Add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your compatible BMW 1 Series F20 with NBT iDrive. Access supported maps, music, calls and messaging apps on the original BMW screen using the familiar iDrive controller.
Keep your factory microphone and BMW Bluetooth audio. Phone calls use the original BMW hands-free system and microphone, while music plays through the factory Bluetooth Audio / Bluetooth Media source.
Check the actual headunit before ordering
This package is for confirmed compatible NBT hardware. NBT EVO, including EVO hardware with an older NBT-style menu, requires a different compatibility check.
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 NBT iDrive headunit, factory screen connection and controller.
NBT and NBT EVO can have similar menus. If the version identifies NBTevo / EVO, send the version photo before ordering; this NBT listing does not establish EVO compatibility.
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.
Uses the factory microphone. Telephone calls stay on the original BMW Bluetooth hands-free connection and use the vehicle’s existing microphone.
Music uses BMW Bluetooth Audio / Bluetooth Media. Pair the phone with the factory BMW Bluetooth system, enable the supported telephone and media-audio functions, and select the BMW Bluetooth Audio source for music playback.
The factory Bluetooth call connection handles telephone audio. Keep the correct BMW device selected as the call-audio destination. The phone-to-interface connection and the original BMW audio connection serve different purposes.
AUX is not the standard audio path for this NBT setup. Confirm that the vehicle’s original Bluetooth hands-free and Bluetooth Audio functions work before installation. Existing microphone or Bluetooth faults require separate diagnosis.
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.
Factory BMW Bluetooth handles music and calls in this NBT setup; this does not by itself mean the CarPlay / Android Auto video interface is wireless.
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.
The NBT package retains the original BMW microphone; an aftermarket microphone is not the standard call-audio arrangement described here.
Videos retained from the original listing may show another vehicle or software generation. Confirm operation for your supplied package.
