F30: Without the navigation, NBT will cost you $2,200.00CAD during March sale. Since Combox is built into the NBT, you will have bluetooth audio. ENET cable for F30 is inlcuded in the NBT kit. Option at $800.00CAD is for an FSC activation code to activation navigation. For this option, the vehicle must be equipped with the actual NBT head unit, which your vehicle does not currently have. Therefore you must install: NBT head unit, CID display and import FSC code for nav activation. For bluetooth audio, Combox is required. However, in 2013 F30s, Combox is built into the NBT, so without NBT you will not have an opportunity to have bluetooth audio. So I was quoted around $3000 just to turn Bluetooth audio on and navigation comes as collateral benefit. Last edited by zibawal; 04-13-2013 at 02:01 AM.. |

Maybe look at after market solutions like Dice (Audiovox) MediaBridge or something, which integrates with the iDrive / Steering Wheel Controls: http://audiovox.diceelectronics.com/...ridge-info-avx

Spoke to the guys at bimmerretrofit (Guys in Toronto). They said i dont need the Navi (609) for the combox media retrofit. I wont have the navi features but everything else. I'm sort of confused now. Are they wrong in stating that? I was told 2012 HU needs fw update and coding to integrate the combox media. Any idea? Thx |

Why the heck they would tell you any thing different? Unless they have configured or invent some thing different currently that clients don't know? |

1) By the way, i was told that i cant get the Combox Media installed without Navigation, is that true? My car doesn't have navigation. It's a basic iDrive. Can you verify please. Yes, You can have it installed- We checked it already 2) Would i have to remove the Combox every time i take the car to the dealer if they need to program the car? It depends on many factors: first of all depends on dealer - if they compare list of equipment with original then they may refuse to service, secondly it depends on the other fitted equipment. It is only possible to say for sure after coding is done. BTW: You don’t need to go to the dealer to have the car programmed- You can bring the car to our shop. So i'm really confused. Are these guys correct? A buddy of mine also took his E90 to these guys for a retrofit an he stands by them. Any advice guys. |

There are 2 major types of standard headunit (i.e. no-nav) fitted to the F30 - one with built-in BT hardware and one without. If u order standard BT (i.e. 6NH) then the headunit fitted to ur car will have BT hardware built-in. If u order with enhanced BT/BMW Assist (6NK/6NL) then the headunit doesn't have built-in BT hardware (this option combination is not available in USA, not sure abt CDN). It's not clear for the latter case whether it's simply BT hardware disabled within the HU or it's totally absent, but the part numbers for the standard HU is different if u have 6NH compared to 6NK/NL.
So if u want to install combox to standard HU u don't need to install 609 as well, but at the very least u have to source a EU/ROW spec 6NK/NL-compatible standard headunit, & that means u'll lose ur satradio. |

This thing is becoming awfully confusing.
Not only one , two retrofit people told us same thing, pre requisit navigation;( I wish some one from bimmerretrofit shall address that directly on this thread. |

Someone here already tried installing combox straight onto a unmodded 6NH headunit, without success. Another thing, u'll lose the ability to import/export driver profiles via USB if u fit combox w/standard HU, that's cos the USB is physically connected to the combox in this case & not to the HU. It's a design quirk not related to retrofitment. |

It's not that confusing once u've sussed out the various hardware config combinations available in different markets.

Same result here. We don't have BT data transfer enabled from the factory & I don't think anyone has been successful turning it on (our cars have non-nav+6NK+6NF as standard equipment).

BT data transfer should rest in the combox. For those option you mention, DUN_PROFILE, BT_DATA_SERVICE are all not active. |

Saw something interesting in KOMBI today:
DIG_KVA_BEREICH Kommentar=Dieser Wert bestimmt den Endausschlag von der digitalen KVA Anzeige. Aufloesung in 1L pro 100km. Der mpg Wert wird entsprechend umgerechnet Comment = This value determines the full-scale deflection from the digital display KVA. resolution in 1L per 100km. The mpg value is accordingly converted Default setting: 20_l/100km, Werte 14 Other option available is 30_l/100km, Werte 1E I'm guessing this change the graph shown on extended cluster which currently max out at 20L |
