You can change them to max brightness when headlights on but as DRL I think they're already at max value

Has anyone ever done business with bmwretrofit? Any Feedback?
I have retrofitted an NBT EVO / Carplay in my 2016 and they make an interesting GPS module to support this. 2/26 update: I ordered the GPS module and should have some feedback soon. 4/23 update: Box has been installed for a month and is working great. This is a nice way to retrofit an NBT EVO without going through the effort of wiring an ATM or CAN Filter. Last edited by ferrarif1; 04-23-2019 at 01:55 PM.. |

Based on the number of DM's I received today, maybe I should go into business with this retrofit
For all those who asked what this takes: You need significant experience with coding (e-sys) or someone to do this for you. This is way more involved than changing options and FDL coding as you need to change VIN, FSC codes and some other things in the NBT EVO. From a hardware perspective, you need: 1) NBT EVO from 2017+ X5 or equivalent part number 2) Touch display from 2017+ X5 3) WiFi antenna for NBT EVO 4) FSC codes to enable CarPlay, Navigation and Voice control of new NBT. 5) ATM emulator (GPS) for NBT EVO (This is still work in progress until I receive parts. I have no working GPS at the moment as NBT EVO does not have embedded GPS like NBT). Carplay nav (Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps) works as GPS comes from phone. 6) Optional: Newer EVO style idrive controller If you do your research and have the tools setup and ready, this swap can be done in under two hours. Parts cost from eBay is $1500-$2000 Last edited by ferrarif1; 02-27-2019 at 09:33 PM.. |

1) Pre-configured (already coded to your car) retrofit where you install NBT EVO, Screen, GPS and Antenna? 2) Installed NBT EVO in Boston area? |

yes.. i think they would make it so everything is plug and play (pre-coded) and it would make a lot of folks happy.

I recently had some coding done on my 2018 X5M and the seat no longer retracts for "Easy Exit"... We tried the coding in this thread and it doesn't work and disables the steering wheel from retracting as well. Anyone on here have any ideas or suggestions on how to code this back into my vehicle?

I recently coded my f85 using Bimmer Code app and Veepeak. The only option that doesn't work is closing the rear hatch using the remote. Do I have to go into expert mode?

No. Go back and make sure 'Tailgate function remote control' is set to open & close. Worked for me.
