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 Shawn,

I just purchased my first BMW, an F34 328i GT, and I'm loving it! I don't have bluetooth music streaming or USB music though and I'd love to learn how to code the upgrade. I have your PDF instructions, just need the software and cable. I'm a little nervous to mess with it, but I'm a total music guy and would love the album artwork and track selection functionality from my steering wheel. Not sure if it's possible with my smaller iDrive screen (VIN). Thanks!

It looks like you most likely have ENTRY Head Unit with Combox. You should be able to get Bluetooth Streaming, but I don;t think Album Art is possible. PM sent.

Hi,

I have F25 with

-S6NHA Hands-free with USB interface
-S609A Navigation system Professional

Which if I've understood everything correctly should mean I can enable Enhanced Bluetooth?

I've got my self an E-Sys Ethernet cable - so guess I just need the relevant software to get going?

Is it literally as easy as indicated here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8020396&postcount=7

Also, would this enable BMW Apps over Bluetooth?

Thanks

Yes, it is that simple.

No, you will not get BMW Apps over Bluetooth. You will need to use cable.

Hello @shawnsheridan!

I have a 14 BMW 328i, I have the combox in the trunk and would like to code the Bluetooth audio feature. I ordered the USB to OBD II cable, would that work or will I need an Ethernet to OBD cable?

I'm using a Windows 10 VM on a Mac, I need some help with the software part. Can you please confirm if I need Esys, the launcher and the psdzdata_lite for this tweak?

I'm following https://youtu.be/xbO4yWIFXoA , can you also please advise if I need to take care of anything else?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys. I have some time reading in the forum and it's really great, a lot of useful information and really good coding stories. Now my question, I have a 125d, 2015 said in papers but vin information says 20130901. I want to unlock my a2dp, I read the vin information on bimmerwork and 6va is not listed, so I understand I have nbt unit but I am not sure, do you know other way to check the head unit without unmounting the panel?
By the way I have no navigation, only hands free bt calls through phone and WhatsApp.
Thank you.

Launcher Premium is no longer supported by tokenmaster, only PRO for which he is requesting a $50 donation to a charity of your choice. Does anyone have any workaorunds? or previous builds that dont require emailing the tokenmaster for activation codes?

Thanks!
There is no workaround, only paid alternatives like ESysX, that cost more.

Why not just get the new Launcher Pro 3.x version? :dunno:

For the first 5 years, before Launcher PREMIUM came along, we all paid $50 for a 12 month E-Sys token, year after year, and were happy to do it. Making a donation of $50 every 2.5 years to be able to code one's car is dirt cheap by comparison, and certainly more than reasonable, and the money goes to a good cause to boot. It's Win-Win.

Hope someone can shed some light. Just purchased a 2018 X3 (G01). Didn't realize you need to order the wireless charging for enhanced bluetooth, so i'm missing it. I have nav.

Can I code for enhanced bluetooth on it? I see S609A, but not 6NH or 6NS.
If you have NBT2, add 6NW and VO Code NBT2.

Im trying to code ebt on a 2017 f31 with pro nav, nbt2, idrive 5. I've VO coded both 6ns and 6nw but neither have worked. I now get an office option in settings, but no options to add a second phone bt audio doesn't work.

I've seen a few people with similar issues - does anyone have a solution for this?
TIA

Hi,

Can you please help me? I try to get the Enhanced Bluetooth working on my BMW F31 from 2013 but I get an error when I try to VO code my headunit.

So first I changed the FA from 6NH to 6NL. That went well. Then I try to code the HU_NBT and end up with the following error:

Caf's suchen

I saw in another topic that "More than one condition parameter is active" means FA has conflict with 2 or more option codes.

How should I resolve this?

One note: My Car is from May 2013 and came from the factory with option 6NH (Standard BT) and the HU_NBT (prof Navi) but I saw a sticker on the physical headunit a later production date: 34 2013.
I think that is week 34, which means August 2013. That would mean that my NBT headunit was replaced when the car was 3 months old. Not sure if this can be related to my error.

Thanks,
Bas

You need to check FA again. Somehow you must have 2 conflicting codes (6NH, 6NK, 6NL, 6NS, etc.).

Thanks for your help. I have it working. It turned out that I had to change it from 6NH to 6NS. Changing it to 6NL or 6NK returns the error above when coding the HU_NBT

Only album art is not working when I stream music(Spotify) via Bluetooth. This is working when I connect my Iphone via USB.

Hi Guys, appologies for post bombing..but just picked up a 63 plate 320d with what i reckon is CIC... had been more interested in getting the m sport etc. and hadn't really done my homework on the infotainment system....so i have BT for phone but not for audio streaming... can do the audio via the aux jack but would prefer via BT if possible... the car has no nav nor combox in the boot... i understand this may be in the head unit but am unable to tell until i get an esys on saturday. Anyway quick question.., if I need a combox to get music over the BT working .. can i just plug one in, there seemed to be a few types, would i need a specific model to work?. coding aside that is..
or ultimate solution would be to also mirror android phone screen to use apps like maps etc again is this possible ?appreciate that be a big rip out and installl again i had read voltages may be different on newer evo units.. apprecaite your extensive knowledge to give me some advice

Cheers
Jake

Hello Guys, so i have a 116d ED from 2014 that i would like to enable EBT. I already have bluetooth for telephone calls. From what i have been able to gather, i have the HU_ENTRY and no combox at the boot. Is it possible for me to do this by coding the car?
If yes could you send me the e-sys?

Thanks
