ID4 NBT evo to ID6 flashed- results
So had my ID4 flashed now since Easter, best thing I ever done been honest.
Remotely done by member from here took about 40min, only problem I come a cross after vehicle was left locked for longer period of time carplay and default Sat nav wouldn't load, this has been solved following day by same person and works everytime now. Sorted on Easter Sunday now that is a service. All apps works, no restarts but I don't use default satnav so can't comment hence why I done this flash, surprisingly having the older wheel with button control works good is well, pressing nav button will start Google maps or any other app you have set, pressing tel will open phone app in carplay ect., pressing voice button on steering wheel will trigger SIRI. Using 3rd party WiFi antenna connection is solid. Navigating carplay it would be better having touch screen but is easily done via old fashion wheel. One thing to note it will wipe your service from idrive, I didn't look in to getting reuploading but got in touch with BMW customer service and they will provide paper copy of it. So just bear this in mind if you decide is something you would like to do. I can only recommend Jakub (kubax86 on here) from https://bimmer-remote.com/en-gb/prod...ay-fullscreen. I don't think I will have problems but if anything arise will update. |

For example I've got that in my 2015 F31 - so what 'extra' can be coded without having to replace the screen or other bits?

Yeah ditto, I find all the BMW acronyms and different screens, HUs etc confusing.
I do really want Carplay and a bigger screen, but doing it the BMW way costs an absolute fortune. I believe the Evo box can emulate the newer ID6 and fully integrate the steering wheel buttons, idrive knob and vehicle data etc, plus some other features. But does it need the larger screen? My 2016 only has the Entry NAV I believe, which is ID4? Only the weedy 6 incher screen. I did skim watch these videos, albeit on an E90. The Bimmertech Lightwave amp looks tasty. It replaces the HK logic 7 unit and is twice the power. |

I never was fun of BMW satnav, inputing destination ect just wasn't great for me. Rerouting ect just crap. Love google maps and trafic display for example, when you around town and sitting in traffic quick glance on screen to see if I can nip round side road ect. Apple music, Spotify just works great, couldn't do with the BMW Spotify app sort of thing, when you get a text SIRI will just read it out, this can be changed in setting if you don't want your wife hear things 🤣then you have option to respond or not, works milion miles better then bmw voice system. |

I decided that since NBT does include Bluetooth music streaming (I thought it only did calls) and I've found up to date satnav maps, I can live without Carplay because it all sounds like a bit of a pain |

I'm just interested in what the possibilities are I've no need and really, no want to upgrade TBH I've just splurged on a set of ADAM A8Xs today for my home office; they've cost me enough and would rather listen to my music in there anyways
