cool. I want one in my F10. I put a touch screen with a NBT Evo in a E89 Z4 and it is worth it over a non touch screen. I will do a write up once I find a car.

Im planning on this retrofit soon, just need to decide if its worth the extra expense of getting a NBT Evo head unit thats pre-coded to my VIN, since its got afew extras that may need to work. Im being quoted £1090 for the a unit that will also have Carplay screen Mirroring activated and also have the voltage converter wire to conneect to the existing screen (F10 LCI with ID4).

Do you think used NBT Evo head units work with out coding? seen them go for under £400 in UK

Will be great to see some knowledge shared, Im just wondering how much coding there is and if it can all be done using eSYS and ENET cable??

And what is involved when they say coding to VIN, FSC codes??

They need coding. Retrofit coding is so different then regular. Go with someone that will help you and does remote coding. You will need more then just the HU to keep Navi as well. Atm and the wiring. I have a guy that helped me. I did G30 screen. Nbt evo HU. G30 controller. And a Atm. I have connected and everything but keep in mind the screen mirroring only works with android

Thanks for the reply that’s really helpful, I don’t mind paying some one fir the coding, especially to transfer the FSC codes linked to my VIN, also I don’t mind keeping the existing screen using the voltage converter that’s been talked about since I am happy to use the ID4 touch controller for navigation the menus. Most of the NBT Evo headunits I’ve seen are from the F30 will these fit a F10 the look smaller then the NBT unit I have in the car now. Do you know which car your NBT Evo came from? Mind sharing a picture, im seeing some NBT Evo units that have the Blue GPS connector (I’m told these are from Mini)

How did you fix G30 screen in place? Is there an adapter for F10?

Where did you purchase the G30 controller and ATM. I’d appreciate if you can guide me to purchasing these parts?
