• Adds touchscreen operation for the upgraded interface
• Provides convenient access to smartphone navigation, music and communication
• Adds CarPlay and Android Auto to compatible factory configurations
• Maintains access to supported original BMW functions

Important: Confirm Your Factory BMW System

BMW 6 Series vehicles within this year range can have different factory multimedia systems, including CIC, NBT and NBT EVO configurations. The screen version, wiring and interface settings must match the system installed in your vehicle.

• CIC: Requires assessment of the original CIC system and matching connections
• NBT: Requires the corresponding screen version and wiring configuration
• NBT EVO: Requires separate confirmation of the head unit, display connections and supported screen package

These system names are identification categories, not a guarantee that one product version fits all three. Our team will confirm whether the available package supports your vehicle before supply.

Please do not identify the system using the registration year or home-screen appearance alone. Build date, factory options and previous modifications can affect the installed equipment.

Original BMW System Integration

The upgraded display works alongside the compatible original BMW multimedia system, allowing you to return to supported factory menus when required.

• Replaces the original display with a 12.8-inch touchscreen
• Maintains access to supported original BMW menus
• Retains supported vehicle settings and service information
• Retains compatible iDrive controller and steering-wheel functions
• Integrates audio with the compatible original sound system
• Factory camera and parking-display integration are subject to configuration confirmation

Please note: Touch control applies to the upgraded interface and supported smartphone functions. Original BMW menus may continue to require the factory iDrive controller.

Audio and Camera Integration

The audio connection method depends on the original head unit, factory amplifier and available audio inputs. An AUX connection, adapter or additional configuration may be required.

Please advise us if your vehicle has a premium factory audio system, surround-view cameras, aftermarket cameras or previous multimedia modifications. We will confirm the available integration and any additional accessory requirements before supply.
