Hi I've just joined

I have more BMW vehicles than most people could imagine.

I have:
about 20 BMW compacts
E31 with S62 engine
E70 M50D
5x BMW E70 35d/30SD
unknown numbers of e90 and e60 vehicles
F30 of all types, GT, estate etc
F20 of all types
R56, R53 etc etc
Many BMW L30 vehicles which most people know as an L322 lol
And many many more I forgot about

Hello, 
I have BMW F20 114d 2017

My headunit doesn't have navigation and it has 6.5" screen, I am trying to understand what kind of unit I have, because in bimmercode it shows as HU_NBT, but I am supposing it to be ENTRY, you can find attached the pictures of the unit and wiring. I was able to retrofit a blackpanel 6wa to my car successfully (with MOST connection), the person who did the retrofit told me that the extra free port i have is either for GPS or WIFI antennas.

those are the options I have from factory
- S663 Radio BMW Professional
- S698 Area-Code 2 for DVD
- S6AC Intelligent emergency call
- S6AE Teleservices
- S6NH Hands-free system with USB interface.

also worth noting that I can find the location of my car using MyBMW (which means i have some sort of gps available).

My goal is:
- Have a bigger screen (8.8").
- Enable Navigation (so I can have SLI information in my Kombi using a simulator).
- (stretch) enable carplay.

Can someone help me figure out this? and tell me what I can do with my unit, Happy to pay for a remote session (I have ENET cable ready).

thank you

Hello I have purchased a NBT bench flash cable and I have a ZGW 1 and a ZGW 2 4SK laying around. I have ordered an NBT EVO to retrofit to my personal F20 LCI. While I wait for the new headunit to arive I decided to test and when I wanted to flash the software on the ZGW 1 to a new software version I encountered the following error in ė-šÝ§:

'Generating target SVT with strategy complete flash and integration level "F010-24-11-520" (target) and "F010-10-09-525" (shipment) failed. [C324]
KIS error: Das logistische Teil mit der Sachnummer 9385182 ist nicht bestellbar. [1283]'.

It is my understanding that I have to edit the SVT in order to allow for ė-šÝ§ to skip the FRM for flashing but I am unsure how. Any tips would be highly apreciated as I endeavour to learn.

P.S: I tried the same thing with the ZGW 2 and I get the following error: 'Generating target SVT with strategy complete flash and integration level "F010-24-11-520" (target) and "F010-13-03-502" (shipment) failed. [C324]
KIS error: Das logistische Teil mit der Sachnummer 9385182 ist nicht bestellbar. [1283]'

Thanks!

Hi, 

I am Ferid and new to the scene. Currently I own a F11 535D and want to see what modifications I can do. 
Also want to be able to find out any error codes there are.

**“For my 2022 BMW X3 G01, I successfully completed the retrofit digital key using the following original BMW components:
• Door handle with NFC module – REF: 51215A65DC7
• Wireless charging platform (WCA) – REF: 84105A82C19
• LTE compensation module – REF: 84108735007

All parts were installed, coded and validated without any visit to a BMW dealership. I used ÎŜ†Ä+ for the wiring diagrams and connections, and finalized the activation through ÎŜ†Ä Online with backend authorization. The system is now fully stable and operational.

It is essential to strictly follow the wiring diagrams — any deviation can lead to malfunction or failure.
As the final step, the vehicle must be removed from the My BMW App account, then re-added with both physical keys present inside the vehicle to allow the key card to be generated correctly.

This retrofit was carried out independently and at my own risk. I am not responsible if someone attempts the same process and experiences issues on their vehicle.”

I was curious how the files are compressed to get such a great difference between the actual file size vs the archives that are shared. For example, the psdzdata lite is 8gb unpacked but 1.8gb packed. I also noticed the file format is in zip and not 7z so I would guess it's not using LZMA2. I am trying to make "mini" psdzdatas that contain files I need for flashing units that take long (like NBTEVO) and would like to make the files take less storage.

This question was mainly intended for Hashtagmaster but his inbox is full so posting here.

Thanks in advance.
