A dedicated option for the early F20 CIC-HIGH configuration described in the source as having no factory navigation or Bluetooth Audio. Its audio and microphone setup must be checked separately from the NBT package.
Check the actual headunit before ordering
This product is for the specified CIC-HIGH F20 variant. The NBT package and its factory Bluetooth Audio arrangement are not assumed to apply.
Send VIN, build date, factory dashboard / menu and iDrive-controller photos. For navigation-equipped cars, include the Navigation System Version screen.
Installation reference only. Some catalogue photos are shared between models. Original screen size, trim and controller finish vary; no replacement touchscreen is included.
Vehicle: BMW 1 Series F20.
Required equipment: confirmed compatible CIC-HIGH iDrive headunit, factory screen connection and controller.
Catalogue reference: 2011–2012. Confirm build date, market and installed equipment individually.
For the early F20 CIC-HIGH configuration described as lacking factory navigation and Bluetooth Audio. Confirm the headunit and wiring physically; a menu image alone is insufficient.
Press and hold the MENU button on the original iDrive control pad to switch between the factory BMW menu and CarPlay / Android Auto. Follow the supplied instructions for the hold duration.
Use the iDrive dial for supported selection and navigation. Some Android Auto track or app functions may not respond to every controller action. Confirm the supplied software behaviour during setup.
The original screen remains unchanged. This interface does not add touch sensitivity.
The source describes this variant as having no factory Bluetooth Audio, while using shared NBT connection graphics. Confirm the actual audio input / interface routing and microphone arrangement with Naviplus before ordering.
Do not apply the NBT factory-Bluetooth pairing procedure to a vehicle without Bluetooth Audio. Any required adapter, activation or microphone must be specified in the final package.
Test music, navigation prompts and both directions of telephone audio during installation.
Standard: wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through the dedicated USB connection, as shown in the source standard-package reference.
Wireless option: choose the wireless accessory / package when required. Confirm inclusion and compatibility with your phone before ordering.
Phone connection mode and vehicle audio routing are separate installation requirements.
The original BMW headunit and screen remain fitted. Switch back to the factory interface for original menus and vehicle settings.
The source reference shows factory reverse / surround-camera access while using smartphone integration. Confirm retention and camera priority for the exact installed equipment; this kit does not add cameras or parking sensors.
Tell Naviplus about existing cameras, PDC and aftermarket equipment. Camera accessories and retention adapters are supplied only when included in the selected package.
The original listing also describes separate AirPlay / MirrorLink-style mirroring. Confirm support for the selected interface, phone and current software version.
Mirroring is separate from CarPlay / Android Auto. App restrictions, protected content and phone software can limit what appears on the display; support for every phone app is not guaranteed.
Professional installation is recommended for correct wiring, interface configuration and testing. Verify BMW menu switching, iDrive controls, phone connection, audio and existing camera operation before final refitting.
Complete audio / microphone requirements must be agreed for the confirmed CIC-HIGH configuration.
Videos retained from the original listing may show another vehicle or software generation. Confirm operation for your supplied package.
