4 INSTALLATION OF NBT Evo GPS MODULE STEP 1 Remove NBT Evo head unit ( head unit ) from its position (but do not disconnect any of the wiring just yet). This will require you to remove some plastic trim on your dashboard and unscrew appropriate screws. Depending on the model of your BMW, you may need to switch transmission to Drive position, before removing the head unit (to give more space to maneuver). We also recommend that you place some protective blanket on the center console trim, to avoid possible scratches and dents. PNP Harness version installation steps (for all BMW F series) (skip to non-pnp harness version installation below if your version is non-pnp) STEP 2 1. Locate the main quadlock harness at the back of the head unit, as shown on the picture. Note that the colors of the wires connected to the harness may vary from one vehicle to another. Headunit in picture is shown for reference only.

5 2. Disconnect the quad lock connector from head unit and take a quick look at it. 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 GPS module 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 the two optical cables. 4. Now re-plug this optical connector into the same position of the GPS PNP quadlock harness.

6 5. Connect the Main quadlock connector harness into the opposite end of the GPS PNP quadlock harness. STEP 3 Connect 12pin connector from PNP wiring harness to the GPS Receiver module. Make sure that connector plug is fully inserted in to the 12 pin connector at the GPS Receiver module. Non-PNP Harness version installation steps (whenever PNP harness does not fit) (skip this to STEP5 if your module is PNP) Non-PNP wiring is used when there is no way to fit PNP harness due to other PNP harnesses already installed between vehicle quadlock and headunit. For example in E series vehicles where PNP Plug version of enbt adapter is already installed.

7 STEP 4 Connect wires from non-pnp harness of GPS Receiver pin 1 to GND and pin2 to +12V supply. Connect wires from non-pnp harness of GPS Receiver pin 3 to CAN Low and pin 4 to CAN High lines. You may use wires at vehicle side quadlock connector: pin 12 for GND and pin 15 for +12V, pin 9 for CAN Low and pin 11 for CAN High. Make sure that wires are properly connected and isolated. It is recommended to secure wires to each other with tie-ups. Warning! GPS Receiver module may be configured for CAN 100kbit or CAN 500kbit speeds. When connecting CAN lines from non-pnp harness make sure to connect to appropriate CAN speed lines. For all E series BMWs when connecting to vehicle side quadlock connector make sure that GPS Receiver configured for CAN bus 100kbit speed. If connecting CAN lines to enbt adapter CAN2 side (headunit side) make sure that GPS Receiver configured for CAN bus 500kbit speed. STEP 5 Secure GPS Receiver module behind the dash with use of tie-ups or other type of mounting. Ensure that GPS Receiver 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 the GPS Receiver. This will let you install head unit properly to the end of the tunnel.

8 STEP 6 Connect OABR connector to NBT Evo OABR port. STEP 7 (RE-INSTALLING THE HEAD UNIT) Re-install your head unit inside the dash board. Follow the procedure which was used to remove headunit initially from the dash board. Warning! Avoid installing GPS Receiver module in direct contact with hot surfaces (head unit, vehicle heater, etc) because excessive heat may damage GPS Receiver. IS CODING REQUIRED IN YOUR CASE? If your GPS Receiver module is purchased together with the NBT Evo kit, its functionality should already be coded by BIMMER RETROFIT into the headunit. There is no need for additional coding, unless otherwise is stated by seller.

9 In case if your GPS Receiver retrofit adapter is purchased separately, there might be some coding required to have GPS feature working with NBT Evo. Please note that Evo headunit should be coded to your vehicle options list for proper functionality. The following two options must be coded in NBT Evo to switch it to external GPS mode: TELEMATIC_ECU: atm SYSTEM_GPS_RECEIVER: nicht_aktiv PNP Module Utility installation and use 1.
