Hi guys,

First off I need to apologise as I have no idea what model my car is apart from 320d M sport, this is a UK 63 plate build date of Sept 2013.
I have professional nav, but not enhanced Bluetooth
I have office functions/assist and apps etc within idrive but when pairing Bluetooth all I get is Telephone and not audio/office functions.
I checked the build vin site and it said I had 6NH which I believe is just usb audio and phone prep.

How easy is this to code and get the software as I seem to have read that half the links etc are virus ridden :-( etc..

many thanks for your help guys..

Hi all, f30 coded and everything on my wish list is up and running, a huge thanks to a prolific coder who volunteered his time and expertise to help. For that I'm grateful. One issue that is not working is the Bluetooth connectivity. The vehicle seems to have lost the ability to launch Bluetooth. As in, when I try to pair to a phone, all I get is a "please wait" message and a loop that keeps on circling, like it's "thinking about it".
I've tried an iPhone and a Samsung, erased the previous pairing, hard reboot both phones, switched off the vehicle, locked it and left it overnight, nothing makes a difference. Has this happened to anyone before? Any insight? Thanks. Tried to activate Bluetooth from telephone tab and from multimedia tab, no joy.

One last time. If you have no Combox. you cannot code Enhanced Bluetooth. End of story.

Hi Shawn,
First of all i want to tell you what a wonderfull job you do for us all. I learned a lot from you posts.
I coded some stuff on my F30.
But i am still sweatting a lot before changing EBT. I have the HU CIC, COMBOX and PRO nav.
When i change to 6NK and code the ECU's, do all the activated features stay the same? Or do i have to code some stuff to have BT again?
thanks a lot

Modules in head unit?

Hi,

If you head unit is replaced on an F30 12/2013 NBT what modules need to be recoded? My dealer has had my car all day and still not got the programming done correctly. Also the 2017 maps won't load apparently due to updated software on the new head unit?? Which now needs to be back dated??

Something is seriously wrong so I would appreciate some help before tomorrow's heated phone call :mad:

Thanks in advance

I assume this NBT replacement is for factory fitted NBT (one-for-one). Dealers cannot program Single ECU's. If they have to program one, they program entire car, and any ECU with newer firmware since last programming will be updated. That can be one ECU, all ECU's, or any number in between.

They would not load 2017 Maps. They would load map associated with last FSC Code issued to your VIN, whatever version that was.

Hi everyone. So I've just gotten a 2014 320i and want to enable the EBT for audio streaming. I went through the steps of coding the 6NS in the VO, and coding it into the HU_ENTRY and CMB_MEDIA ECUs. After doing this I now see Bluetooth under media options but I still seem unable to get this working properly. Here's what i'm seeing:

Main media menu: https://goo.gl/photos/ZZKxXn6ebcRbpNoG6

Media options menu: https://goo.gl/photos/qvpPx63CfUd463ut5

Phone bluetooth option menu: https://goo.gl/photos/g9bDoLqsMW4vpZKU7

Phone config menu: https://goo.gl/photos/n3snqC6RoDfy73Cg7

As you can see from the phone config menu, I'm not getting the option for audio. As for the media options menu there is a checkbox for bluetooth audio but when I try to enable it nothing happens. The checkbox will never become checked.

From what I have read it seems you need the combobox to enable EBT. Correct me if i'm wrong but if I am seeing CMB_MEDIA in Esys I should have the required hardware. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

For HU ENTRY, use 6NK or 6NL if car is equipped with BMW Assist,

Hi Shawn

Could you please send me the link to the files so I can have a go at coding EBT and LIM functionality on my wife's X4.

Thanks.

Hi Shawn,

I'm looking to code my 2013 F30 with EBT. I believe I have all of the required factory hardware options in place (609, 6NH, 6VA). If you could confirm ET is an option for me, my short VIN is F542703.

If it is, would you please be able to send me a link to all of the required programs and files I'll need?

Thanks so much!
