Headunit identification and potential upgrades - SaalaaahBC - 01-06-2026

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

This is EntryNav Head Unit, which was introduced from 7/2014 on. As the vehicle is without navigation from factory, it can not be retrofitted to this unit. A larger screen is possible with this unit. For screen swap a suitable 8.8" screen is F30 pre-LCI with part# 9292248. Also a simple coding is required for HU to adjust the larger screen display.
