BMW F01 Pre-LCI NBT EVO Retrofit - Satia - 17-03-2024

Hi,

I received an NBT (EVO) adapter from the Bimmerretrofit for F01 2012 (Pre-LCI). It doesn't come with any installation manual, and their website and email are broken at this time. 

The problem is, I cannot find HU EVO and Dkombi in MOST ring/ SVT. I excluded ZGW from the MOST ring, restored the MOST with a loop plug, and finally connected the MOST from the adapter to the ZGW. 


The adapter supplies CAN to Hu using its quadlock interface too.  Any guide to fix the issue is appreciated. Does anyone have the PDF guide for the Bimmerretrofit NBT adapter Pre-LCI F series?

*The car came with CMB and HIFI AMP. (CMB is also disconnected and it's MOST is restored using a loop).

If you bought CAN adapter that is wrong way for this case. There are two options:
1. You need MOST emulator from carsystems.com.ua and leave OEM ZGW, not disconnect any MOST, or:
2. You can also not use any emulator, just program ZGW to ZGW2, disconnect MOST, connect KCAN2 from ZGW(2) to NBT and make some more wire changes like microphone, KCAN2 to iDrive, etc.

Second option is good depend of your car options, some features can stop work like FLA and High Beam Assist, or some issues with PDC can be also. Second option is good for poor cars.

Thanks, I will go for the first option, since the car has too much equipment.

1-Will HUD still work with carsystems.com.ua adapter too? I gonna retrofit 6WB too.

2-What is the CAN adapter from the Bimmerretrofit application? I told them I needed it for NBT retrofit for Pre-LCI F01 and paid 750$.

3-I heard I may need to replace the AMP with a newer generation for some sound issues. Is it true?

What I received, is this CAN module " the attached photo". I thought I should get a MOST adapter. So what is the function of this module? Has anyone used it before?
