Can you code/retrofit Enhanced Bluetooth?
Appreciate some advice on a bit of a long running saga with the dealer on my F31.
When the car was ordered the Professional Navigation system carried option code ZMP and in March 2013 BMW changed the navigation options where Professional Navigation carried option code ZNP. Unfortunately ZNP no longer carries the Enhanced Bluetooth functionality as standard which includes the ‘Office’ function which is now on separate code 6NS. Hence my car was built with ZNP, but without 6NS which was not added despite the fact that it was included as standard as part of ZMP. Now clearly the dealer should have informed me of this or even BMW should have realised and adjusted the build accordingly, but I guess their argument will be that the Enhanced Bluetooth was replaced with the Apps and DAB both of which I could take or leave, but the ability to have simultaneous phone pairing and read emails on the move is essential for me. A PUMA case has been opened by the dealer, but I have read some comments on the US section that allude to the fact that so long as you have the combox the Enhanced Bluetooth is a simple matter of coding the functionality (obviously I won't have the cradle in the armrest but I am not bothered about that). Any coders out there who can advise please?

i must admit i am totally confused by all these codes, and in fact what my car should and should not do. I think the dealers are confused just the same. BMW need to help out customers here so we all actually get what we want, and are aware of what we have got.
i have apps, but i cant get emails, i have dab and bluetooth audio, and i also thought i had enhanced bluetooth. However i seem to be unable to get txt messages or diary either. The dealers are totally unable to tell me either what functions i have or how to work the more complicated ones.. in fact on delivery i was categorically told i had no bluetooth audio... but i do! |

When I mentioned 'coding' to the Service Assistant at my local dealer recently (as in I'd be interested in a 6NR retrofit - at the right price) he hadn't the slightest idea what I was talking about. He asked a colleague who also gave a blank look and shrugged their shoulders!

Podro can you verify changed's experience that BT audio is possible?
It might help if we can confirm that the BT hardware can do the A2DP profile because that may indicate other profiles are also available in the hardware - i.e. coding is a possibility |

I'm utterly baffled by it too but are you saying that post March Pro Nav (ZNP?) will do audio over Bluetooth or did you have another option ticked somewhere? |

ZNP will NOT allow Bluetooth audio streaming. You have to have 6NS to get that (Enhanced Bluetooth).

BT audio is not possible on my system as I don't have Enhanced Bluetooth. I am not sure I understand what you mean by A2DP profile - please expand...

The options on bluetooth for my phone when accessed through the Pro Nav only shows "Phone" there is no other functionality accessible from my phone to the car. There is no other option available under Media either where I may access the BT streaming. Am I looking in the right place?

Perhaps your car was built with the ZMP Pro Nav rather than ZNP so the EBT was included as standard? Do you know your build week?

Do you have the phone cradle or cradle prep in your centre arm rest?

Hi all,
Did anyone get anywhere with this? My F10 LCI arrived yesterday and I realised I never ordered enhanced Bluetooth. I have professional nav, internet, apps interface, bmw assist etc, but no enhanced Bluetooth, would love to be able to stream audio and read emails/texts on the iDrive. Has anyone successfully coded the enhanced Bluetooth functionality? |

This was also covered in the following:
http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=878201 Pre November 2012 - Navigation System non NBT The Pro Navigation system in pre November 2012 cars is the non NBT (Next Big Thing). The head unit part number being HU_CIC (no NBT in it) ZMP - Navigation System - BMW Professional Multimedia this included 6NL Enhanced Bluetooth telephone functionality and voice control. stefan4 has this unit and hence has voice control. The Pro Navigation system post November 2012 to July 2013 (NBT) ZNP package is the new Nav, the head unit has changed, the Head Unit part number changed to HU_NBT. NBT stands for Next Big Thing. ZNP does not include the Enhanced Bluetooth 6NS which includes Bluetooth Audio Streaming, 2 Phones at the same time, Office functionality, snap in cradle functionality. The BMW sales material lists the ZNP as not having voice control and that you need Enhanced Bluetooth (6NS) to get voice control. This appears not to be the case as most 2013 cars (if not all) with the HU_NBT have voice control. Confirmed by user of this forum who both have voice control on their cars with HU_NBT BMW may mean no voice control in the ZNP without 6NS to mean different levels of voice control this being the Dragon dictate functionality that is only present in the Enhanced Bluetooth 6NS (for the Office functionality). The Pro Navigation system post July 2013 This is the same HU_NBT but with the upgraded i-drive controller. Summary So if you have a pre November 2012 car you should have voice control. If you have a post November 2012 car without the enhanced Bluetooth you have the voice control. If you added the enhanced Bluetooth you should have voice control, Bluetooth Audio Streaming, 2 Phones at the same time, Office functionality, snap in cradle functionality. People have confirmed that a UK 2014 car (ie post July 2013 build ) with the Pro Navigation system and no enhanced Bluetooth has the voice functionality As the HU_NBT head unit has the hardware you can code all the options of the enhanced Bluetooth bar the snap in cradle functionality. |

Is any of this possible without ProNav? My car is able to read text messages to me but I'm just wondering if I can code things to include Office / email reading / audio streaming or am I missing some hardware?
