You will need a flat screwdriver in order to remove the MOST optical connector from the quadlock connector harness and re-plug it into the quadlock connector of the retrofit adapter PNP* harness. WARNING! It is important to reconnect this MOST optical cable in order to avoid loss of sound and other multimedia features. 3. Gently pull the plastic lock on the connector using a screwdriver and pull up two optical cables. 4. Now re-plug this optical connector into the same position of the retrofit adapter s quadlock harness.

6 5. Connect the Main quadlock connector harness into the opposite end of the retrofit adapter s quadlock harness. STEP3 Locate ZGW module in your vehicle. It is usually located at the driver s side under the dashboard.

Insert connectors to MOST terminator and push them towards each other to lock them inside.

7 Unplug MOST optical connector from ZGW module and terminate it using standard MOST loop terminator. In order to terminate MOST optical cable, disassemble it first and remove both optical pins from connector body. Insert connectors to MOST terminator and push them towards each other to lock them inside. Please note that without notice we may include different type of MOST loop terminator shown in the pictures below. This MOST terminator does not require cable disassembly prior to termination.

8 Plug one side of the extension MOST optical cable into ZGW module. Route MOST optical cable under the dashboard to where the head unit is located and plug the other end of the cable to Retrofit Adapter Module. Your retrofit adapter s MOST connector may have protective insert installed in the middle. Remove it prior to MOST cable connection if installed. STEP 4 Connect 12pin connector from PNP* wiring harness to the Retrofit Adapter Module. Make sure that connector plug is fully inserted into the 12 pin connector on the Retrofit Adapter Module. STEP 5 (NOT mandatory) This step is NOT mandatory and will not influence functionality of the Retrofit Adapter. This step can be completed at any time. In order to retain functionality of the PDC/HDC buttons on the center tunnel it is required to connect additional wires to the center tunnel switch. Disassemble and remove center tunnel cover. Locate PDC/HDC buttons switch assembly which has two connectors plugged in. One connector is 6 pin and other is 4 pin. Keep 6 pin connector plugged. That connector provides GND connection. Disconnect only 4 pin connector from buttons switch assembly and remove all wires from 4 pin connector plug.

9 Connect wire from pin 9 of retrofit adapter to pin1 of 4 pin connector. Connect wire from pin 10 of retrofit adapter to pin2 of 4 pin connector. Connect wire from pin 8 of retrofit adapter to pin3 of 4 pin connector. You may require to crimp new pins on to wires from retrofit adapter. Make sure that wires are properly connected and isolated. It is recommended to secure wires to each other with tie-ups. Warning! This step requires wire splicing and reconnection. It is important to properly isolate and secure all connections. This step must be done by professional with appropriate knowledge. STEP 6 Secure retrofit adapter module behind the dash using tie-ups or other type of mounting. Ensure that retrofit adapter module is secured and wiring attached to it is not blocking head unit path in the dash board. Normally at the back of the head unit tunnel in the dash board on the right or left side, there will be some opening. You may use that opening to install adapter. This will let you install head unit properly to the end of the tunnel.

10 STEP 7 USB/AUX in armrest, USB in glove box, microphone, BT antenna NBT (Evo) head unit incorporates inside both multimedia platform and a Combox (USB and Bluetooth). In order to be able to use AUX input and microphone, as well as USB connectors you will have to connect all of the existing wires (microphone, AUX, USB) to the back of the NBT (Evo). For pin out and other information (related to the existing modules: TCU, MULF or Combox) refer to the information below. If your vehicle is not equipped with a microphone, you may install it at this time and pass two wires from it to the back of the NBT(Evo). Pin out information for NBT(Evo) is provided below. If your vehicle is equipped with USB in the armrest or USB in the glove box (or both) you will need to pass wires from these USB connectors to the back of the NBT(Evo) as well. You need to connect BT antenna to the NBT unit. If you installing NBT Evo unit you also need to connect WiFi antenna to it. The BT antenna port has tan color and WiFi antenna port has dark red color. Same type of antenna can be used for both Bluetooth and WiFi. STEP 8 TCU, MULF, Combox If your vehicle is equipped with TCU, MULF or Combox you need to REMOVE these modules completely or fully disconnect these from MOST optical and electrical wiring. Also in this case, it is absolutely required to either add MOST loop terminator or disconnect and terminate any unused MOST connectors in the MOST hub. If you prefer to terminate (not disconnect them in the MOST hub) the MOST connectors using MOST loop terminators, contact the seller to see if MOST loop terminators are available as part of the wiring kit for your vehicle. These MOST loop terminators are not the part of the standard kit and they are NOT supplied with the FeNBT kit. If any MOST connectors are not properly terminated, your multimedia system in the vehicle will not work! Do not terminate more than one MOST connector in a row with use of MOST loop terminators. Instead disconnect these in the MOST hub.

