Can't get radio to work on CIC to NBT retrofit



Not sure if anyone here has a solution but I originally had a factory CIC infotainment system on my F30 and I swapped it out for a NBT system.

On the CIC, there was one black FAKRA connection that was used for both AM an FM radio but on the NBT however, there is a white FAKRA port for AM/FM1 and black port for FM2 only.

If I plug the original black FAKRA into the white port, AM doesn't work and some FM channels work. If I plug it into the black port, AM works but FM only has a few stations.

Does anyone have a solution on how I can get this to work? If I plugged that one black FAKRA into the CIC, it works perfectly fine.

I'm in the same situation that you were in, as I've stated in the main NBT thread... I think that the issue will be better spotted in this separate thread

Any chance that someone knows how to solve this issue?

Plug in your Original Fakra connector to the Port 7 of your NBT and separate antenna like bellow to port 6. Should work fine.
