Here are a list of parts bought and approx prices ...
1. NBT HU ID 5 $550 from a north american car
2. APIX1 voltage cable $40
3. Wifi antenna $8
4. ATM wire loom $221
5. FSC codes $125
6. ATM unit: $250 also from a north american car with working RTTI, connecteddrive
Note: I did not upgrade the APIX1 HU as I don't want a touchscreen.
Shipping and taxes: approx $150.
Installation: 1 hour
Coding: minimal, all FDL.
Have a fully functioning NBT Evo HU with ID6 lite. Definitely one of the most enjoyable mods for me.
Since there are no existing threads on this (mostly there on F30 forums), will create this for others who need more info on this.
Update 6/16/19:
Ok guys, just wanted to post an update. I ended up downgrading the idrive on the retrofitted NBT evo to 18-03 and now everything including connecteddrive, send to car, remote ventilation etc. is working like OEM. It even allowed me to renew them or buy additional stuff.

curious if you have a DIY walk through for the install and re-programming?
thanks
