EBT Can it be coded??

versailles · 03-30-2018, 11:16 AM

Looking through I can't find a definitive answer, I want Apple Car Play but the dealer said that I can't because my x5 f15 doesn't have EBT.

Can anyone confirm that and if so can I code EBT or for it require hardware?

Thanks in advance

AFAIK, Apple Car Play needs touchscreen, therefore you need NBT EVO iD6.

Thanks Catalin, I haven't taken delivery of the car yet so I'm not 100% sure, I know it has pro nav but that's about it, how can I tell?

Bimmer tech can code iDrive for EBT but Apple Car Play requires additional hardware. It's not just EBT.

EBT?

CatalinP · 03-31-2018, 12:22 AM

Enhanced Bluetooth.

I have a carplay, and i forced myself to use for a day or two, but turned it off, and can safely say, I never will use it.

Is enhanced BT just as good? Can EBT be coded?

The EBT I have enables most functions from iPhone including text messaging, Siri, contact book pictures etc. But when I asked for Full Apple CarPlay was told that my NBT Evo unit (iD5/6) needed additional hardware module. So I only bothered with EBT and it does everything I need and adds capability for additional telephone connectivity.

Anyone have the steps to code EBT?

Are you sure that you don't have it?
Here you can find the steps to add it:

On the first page in the first post there is an entire section dedicated to VO coding. You need to add enhanced bluetooth to the VO (you'll see it mentioned explicitly). Still, i would first decode my VIN to see what option my vehicle is equipped with. For example i do not have 6NS but i have 6NW which includes 6NS (enhanced bluetooth).

I have CarPlay on iDrive6 but I don’t have Enhanced Bluetooth.
