Nbt Evo with NBT screen trying to upgrade to apix2 help
Bought a Evo aftermarket Android screen and getting no signal.
Have a 2016 f36 with a NBT Evo unit but think it's using a nbt apix1 screen. The plug on the back of the headunit shows apix2 but looking up the screen, it looks like an NBT screen. Is the headunit outputting apix1 and if so, can I program it to output apix2? Its this likely the issue? |

your headunit is outputting APIX2 but the screen is an APIX1 screen, I'm pretty sure you can get a voltage converter to make an APIX2 headunit work with an APIX1 screen, or you can buy an APIX2 screen and sell yours.

The new Android screen I bought is apix2 I believe. Just wasn't sure how to program the headunit to output apix2 or if that is even a thing.

I was thinking that the headunit was programmed to output apix1 even thought it's an apix2 headunit. The new screen I bought is apix2 and getting not signal. Thought that maybe it was because the headunit was programmed for the OEM apix1 screen. If that makes sense.

Below is what I found referencing that Evo Hu are backwards compatible but not much more than that. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...d%20to%20APIX2 Last edited by Vonvendetta; 09-08-2023 at 12:06 PM.. |

it's very strange because your headunit should by all means be APIX2, maybe someone else can chime in. i have good knowledge about screens, but with headunits im a little less knowledgeable, my car came with a NBT EVO APIX2 headunit so I never did any research since there's nothing to upgrade it to.

You can code the NBT Evo unit to use APIX1 but only if it's running an older software version. I think Evo N and earlier can do it but it was removed on subsequent versions.
As mentioned though you do still need the voltage converter in place too. But as long as you get one of those and you have N or earlier you can code it to work. You need to change a few other variables, not just the APIX mode. For an APIX1 screen: CID_APIX_MODE = APIX1 CID_COLOR DEPTH = 18 CID_COM_MODE = SPI For an APIX2 screen: CID_APIX_MODE = APIX2 CID_COLOR DEPTH = 24 CID_COM_MODE = MII |