13 AT THE BACK OF THE NBT AND NBT Evo HEADUNITS

14 STEP 9 (INSTALLING THE HEAD UNIT) Install your new head unit (NBT or NBT Evo) inside the dash board. Follow the procedure which was used to remove head unit initially from the dash board. Warning! Avoid installing retrofit adapter module in direct contact with hot surfaces (head unit, vehicle heater, etc) because excessive heat may damage retrofit adapter. IS CODING REQUIRED IN YOUR CASE? If your Retrofit Adapter was purchased as part of the complete NBT (or NBT EVO) kit, NBT (or NBT EVO) head unit will come pre-coded for your vehicle. Additional coding of the head unit will NOT be required, however, coding of your VEHICLE may be required (it can include KOMBI, Amplifier or another ECUs coding). In case your Retrofit Adapter was purchased separately (i.e. you bought your NBT or NBT EVO head unit from a third party), your head unit will need to be pre-coded for your vehicle in order to work correctly. Retrofit Adapter is required for the NBT/NBT EVO retrofit to work in pre-lci F-series, but it does NOT replace coding of NBT (NBT EVO) head unit. Contact the seller of your NBT/NBT EVO head unit to obtain instructions on the coding of your head unit to your vehicle. We provide minimal coding requirements list for NBT (Evo) to work correctly with FeNBT retrofit adapter. Warning! Head unit coding must only be done using direct IP address connection to head unit (DIAGADR63). Whenever ENET cable is connected to vehicle it is required to locate DIAGADR63 which is head unit s IP and connect to its address. Coding of head unit via DIAGADR10 (ZGW) is not currently supported.

15 Head unit LAN connection for coding NBT in vehicle with ZGW High If your vehicle is equipped with ZGW High (CIC was factory installed in vehicle) and you installing NBT headunit than you should be able to use ENET cable for headunit coding directly through OBDII port. Ignition must be ON at all times during coding. Connect ENET cable to vehicle and to DHCP router. Open up router control panel and find network device with name: DIAGADR63 this is your headunit. Use software (Esys) to connect with headunit. Have your FA file previously saved/prepared). Load up FA file and proceed with coding. Note that you will not be able to read FA from headunit thus FA must be prepared in separate file first. NBT Evo in vehicle with ZGW High If your vehicle is equipped with ZGW High (CIC was factory installed in vehicle) and you installing NBT Evo headunit than you should be able to use ENET cable for headunit coding directly through OBDII port. First however you need to modify your network connections in the back of headunit. NBT Evo has its network pins inside of separate OABR connector. You need to reroute four (4) wires from OABR port of NBT Evo to quadlock connector wires. Use diagram provided above. Ignition must be ON at all times during coding. Connect ENET cable to vehicle and to DHCP router. Open up router control panel and find network device with name: DIAGADR63 this is your headunit. Use software (Esys) to connect with headunit. Have your FA file previously saved/prepared). Load up FA file and proceed with coding. Note that you will not be able to read FA from headunit thus FA must be prepared in separate file first.

16 NBT Evo OABR network connector is located under quadlock. Locate the following 4 wires in NBT Evo headunit s quadlock conenctor plug at vehicle side and re-route these to OABR connector plug on the NBT Evo. NBT Headunit quadlock EVO OABR Connector NBT or NBT Evo in vehicle with ZGW Mid If your vehicle is not equipped with ZGW High (CIC was not factory installed in vehicle) and you installing NBT or NBT Evo headunit than you should be using dedicated LAN cable to connect your headunit to router. Build cable according to pnout below. For NBT Evo connect to OABR port and for NBT connect to OBD quadlock. Ignition must be ON at all times during coding. Connect LAN cable to headunit and to DHCP router. Open up router control panel and find network device with name: DIAGADR63 this is your headunit. Use software (Esys) to connect with headunit. Have your FA file previously saved/prepared). Load up FA file and proceed with coding. Note that you will not be able to read FA from headunit thus FA must be prepared in separate file first.

17 LAN network cable pinout Should you decide not to use OBDII port and connect your NBT (Evo) directly to LAN RG45 cable you may use the following diagram for both NBT and NBT Evo systems: RG45 LAN connector NBT Quadlock connector NBT Evo OABR Network connector For NBT only you must also connect Quadlock connector pin 29 to +12V via ~510 Ohm resistor. That will activate network adapter inside of NBT unit. There is no need to connect additional 5 th wire for NBT Evo connection. The following* minimal FDL coding settings are required for NBT and NBT Evo to work correctly with FeNBT retrofit adapter: GATEWAYTABLE: table_5 this is the gateway mode which FeNBT supports If NBT headunit with HW07 or 08 is installed it is acceptable to use table_0 instead. KOMBI_CIC: kombi_mid (basic cluster) or kombi_high (6WA or 6WB cluster) BASIS_KOMBI_MMI_LIST: aktiv EINHEITEN_MASTER: kombi_l6 COMMUNICATION_PARKMASTER: gen2 CAN_ANSCHLUSS_HEADUNIT: hu_an_body_can OELSTANDSMENUE: aktiv OELSTAND_OENS: nicht_aktiv (or aktiv both should be supported) VEHICLE_STATE_CONCEPT: conventional_clamp (this is only for NBT Evo) *This is short version of document for minimal coding instructions.
