Hi All,

I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on a problem that I'm having. I'm upgrading from a cooking NBT to an NBT2_EVO. According to the serial nr sticker the part number is 9437951.01 (with the blue GPS connector) and the unit's manufacturing date is 2/19. It allegedly came from a G20. I bought this a few weeks ago and set it up on the bench to test and program it using E-Sys launcher 3.27.1.

It was initially set up on the bench with a G01 X3 10.25" touchscreen. This works fine in APIX2 mode other than the touchscreen not working. The screen which I'm actually fitting (a 10.25" F15 touchscreen 6816387) has a similar problem so it's very unlikely to be the screen. Seeing as this is one of the primary reasons for doing the upgrade I'd like to get it resolved!

I don't believe that there's a SALPA element to add and carried out the following CAFD coding:

(3000) HMI_ID_VERSION > ID6_light
(3005) CID_TOUCH > aktiv
(300B) CID_HMI_TOUCH > aktiv

Also checked the following which were correct:

(3005) CID_APIX_MODE = apix2
(3005) CID_COLOR_DEPTH = 24
(3005) CID_COM_MODE = mii

I've tried scouring all forums that I can find but no joy. I'm not getting the three square symbol in the top left of the screen so I guess I'm missing something in the coding. Any ideas anyone?

Is the value HMI_VERSION: id5 set?

Otherwise I have no other idea.
But if you want you can send me your CAFD and i compare it with my (working) Evo2 with Touch CAFD.
Or i also can send you mine CAFD and you can compare it yourself.

This is from another thread for the 10.25" X15 screen retrofit but others have also coded the below settings. Maybe check the screen size and resolution related settings as it may be affecting the touch screen from working?

CID_APIX_MODE = APIX2
CID_COM_MODE = MMI
CID_COLOR_DEPTH = 24bit
CID_ DISPLAY_RES = 1440_540
CID_DISPLAY_SIZE = 10_25
DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display
DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 10.25_1440x540
DIMMUNGSVARIANTE = neue_dimmung
DISPLAY_PIP_CONFIG 3005 > CID_TOUCH = aktiv
TOUCH_COMMAND 300B > CID_HMI_TOUCH = aktiv

This is just a guess but the above may be helpful. Although on my NBT Evo ID6 screen in my F32 (all OEM) I just had to enable the "CID Touch" settings to enable the touch screen functionality (my touch screen functionality was disabled by the factory for some crazy reason, thank you forums!) Good luck and hope you get it working.

Thanks for that info guys. I'm up in Scotland at the moment but am back home this weekend, will have a check then and give you an update

Hi Guys,

A quick update.... I finally got the time to sit down and have another go at updating the NBT's FDL. When I checked through the NBT's CAFD I found that the changes that I previously made hadn't been saved. So, I started again but adding the HMI_VERSION > id5. Bizzarely, this time the changes saved and hey presto... I have a fully functioning touchscreen!

Right, time to install in the car...

My thanks to eff32fl and also to atzebmw for the additional information and the offer of looking through my CAFD

Was your screen displaying before setting the touch aktiv lines? I am trying to figure mine out, although I am on the G series and going from 6.5 to 10.25. I am just getting no signal

Yes my screen was displaying before I just have a normal 8.8" OEM screen. I'd check the display/resolution related settings above and make sure they're set correctly.
