Didn't realise the process was the same for Evo so that's good to know - as far as I'm aware you can use an SSD with an Evo unit but you can't with an NBT unit because they're picky about the SMART temperature attribute. NBT expects it to be on a specific value that apparently no SSD uses, but NBT Evo supposedly doesn't care. No need to change the MAC, BTMAC and Serial parameters in the script. I assume they're for the hddsecurity script to run so it can unlock the drives but if you're just prepping a new blank drive there's no need. Quote:
You can't use Linux, it has to be QNX. The basic CLI stuff is obviously just the same as Linux, but these head units use QNX partition types and not ext3/ext4 etc that are used in Linux. You can do it through a QNX VM in Windows though, but I've never done that. Always just used a spare older PC I've got kicking around and disconnected all its original drives so the only thing hooked up is the new replacement drive. |

Now I just need to find the time to grab the existing drive from my unit as I'd like to grab an image from it before putting a new drive in it. |

I spent the weekend trying this, running into issues on my pc trying to run QNX, but got that resolved.
I got to the point of running the script, and it threw back 4 errors on me (one for each partition)... "WRANING: mountpoint XXXX not available". I said screw it, I'll get back to it tomorrow. So, today I go to try again and now I can't mount the drive to the C:\VirtualBoxDrives folder. I receive "VERR Access Denied". Is my drive kact? |

I created a LiveCD and placed the drive in an old laptop, then followed the manual steps listed here (adjusting for block size due to a larger drive). https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/u...#post-13574739 I believe the drive it properly configured now, though I have not yet installed it in the car. |

Well... The drive swap ended up being irrelevant to me anyway.
The problem I'm having is my sons phone (Pixel 3) causes my head unit to reboot anytime it connects to it. I have the exact same phone with no issue. I figured the drive would help that. Nope. Loading the maps in the new drive anyway as it's twice the size. But I'm keeping the original in a safe place. |

That sucks, but at least you got the drive prepped up properly Always good to have a backup. That's what I did with my NBT unit - put a new drive in but kept the original safe just in case. They're getting to the age where drive failures are common so having a spare drive is very handy.

This thing is really starting to drive me nuts, though. My son, wife, and I all have identical phones (Pixel 3). Mine connects fine, my wife's connects fine, my sons reboots the HU EVERY time it tries to connect. To add to this, I was driving the other day and the music streaming from my phone was jumpy. I changed from Amazon to Pandora, and the car seemed to lose connection altogether. I had to pull over and reboot the system to get it functioning again. I would just love some consistency here. |

Just dealt with this today. HDD died from foam cleaner.
went to central computers and just picked up a random 250gb WD SSD Took 10 minutes to swap out with never having taken the dash apart before. It's super easy. I considered trying to clone the drive but this guy lists this service for $100 so I didn't even bother https://bimmer-remote.com/products/b...initialization Took him about 20 minutes to flash the new SSD using my mhd dongle with Ethernet cable. The longest part was downloading the 26gb map file afterwards. This was on a 2017 f32 with nbt evo 5. |

Good choice going for an SSD - luckily you have an Evo unit so that is an option. Unfortunately for regular NBT you can't use an SSD. It's a shame because an SSD is obviously going to be a lot more reliable.
I've got an Evo unit in my car now but haven't swapped my drive out yet. Like with my NBT drive, I'm going to do it before the hard drive has a chance to die so I'm covered. Does the HU run noticeably faster with an SSD in it at all? |

Unless you can clone the drive I would say it isn't worth the hassle. |

SSD won’t do much difference in EVO ID5/6

May have spoken too soon.
The system is intermittently displaying the same issue, but it now resolves when I restart it. I'm thinking my system might not be playing nice with the particular SSD I installed, or maybe the SATA contacts are dirty or something |

Hey guys,
For those who are working on a VM I have a trick for you. use collabedit.com to share the create_hdd.script. Step 1: you'll need to open this website, CnP the script here and CnP it in the QNX Step 2: go to /home and create a file named create_hdd.sh Step 3: Open note pad and save the file you just created. for those looking for a script for a 250gig hdd please use this: ## new partition table HDD_SIZE_500GB=30401 DEF_DEBUG_200GB="180 /mnt/quota/sys rw 169" DEF_MEDIA_200GB="179 /mnt/quota/mm rw 6055" DEF_SHARE_200GB="178 /mnt/share rw 2201" DEF_DATA_200GB="177 /mnt/data rw 15895" |

For anyone coming here with hard drive problems like: navigation stuck loading and forgetting Bluetooth pairing, dash presets, radio presets, etc.
Buying a $15 SATA SSD and spending $75 on a level one service at CodeMyBimmer.ca fixed all my issues. |

What's the largest HDD that anyone has used? I want to try this so I can have a bigger music collection but unsure how big I can go.
I have a 2014 HK NBT system so can't use an SSD. On the SSD temp sensor issue, has anyone tried the adapter that is used on MAC hardware when swapping out the HDD for an SSD? https://www.flexxmemory.co.uk/access...012-and-later/ I have never taken the NBT unit apart so don't shout at me if this adapter won't fit. |
