I'm preparing to change my head unit to a NBT unit that I purchased from eBay. This NBT unit should allow me to code a iDrive resolution output that is higher than what my original radio was sending to my original 6.5 inch screen. I already replaced the 6.5 inch screen with a 10.25 inch Android screen. The tablet side of the Android screen looks great with its higher resolution but the iDrive side of the Android screen still receives a lower resolution from iDrive.

I'm looking over this head unit before I open up my dash to install it. It appears to offer more connectors on the back than what's available on my original radio.

So far it seems obvious that the BIG PINK connector on the far-left will be for the display. And the little BLUE connector on the far-right is for GPS.

1. Does anyone know the purpose for each of the other connectors?

2. There's a WiFi label on the top of the radio. Does this WiFi feature mean I could connect the radio itself to any WiFi network so that the radio can access the internet?

You should be able to research some questions there.
You do realize there are different versions of NBT?
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do exactly.

another reason why I never got around to doing mine. it's not just a simple plug and play and boom 10" screen

Okay. Since I already bought the radio and have it, I might as well do some research to try and make it work.

We'll see what happens.

After having a long journey with my 535i. I went out to buy something outside I left my kid in the vehicle. When I came back I realized i can only access radio from the dashboard. The idrive controller is not working. All other functions on the screen are shadowy. Only the radio function works.
No warranty.

Hey buddy,

Did you get anywhere with this?
My 2015 F10 Lci has the original nav with a 6.5" screen. Using an android screen, I was hoping I could use a Pro head unit with the android screen.
I can only think the idrive controller will be an issue
