CIC to NBT Evo Retrofit - Random restarts & NO SIGNAL
Hello Everyone
I drive a 2012 328i - It cam with a CIC head unit & Navigation. I wanted to retrofit a NBT Evo Head unit mostly to have CarPlay capability. I installed the head-unit following most of the notes / insights from this forum. After the installation and coding done -- The head unit is either restarting randomly to a NO SIGNAL screen, and doesn't come back till i leave the car turned off for a little bit. This is not my video but I am in a very similar situation -- Been stuck with this situation for about 45 days now. I am in San Jose, California -- struggling to find help. Any idea / suggestions please ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the parts I used.. 1) BMW i3 i8 NBT EVO ID5 ID6 4GB RAM + GPS + CarPlay + Mini Clubman Countryman -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/113837326339 2) BMW NBT EVO F10 F20 F30 retrofit adapter, touch controller, ECU, Y cable adapter -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/253203344468 3) NBT display EVO CID Video Cable Retrofit transformer For BMW F10 F20 F25 F30 F15 -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/173871723742 4) BMW NBT EVO 200 cm retrofit HSD USB cable for armrest fits F10 F15 F20 F30 F25 -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/252898318545 5) BMW CIC NBT EVO F20 F30 F10 F25 F15 bluetooth voice retrofit MIC microphone 3.5m -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/264475300120 6) Bingfu Vehicle 4G LTE Cellular WiFi Bluetooth 2.4GHz Hidden Antenna for BMW Volkswagen Audi Mecedes Benz VW Vehicle SUV Car Stereo Carplay TCU Telematics Security Bluetooth Module Head Unit Receiver -- https://www.amazon.com/Bingfu-Cellul...dp/B07PFLWY77/ 7) steve@codemybimmer helped me with the coding.

Just some extra background information, the OP did work on the quad lock connector and spliced some of the wires in there. It seems like either the power or can pins are not properly making contact to the HU because when he holds it in a certain way, it will power on.
This HU will work on this car provided that it is coded accordingly. Last edited by steve@codemybimmer; 01-10-2020 at 06:02 PM.. |
