I have exactly the same box on my F33 (2014 428i convertible). I'd assumed this is where the SIM goes for the connected drive services (it seems to have an IMEI number on the sticker) and that the Combox was no longer required as built into the head unit. Will be good to get a correct view though.

I too want to change the 6NH to 6NS. I've received the cable I ordered via ebay today; can someone PM me links to the E-SYS software, data file and token generator please?

 

I'm a bit confused. My car comes with enhanced bluetooth with the options available already. How exactly does it differ from normal bluetooth?

 

EBT includes Office and support for 2nd paired phone, but Basic Bluetooth does not. In addition, on older car, EBT was required to get BTAS (Bluetooth Audio Streaming), although BMW AG has since added this capability to the Basic Bluetooth Option.

 

Hello,

I changed 6NH to 6NS on a F21 M135i from 12/2015. It has HU_NBT2.
It seems to work: Can pair a Phone2, can use Office.

However: Bluetooth audio streaming does NOT work with Cover art or Playlist support.
(fwiw, Bluetooth streaming already works fine with 6NH, so no change here)

My impression was that this should work, too. Any FDL I need to add? Any other hints?
The two ENT_BTAS_* settings are enabled already by default in my HU_NBT2.

 

In regular NBT with at least 50.4 firmware, coding ENT_BTAS_IAP_COVERART gets Bluetooth Album Art, so long as broadcast source transmits it.

You have NBT2, and it should work the same, but I can't say 100% as it is new.

 

Thank you shaunsherridan for the PM and E-Sys details. I've just spent 30 minutes following the guides to code enhanced Bluetooth on my 2014 F33, but I seem to have failed.

First off I followed the instructions here http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8020396&postcount=7

Using the Step 1 PDF everything seemed to go as expected and as documented. I edited the SALAPA-element so that the 6NH became 6NS and followed the guide to the end.

I then moved to step 2, and confess I didn't really understand what I was doing. I think I established I have the HU_NBT headunit, but the only right click options was to expand or collapse the underlying tree.

I suspect I was in the wrong area of E-SYS (I was in Expert - Coding I think) and I've now left the car in a confused state where the FA is updated by the head unit isn't. Long and short I can't see any Office menu item, and my phone still only connects as Telephone 1. No options for audio streaming or other services.

Can anyone provide some clear instructions (like provided for step 1) for Step 2?

 

You should have been in "Expert - Coding". Send me TeamViewer Login and I will look at it.

 

Hi Shaun, so glad I found this thread and forum, been tearing my hair out trying to get audio streaming, I will pm you my vin shortly (newbie) please check what head unit I have and also send me.thr link for esys? Thanks in advance.

 

Hi Shaun, so glad I found this thread and forum, been tearing my hair out trying to get audio streaming, I will pm you my vin shortly (newbie) please check what head unit I have...

I think you will go bald before you will have Bluetooth Audio Streaming (BTAS). Unfortunately your car has basic ENTRY Head Unit. I can't rule it out with certainty, but the odds of it having a Combox are slim to none, and without one, no BTAS.

...and also send me.thr link for esys? Thanks in advance.

Same issue also troubled me after I've changed VIN in my retrofitted NBT. As it worked before and suddenly it stopped, it was due to VIN change and new BT name appeared and you also need to enable iMessage notifications in your iPhone under BlueTooth paired device (inside paired connection) to allow your phone to sync with BMW office.

 

Hi i have a F30 january 2015. My audio sistem is Entry_nav(navigator Bussines) i have modified 6NH for 6NS and coding ECU HU_ENTRYNAV. The EN_BTAS cover and browsing being Aktiv of default in my car. Well, after the change 6NH for 6NS the new menu actived called office menu, and i can see mails and SMS also the car reads the emails but in the streaming spotify for bluetooth only can go next or back track but it doesn't send neither covers nor buttons for controlling and browsing music in spotify.

any ideas? can you see covers spotify with bluetooth streaming with entry nav?

