Upgrade your BMW’s existing iDrive with our advanced MMI (Multimedia Interface) Retrofit Box for NBT. This is the definitive plug-and-play hardware upgrade for vehicles currently equipped with the factory NBT (Next Big Thing) system, seamlessly integrating modern smartphone capabilities into your dashboard without replacing your factory screen or head unit.
Product Highlights:
-
Wireless Smartphone Integration: Adds full support for wireless (and wired) Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your original factory screen.
-
OEM Integration: Works entirely behind the scenes. You retain all original iDrive menus, vehicle settings, and factory Bluetooth. Easily toggle between the native BMW system and the MMI interface using your factory iDrive controller and steering wheel buttons.
-
Camera Expandability: The included harness features RCA inputs (yellow connectors) specifically for integrating aftermarket front, rear, or 360-degree backup cameras.
-
Expanded Multimedia: Features a dedicated USB input for local media playback (music/video) or wired smartphone charging and connectivity.
Technical Compatibility:
-
Designed exclusively for BMW models equipped with the factory NBT (Next Big Thing) iDrive system (typically found in 2013–2016 F-Series models like F10, F20, F30, F25, etc.).
-
Plug-and-Play Design: Connects directly to the rear of your factory head unit using the included quadlock pass-through harness.
-
Requires a fully functioning original NBT head unit and screen to operate.
