Nbt Retrofit Pre Lci problems (SOLVED)

HaugF30 · 09-01-2018, 08:13 AM

I have purchased a Nbt unit to put in my 530D Pre Lci, it is now Cic in it.

I have bought everything i need, included Pre Lci adapter simulator from Bimmerretrofit.

I installed the unit in my car as the instructions told med, and activated the adapter.

but it seems like Bimmerretrofit sent me Audi Cables for the Fibre optic.

Anyway, i decided to try an install it and i thought i would fix the Fibre optic termination later.

Then i start the unit, it says Connected drive on the screen and then it goes black again.

Is this because i haven't yet terminated the most or is it because i haven't coded it yet?

I had the same issue until I disconnected my zgw and terminated most fiber. It seems that NBT Evo does not work with zgw. Someone from their tech support explained that I need to have that optical cable removed and terminated for correct functioning. Hope yours is resolved too.

Yes it is resolved now, it was the right cables but it did have some transportation security plugs in them i had to remove, it didn't say so in the instructions.

They have now updated the instructions.

Now i'm struggling with the rearview camera, i got image, but it is distorted.
