Evo version?

Hi,

I’m looking around on ebay for apple CarPlay on my car but none of the listings seem to have my Idrive version? As seen mine is NBT Evo “E” whereas the listings on eBay usually have NBT Evo N/O/P/W etc...

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!

E is the highest it will go on an ID4 EVO unit. Anything G and up is ID5+

Your hardware is capable of being upgraded to N so that you can have Apple CarPlay + Fullscreen Enabled with the only limitation being that the factory Nav will no longer run stable due to the lower amount of RAM in these units.

Hi,

Will all of the other gadgets work in the car apart from apple CarPlay such as DAB radio etc...? If so how do I upgrade to E and get CarPlay and full screen?

Thanks

you didn't pay attention what Steve said.
You need to upgrade your id4 to id6 and then you will have CarPlay!

Our Level 3 Remote Support Session covers the flash from E (ID4) to N (ID6) and yes, DAB and everything else will work.

For the flash, you will need a Windows laptop (or Mac running Parallels, Virtualbox or Bootcamp) along with 25GB of available space along with an external power source to keep the battery charged throughout the 1.5 hour process.

If you don't have access to a battery maintainer, you can run a set of jumper cables to another idling vehicle and that will also be good enough.
