help needed for activating HU NBT on i8 test bench setup

Flasher · 01-25-2023, 07:30 AM

Hello,
i have been reading a lot on this forum about NBT activation - i am struggling to get a i8 bench test setup working regarding the headunit NBT.
the bench setup consists of a BDC/gateway, kombi, dme, gearbox module, touch module, Idrive controller, cid and a NBT headunit from another car.
All units are recognised by diagnostic tools and Esys.
I managed to change the short and long VIN in the headunit but i'm struggling to enable the greyed-out Navigation option on the main screen.
I did wipe the old FSC(s) using Tool32 but now i'm confused how to reactivate the Navigation - i have Esys but i really need some help on the next steps to get my navigation working in the test setup....

Please let me know what info you need to give me some expert help , thanks a lot in advance !

EDIT: i ordered a FSCpack , after some effort to find out how to use it i managed to get the Navigation field activated !
i must say Esys is difficult to use for novice users but i'm glad it worked out !
