Looking good BMWPlanetDude! You done installing that EVO setup? REALLY interested in seeing how the unit looks in the E39 in-dash with the CIC faceplate...
I'm actually really liking the screen placement on your setup over the screen mounted lower where the old unit resided. Whenever i'm driving my 540iT I imagine looking down at it and it just makes much more ergonomic sense to have it up higher on the dash like you (and all the newer BMW's) have it. However, I do like the cleaner look of the open top of the dash on the E39. Ultimately though...i'd give up aesthetics to ergonomics anyday. Function over fashion.

How you managed to do this , adrian from customretrofit tell me that ibus adaptor is not conpatible whit evo new generation ?
Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk
Most CAN bus commands are the same as previous NBT.
Steering wheel buttons are working etc already. Wake up signal is the same etc.
Some functions specific to the ID5 would not work, but Carsystems is releasing new firmware updates to include ID5 in iBUs emulators this week.
Speaking of new firmware, they actually just made a new one for the first generation ibus emulator literally 10 mn ago, that I am still using myself and probably people like Mick etc.
I am testing it right now

Yep.
You will need an extra WLAN antenna that's it.
You can keep your screen but will need a voltage regulator.
Unit will need a new EVO headunit to be flashed with correct software and FSC certs loaded.
Chinese camera do not work. Well only black and white.
If you want color you need to change camera with one that handles color with 4.43 MHz

EVO still work in progress

Here is another customer with the normal NBT recently fitted to his M5 with our bezels.

Is The Idrive controller required with the new nbt evo
My Bimmerretrofit module is now broken since 2 months. Came to the car one day and noticed that it won't open by remote.
No lights inside the car when opening the door so the battery was empty. Fortunately the car has two batteries so it managed
to start the engine. But the alarm systems managed to start as well. I turned the key two more times to deactivate the alarm
sirene - then the nbt screen didn't boot anymore. I did contact the support and they told me to measure few things. Came out
that the module has an almost shortage and there is no simple way to fix it.
Bimmerretrofit offered me to repair it for a reasonable price which is, in the worst case, the replacement of curcuit board for 350 USD.
I'm so disappointed because I think paying around 550€ for one year of usage is too much and I highly doubt that the curcuit board cost
them any near by 350 USD. I appreciate the work they've done and think it's worth the money but I felt more like buying a license than
buying hardware on this. Therefor I expected them, if the hardware gets damaged, they help me out the best they can to fix it. Instead
of this I feel like they want to gain high profit again.
It would be a whole other situation if I'm blameable for the broken module but it worked "well" for more than a year and without any changes
the module broke. For now I even think or got told that the broken module should be the cause for the empty battery and the fun with several
minutes of alarm in the underground car park.The person who told me so found a broken coil on the curcuit board but replacing it wouldn't fix
it he sais. He assumes an IC or processor is damaged. I hope by letting the support know this they can estimate the cost better.
For me it's sure that the next module I install is from Mick and BR definitly won't get another 350 USD from me.

Hello, another very nice NBT retrofit done to a 2001 525d in Europe with all the Alpina bits
Owner did the idrive controller bezel in carbon fibre, we supplied the rest (Screen bezel + full kit)
Very nice interior, fair play to the owner

Fantastic!
I've read through almost all the pages, but I still have a question: what is the status on HW versions that support CarPlay? Thanks for all the info!

Doing EVO ID5/6 regularly now, fantastic system, if anyone interested feel free to get in touch. Works in iBus cars of course.

So any of the NBT hardware will support Android Auto/Apple CarPlay? Evo is just the newer software?
Oh, I looked on ebay and couldn't find anything listed as NBT EVO. Does anyone have a part number?

Nevermind, now they are showing up for some reason. None in the states though.
