I try to enable CarPlay in my Bmw

I've the fake FSC set but the patch doesn't work

I've put the .bin fil in usb ( Fat32), reboot manually the nbt evolution after 30 seconds but nothing happened after... ( The HU doesn't restart automatically)

My I-step (current) is : 18-11-551.

Any ideas to why my HU doesn't reboot automatically ?

Thanks in advance for your answer !

Your ilevel is too high. 18.11 doesn't support bin file from USB

Don't worry, FXC5 works in the software industry and has a solution for this...

for the soft higher then 11-18 is method by enet, works perfect, just necessary enet cable
this method works for all soft starting from J until the newest X (03-2021)

This is not possible through Bimmercode or Bluetooth adapter.
ENET cable/USB depends on software is required.

1. Make sure you have the hardware, the WLAN Aerial Repair Lead. If not, you need to buy one and install it, it costs about $35 from the dealer or ebay.
A. The location of the WLAN connector in the NBT EVO unit:


Pin#7 is the WLAN Aerial PIN, and you will see a "WLAN" close to that pin location. If this pin is connected, you are good, if not, you need to buy one and just plug it in.

B. The Piece that I bought from eBay.


Part# is 61119278133, this is not dedicated for F15, but it works.
If you wanted to buy the exact part for F15, please refer to the website realoem.

C. How to open your central console, check or install the WLAN aerial.
This is a good video and it has everything you need to know how to do it.

Up to here, the hardware part is done.

2. FSC Coding
There are two ways to get the FSC for Apple CarPlay, one is buy it from BMW AG, not sure how much this will cost, the other is to buy a fake full set of FSC and patch them to NBT unit. PS: You may need to pay to get the fake set as this requires specialties. I was lucky and got a friend that could it do it for me for free.

A. For the genuine FSC from BMW AG, you can follow the link here to inject it to your car:

https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=674597

B. For the fake FSC set (this is what I used).
First obtain the full set of the FSC, it must be a full set, as you have to patch your NBT and import FSC for each functions, such as navigation. If you do not have full set, please not do it, you will end up with trouble. Here is all the FSCs that I got for my car, you will also receive a BIN file to patch the NBT.


Once you obtained the full set of fake FSC, you need to do the following.
A. Plug USB formatted FAT32 with your .bin file into the central console usb port.
B. Waited for about 30 seconds, reboot the HU manually.
C. Do nothing until the HU reboot automatically.
D. Do a Manual reboot on the HU again.

At this point, you NBT is patched, and you are ready to inject the FSC set into your NBT.
A. Use ENET cable connect car to ESYS.
B. Import FSC to your car:

E-Sys => Comfort Mode => FSC => FSC Field:
Load FSC Code (e.g. xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc. The FSC Code file must first be Base 64 Decoded or else ESys can not read it. (Use B64Dec for Decoding - http://4mhz.de/b64dec.html ).
Base decoded file must be named the same exact file name as the undecoded file name, however save to a different folder, so you do not get confused as to which is decoded and which is not!!

FA Field: Select "Read FA" to use cars current VO.
Parameter Fields: (Example for Sat Radio FSC Code and CIC):
Diagnostic Address (hex) = 0x63 (for HU_NBT)
Application Number (dec) = 111 (6F in Hexidecimal - In FSC File Name, e.g xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc, this is the number for each FSC)
Base Variant = HU_NBT2
Upgrade Index = 0x01 (In FSC File Name, e.g xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc))
Select "Upgrade FSC" to Import and Activate FSC Code.
Select "Check FSC Status", and you should see the following in the list that appears:
----------
AppID 111
UpgradeIndex 1
SWTType SWTclassic full
FSCStatus accepted ! MUST SHOW ACCEPTED
FSCCertStatus accepted ! MUST SHOW ACCEPTED

PLEASE REPEAT AND DO THIS FOR ALL FSCs FOR YOUR CAR!


3. ESYS Coding:
A. Added 6CP in PA and made sure there were 6CP and 6NS, VO coded HU_NBT2
B. FDL code the following
• HU_NBT_EVO > EXBOX 3001 > wert_255 = FF
• HU_NBT_EVO > SYSTEM_EINSTELLUNGEN 3004 > CARPLAY_SWT = aktiv
• HU_NBT_EVO > TELEFON_TELEMATIK_ONLINE 3003 > WLAN_DIAGNOSE = aktiv

4. Connect Phone to CAR for CARPlay
A. Remove Bluetooth connections both in car and phone.
B. Connect Phone to car using carplay.

5. Here We GO!


In the end, I found CarPlay is not very useful as we have RTTI in NAV but it is fun to have it for $35, isn't it?

Wow this is awesome hack. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this, at least for the hope... :-)
I have a 2014 idrive 4, too bad

Hi, I had a question I own a BMW g30 from 2019. Unfortunately, it came without the navigation option and connect drive has been disabled. Is there any way that I can get apple car play working on my car?

My screen doesn't have a touch screen (8.8 inches) and my I drive controller only goes horizontally and not vertically.

Only with retrofit of NBT EVO

Search the forum and some members can do it for you for a small fraction of price than BMW

Just installed the Road Top unit for $248 which was sold under the Ninetom branding on Amazon but this is what showed up (pic attached)

I noticed on my install that I had to push the blue and grey connectors on the back of the head unit / climate control in with deliberate force before latching or it didn't work. Small panic on reinstall until I figured it out.

The wireless carplay with this unit is awesome. Connects instantly and all cameras work either going into reverse or hitting the buttons. It goes into and out of carplay instantaneously. It makes my 2016 feel brand new. I don't use idrive for anything any longer.

I ordered the antenna cable, gonna receive it in next one-two days. I saw the instruction on how to plug it to the back of the system. However, where should we run the antenna cable to, on the picture it seem pretty long. Where is it suppose to run to, or just stuff everything behind the system?

Thanks !!

Amazing.

PM for more info

Hi,

Do you still provide Carplay?
How reasonable is reasonable?

I have an F31 and an E-Sys cable. No coding experience nor software...
HU = NBT EVO ID5
VIN = K836683

So how do you tell the difference between the fake FSC and the real? Just looking through the bimmerfest threads on FSC and it looks like allot of people who offering the FSC Codes or doing the work. Just trying to understand the topic more.

Just from the idea that if it's fake FSC when they do it, should i see like allot xml files them going through or just 1 set(3) for the carplay feature.

Also, with NBTEvo_X, is there a way to do this via the USB like on the other iD5 version. Or is a ENET cable a must.

NBTEVO_X can be done with cable only. USB is not possible.

kubax86 So with the OEM apple carplay, what's the go with the revers camera and the front/360 for the PDC.

As in, with the after market MMI(andream), revers automatically triggers the revers camera and brings it on the screen. However for frontal/PDC you have to manually switch to the iDrvie view/ toggle the 360Camera option. There is no auto switch over to the camera view with frontal PDC.

Is this the same with OEM Carplay, as in if I am in carplay view, and I approach something, it still wont switch over to the 360 view.

Also with the OEM, does the touchscreen work in the CarPlay view?