 

Not possible with HU_ENTRNAV. You need HU_NBT.

 

shawnsheridan, do you think its possible to code EBT on my car?

 

How would I know, when I know nothing about your car.

What Head Unit do you have? Do you have a Combox?

 

Oct 13, 330d xdrive MS, dont think i have a combox.

 

this is what i have...

PM me your short VIN (last 7).

 

this is what i have...

 

F495559

 

This VIN has NBT Head Unit, so yes, you can code it for EBT.

 

Hi Shawn,
I just ordered a F30 with business navigation. Do you think the newest business navigation unit (i think it will be HU_Entrynav) will be able to bluetooth stream audio?

Thanks!

 

If it has ENTRYNAV, then yes, BTAS is possible.

 

Many thanks for your help:thumbup:

 

Forgot to ask, if LIM gets coded will the CC work as normal?

 

As far as I know, yes, as Euro cars have both, but I don't ever code LIM because personally I find it useless if car has CC,

 

Here in the UK its a cool feature as theres fixed cameras all over the place especially coming into villages & city's, i used to have it on my previous car (Mercedes e class) & i made use of it big time.


Thanks

 

Ebt coding soon

shawnsheridan some time next week I'm getting the EBT coded to my car, i have all the services up until Dec 2016 (NBT PRO), will this interfere in any way when coding?

TIA

No.

 

Thanks, is this a 10 min max job also?

Thanks, is this a 10 min max job also?

Yes.

 

Once i get the coding done for EBT will i lose the coding if i do future USB updates for the bluetooth/multimedia?

Thanks

 

BMW.com/updates for bluetooth communication and media will not affect coding.

 

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum.
I have a 2011 750Li, I have bluetooth for phone calls and contacts sync.
However I don't have enhanced bluetooth to be able to play music via bluetooth.
If
1. How do I find out if my car has the capability to even support enhanced bluetooth? Is there a site i can enter my vin and find out what Combox if any comes in the car. I check the trunk of the car and all i found is battery and fuse box.
2. If it can be done what what cables, software etc do i need to code this? and can find good one on ebay?
3. Can i also update my combox to support more new apps, specifically youtube?

Please and thank you.

Look for Option 6VC. If car was built prior to 09/2010, you do NOT have one for sure.

 

Prod date: 2010-06-07

 

Hi,
First post - just received 2017 4 series with idrive 5.0.
I can't find any details regarding coding idrive 5.0, are the codes the same?
I want to enable office function and 2 phone connection - is the required code still 6NS?

Thanks

 

6NS is not valid for a 2017 4 series. Do you not have enhanced Bluetooth from factory?

 

First post!

I've recently bought an F31 / 320D ED manufactured in May 2013. I assumed that its bluetooth would enable me to use the car stereo like bluetooth speakers, but, after pairing my iPhone 5S with it today, I was dismayed to find that it doesn't. I wasn't worried about not having satnav, since I was planning to use an app on my phone, using the car's speakers for the spoken directions.

Reading around I find that I should be able to change the 6NH option to 6NK, using only software. Will bluetooth then work as I expect?

I've just ordered an ethernet cable, now all I need is the software!

Hi

Newbie to the forum. I'm after coding my 318d 2013 F30 to enable EBT.

I currently have 6NH and guessing from reading previous posts I need to code to 6NS. I have a combox in the back too.

Please can someone help with software. I have just ordered the ENET cable.

Many thanks in advance.

Rats. Having got E-Sys working (which involved resurrecting an old MacBook which has Parallels with Windows XP on it), I find that I have HU_ENTRY but no CMB_MEDIA in my SVT.

So no Enhanced Bluetooth for me, and no way to stream audio from my iPhone to the car stereo?

 

Sad, but true. No Combox = No A2DP Bluetooth Streaming.

 

What software do i need to use (sorry - never coded the car before).
