Do you know where I could source a touch screen replacement and is it just plug and play or would I have to code the head unit so that it knows a touch screen is now installed.

Thanks for all the help so far

OK, well ID6 is much better, so good good all around.

You need to code new screen. I have no idea on sourcing one.

You can't use Touch Screen on your headunit. It doesn't support it

Ok,

Thanks for the info. Overall I'm happy with everything working, was just curious if it was possible.

Thank you everyone for your help

Good point. ID4 Hardware has no APIX2 support.

Change the Salapa-Options in your VO and then only code the NBT.
All changes will be automatically set.

Do u have any tutorial how to change the salapa to Southeast Asia ?

Nickmonc · 02-02-2023, 11:36 PM

Hey guys,

I have a Jap import and I’m trying to change it to us spec but I haven’t been able to find a Salapa for national version / country specification for USA.

TheNine90 · 02-02-2023, 11:49 PM

Use USA typecode

Im actually not too sure but I usually use this website to find VO codes. Maybe it’s norther countries? That would be 830.

Hi all, would someone be able to help with converting a nbt evo5 asia to ece? im sure i may need a region change fsc as well as map fsc's. I have esys etc and icom too. the car is a 2017 bmw mini f54 vin 2D67500. thanks all.

i also will need some guidance with a nbt in a 2015 bmw f11 NBT ffrom japan to ece. i think this may just need vo/fa changes then code kombi and nbt and load map and fsc but please let mw know, cheers

TheNine90 · 03-05-2023, 01:59 PM

You need to change typecode and flash the NBT. After that fix region lock and write new FSC. I can generate the necessary vo region fix and FSC for you. PM me if you need any assistance.

hope you're able to shed some light on this, I've just imported a 2015 F32 from Japan to New Zealand and found out it came with a NBT EVO ID4 head unit. I've done the changes in VO coding to change the language and region to Australasia. Everything worked fine and the headunit is converted however now navigation greyed out. I've loaded NZ maps onto a USB and it prompts for an FSC code, I have a valid map FSC but when reading the data using bimmercode I found that since I did the region change the FSC for 00A0 - NBT Navi Application Harman says the activation code has been rejected and therefore I can not load the maps or access navigation. Where can I source a 00A0 code and how do I activate it? Is it USB based, manual entry or does it need to be loaded with E-SYS?

I've attached some pictures of the messages I'm getting on the Drive screen and a screenshot of my FSC codes status.

I would really appreciate any help on this.

My vin is: K531666

Thanks in advance.

Side note:
I'm new to the forum, how do I allow private messaging.

HI, antonandres! I got same issue, mine is 2013 F30 with NBT, I just change japan to nz, and upgrade the map from usb driver, then NAVIGATION got greyed out, I checked by Bimmercode, showed the same 00A0 rejected as yours. how did u fix it? can u please email me by weld.bob@mail.com

Based on my experience with NBT, You need a new FSC pack for NZ region. You can buy them at FlashXCode for about 45€

Please note that this only works for NBT, if you have NBT Evo which is ID4 (looks identical to NBT) then you have to upgrade the software to ID6 before you can convert as ID4 suffers from a region lock.

To find your version:
Map type NEXT will mean you have NBT.
Map type EVO but everything looks like NBT means you have ID4.

Hope that helps a bit
