Really a nice job done. Congrats.

Any cuting or splicing the original wire?

Thanks. Yes, I had to splice some of the wires and form a cable wrap to enable sound on the car. Removed and replaced a few pins for the idrive controller.

If you do, be sure to put up a thread too

Will do! Just want to make sure there's value as I already have the pro nav, but considering what BMW would charge me to add bluetooth streaming, I can practically justify the upgrade here on that alone.

You wouldn't need to upgrade mate just add EBT via coding.

Max@Elebest coded the touch input function and replaced the startup animation from 'Connected Drive' to 'M', that's right M.

Here's a short clip of it the NBT in action. Furthermore after testing, it can play videos (MP4) via a USB/SD card.

I notice you have BMW Apps. Was that something you had to get an FSC code for or was it just coding? Thanks.

The BMW Apps were coded as addition by Elebest not sure if it required a FSC Code.
