NBT Retrofit to F11 LCI - spooky75 - 02-04-2022

Hello,

New in BMW world, would buy my first BMW car (F11 LCI 2015 European, Prod. Date 2015-04-16) without GPS and I'm wondering can I easily retrofit NBT  ?

one more question, can this version be updated later to ID4, ID5 or ID6 ?

Thank you in advance !

NBT is id++, not sure what you mean by later update?

Change your FA, you need SA 609 and probably some more which I dont remember by heart. Code car with changed FA and you are good to go?

yes, you can retrofit NBT, but it is not plug and play, you will need to code new unit, and activate FSC's.

yes you can upgrade to EVO but not by software, you will need to change hardware to EVO, but that is more difficult than regular NBT.

NBT GPS is easy, all you have to do is buy aftermarket GPS antenna which cost ~10€

Thank you.... I found one NBT retrofit kit on local ads for I think good price, would this work with LCI from 2015 ?

Head unit CI682678301
Display 10,25" BM9289008023
iDrive Controller Touch 65829350723
Controller Touch Control Module 65829371374
GSM antenna from ebay

Regarding FSC coding and activation, can that be done by self via e-sys ?

Or maybe is best to let professional to that job, I saw some videos on YT, when guy fix everything via USB stick and scripts.
Do we have recommended FSC code seller here on forum ?
(EDIT: I saw you are FSC coder smile)

IMHO unless you really like to work on cars and have enough space to do it I would suggest you find a car with a NBT from a factory. If you never done that before, it will easily take a week to do it. And you will have to disassemble quite much.

I don't have much options due to situation on used cars market,  found only one car within my price range with Driving Assistant Plus (must have option), Head-Up Display and 6WB kluster but without GPS.
First next car which incl. everything above costs about 5000-6000eur more sad
