NBT only has one connector which means if you could lose either AM or FM, and the existing cable connector will need to be modified to get it to plug in. Steve took care of all the cables I would need for the retrofit ahead of time which included:ġ) CIC has one connector for both AM and FM antennas. The installation went smoothly and I now have an NBT unit in my car. Once the unit was programmed, I took a Saturday and drove down to Markahm Ontario where his business partner Vince took care of the install. He did all the programming remotely while he was out of the country and basically flashed the headunit to my VIN and enabled all possible options. I shipped the unit to Toronto to have him program it. Steve was always prompt and informative and helped to guide me on this upgrade. I purchased the headunit, touch controller (They gave me the trim piece as well), and the touch controller (They threw in the shortcut buttons) for $500 CAD ($388 USD).īefore purchase I began to talk to Steve at about doing the upgrade and asked many question. I started looking online at wrecker inventories (North American online database), and settled on a headunit from a 2015 328 with had NBT touch and Navigation and Sirius already enabled. NBT EVO retrofits seems expensive and in reality I did not feel that I needed to have ID4 or ID5, so I turned my attention to NBT touch. After looking at retrofit companies, it seemed like I would have to pay close to $700 USD just for that, while still retaining my CIC.

And I wanted BMW apps and Sirius unlocked. I managed to code Office and extended bluetooth, but still found the unit to be choppy. My car did not come with BMW apps, or extended bluetooth or XM Sirius or Office integration. While the CIC navigation in my car was functional, it was slow and I did not have 'all options' on it. My 2013 F30 was unfortunately built with CIC navigation as opposed to NBT, and I have been looking at upgrading it for quite a while.
