Last week, we were able to obtain a full fledged iDrive 5.0 unit along with a screen and iDrive controller from a US 440i donor vehicle, flashed it to my vehicle's spec and loaded a custom set of FSC codes and to my surprise, we are able to retain all of the ConnectedDrive functionality that originally came with the vehicle! RTTI, Concierge, Internet and BMW Online are all working.

We have experimented with this in the past and tried with various iDrive 4.0 NBT EVO equipment but due to many difference in the hardware, we were never able to retain the vehicle's ConnectedDrive functionality.

We plan to make this retrofit available later this year to those who own a 2016 F2x and F3x vehicle that originally came equipped with navigation. If your vehicle was equipped with ConnectedDrive, you can keep using your existing subscription with our retrofit.

We started delivering this retrofit in the ID6 format since late last year. If ID5 is desired, that is not a problem either.

Highly unlikely. I am in the process to purchase the add-on device that just uses NBT without major changes. Bimmertech will have an update on their software to allow full-screen display.

What options are available for a CIC without NAV? I'd love to increase the screen size, unlock advanced bluetooth and add Android mirror unless there are better options.

Steve, I am retrofitting a NBT evo 5 (6 lite) and an ATM from a north american donor vehicle in my F15 with NBT (keeping apix1). I would need coding. Let me know how much you would charge for your services. I will need FSC certs for the ATM vin inserted and need changing NBT evo vin to match ATM vin since they are from different vehicles.

Does anyone know if you retain full functionality of the snap-in phone adapter in the center console if you upgrade to iDrive 6, or do I need to replace it with the wireless charger adapter?

If you let us know ahead if time, we can custom code that for you so that you retain that functionality. In all other cases, the unit would be coded with 6NW for wireless charging.

He was asking about the possibility of still being able to use the factory iPhone cradle after installing this retrofit.

Hi Steve,
What would it cost to get the ID4-iD6 upgrade along with a touch screen? Are these new or used head units/screens? Thanks.

I thought I'd post a really quick review as I received my idrive 6 unit from Steve about a week ago.

I have an early-2016 F20 with NBT Evo (idrive 4) and really wanted CarPlay. I picked up one of the first-generation CarPlay MMI units from Bimmer Tech about a year ago and had been using that. With the new generation of them coming out with widescreen support and wireless I started looking at swapping out this for a newer MMI model. On a whim I dropped Steve and email to see what would be involved in a head unit upgrade instead.

I was always impressed with the MMI box, but the head unit upgrade is sooooo much better. It's great just having everything integrated together properly and it just works. The install took about 10 minutes and everything worked first time. ConnectedDrive services continue to work so I can remotely lock the car, locate it etc.

My car went in for a service yesterday at BMW and there were no issues from them with the head unit having been replaced.
