As for retrofitting a TCB, I've never seen anyone do it but it's theoretically possible. There has been some guys on the E90 forum with the older CIC before the 2011 build who swapped their TCU with a CMB_ECALL and were able to keep all BMW Assist functionality. The SIM should be the same since 3G/HSPA does not need a special SIM card whereas on HU_NBT2, you would need the ATM module instead which uses an LTE SIM card. I just don't know if the BMW Servers validate the IMEI and the ICC on the TCB if you are retrofitting. It's worth a try if you are brave.

Mic
i definitely only have one mic on the driver side. I wonder if the eCall feature would still work, if i retrofit the TCB. However, I will give it a try, thank you for your help. Hopefully the TCB will have connectors for GSM and GPS like on the combox, a USB port and a big connector for the rest of the wiring without the need of destructive tool work...

Ok I finally got round to fitting mine (much help from Kitster)
Fit went quite well & fairly straightforward as I was coming from HU_Entry with no combox, the screen I received was for a LHD car so had to remove the rear trim to this for now, system powered up. Initially GPS wouldn't pick up so as Kitster suggested I went for a drive and within 10 mins it was working. I still have to code it in this morning, although everything seems to be working already? Couple of issues, USB in armrest isn't working? Shaved & rotated 180, will try a different USB port on rear of unit (bummer as it all refitted) Another problem I could do with some help on is the screen shows a different car on reverse/tyre status screens, how do I get this to show correct screen... ANd a small one but I've set the time in the unit but it refuses to display it, just shows dashes where time should be. |

OK so I've coded the FA part with 6NS, 609
changed build date to 0713, I assume this is the zeitkriterium (time criterion) value, my old one was 0312 Now the VO coding bit (which I don't know how to do).... I went into were I've done FDL? parameter changing stuff before and HU_NBT & KOMBI are now there so I right clicked on the folder & selected code.... it went through a process but came up with errors? car was running and NBT was on? (as a note at no point was I asked for my token PIN?) So here I am now stuck, so any help would be great, and please try to keep it simple as I'm new to this PS. I sorted my USB by rotating the plug in the armrest by 180 degrees also. |

BMW Assist
I finally got my TCB-01 but the adapter in the trunk originally plugged into the COMBOX does not match the blue 26 Pin connector of the TCB
USB and Antenna connector just fits. NBT does not show BMW Assist in the Connected Drive menu, TCB is not visible in the ECU section of E-sys... Does anyone have a clue ? |

I have retrofitted NBT into an F20 which has 6WA extended cluster & VO coded with 609 but the navigation arrows are not displaying.
The Kombi & NBT are on different software levels - the KOMBI is on earlier software. Is there an FDL code that needs to be changed or do I need to flash the kombi to a higher level? Thanks

does these bluetooth antenna with fakra connector fit in the NBT bluetooth port (beige color) or did you have to cut the NBT port to make it fit? Last edited by BeatB; 06-16-2015 at 07:38 AM.. |

Hello!
Very interesting topic... I'd also like to retrofit the 8,8" display and Nav Prof. My car will be a 2015 F34 with radio Prof. Will the older CIC head unit still work in this car? I don't really need all the features of NBT, just a cheap solution to get the big screen and general gps function. My car should have a combox (?) as it has the newer handsfree bluetooth incl streaming etc. If so, I could avoid the wiring issues of NBT as CIC has not integrated this function? What do you retrofit pros think? Possible project or do I have to go for NBT? Thanks in advance... |

HU_ENTRYNAV is way better than HU_CIC and has far more functionality. If you retrofit CIC, you would need to also retrofit a combox or else you will have no USB playback and Bluetooth handsfree functionality.

Thanks. This means my 2015 HU_ENTRY has the USB and Bluetooth funcionality integrated (and no external combox)?
So your suggestion is to buy a HU_ENTRYNAV (the new Business nav) and retrofit this? But so far I've never seen this HU to buy used and I don't want to spend thousands for a new one. Or did I understand you in a wrong way? Last edited by TePee; 07-20-2015 at 01:31 PM.. |

I believe you can enable Nav on that head unit but you would need to load the enable codes to it and code it with business nav on your FA. Not sure if this will require a software update or not. In theory, you should be able to take the fsc codes from another 2015 model vehicle that has business nav and load them to yours while using an activation emulator.

This means the hardware is the same at HU ENTRY (2015 Radio Prof.) as well as at HU ENTRYNAV (2015 Navi Business)!? If so, this is very interesting.
By the way I read that at this new Navigation Business you can change the resolution fitting the big 8,8" display. If the new Radio Prof. has the same main hardware, it should also be possible? I will get the car in 2 months, this is why I have to ask every detail. I just can't go out and check it. But I want to be prepared and already collecting parts |

Or do you think you can retrofit GPS-contact at one of These "blind-contacts"? |

Here's the wiring diagram for TCB. CMB_ECALL and TCB both us BODY_CAN to communicate but CMB_MEDIA communicates over MOST.

Hi everyone! I've got a small issue with my retrofitted NBT. I used to have CHAMP2 with S6AAA BMW TELESERVICES and S6ABA STEUERUNG TELESERVICES and I always had an option "Automatic Teleservice call" under Connected Drive section. However I don't have it in retrofitted NBT. Does anyone know how to restore it?
