The XTRONS QLB42FVNB is a 14.9 inch Android 13 screen for the BMW 5 Series F10/F11 (2013-2016) with the original NBT system. It adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto and built-in 4G, and works alongside the car's own system without removing the CD player.
- 14.9 inch fully laminated screen with a custom bezel and 2.5D edge
- Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto
- Built-in 4G module with a SIM card slot
- 12nm octa-core chip with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 64GB ROM
- Keeps the original system and CD player
- Supports a 360 camera
Made for the F10 and F11 with NBT
This unit only works with the original BMW NBT system. NBT usually has a 6-pin LVDS port, a MEDIA button or touch pad on the iDrive controller, and a BMW ConnectedDrive interface, although the ConnectedDrive screen alone doesn't prove it's NBT.
For CIC cars, see the XTRONS QLB42FVCI. For a G30/G31 with NBT EVO, see the QAB12EVB12FVN.
The Android screen sits alongside the car's original system, and the CD player doesn't need to come out.
Wireless CarPlay
CarPlay connects to your iPhone without a cable, putting maps, music and messages on the 14.9 inch screen as soon as you're in the car.
Wireless Android Auto
Android Auto also connects wirelessly, with Google Maps, music apps and calls on the wide display.
14.9 inch QLED screen
The 14.9 inch QLED screen is fully laminated, with a custom bezel and a 2.5D edge for a full-screen look in the dashboard. QLED gives strong, rich colour on maps and video.
IPS viewing angles
The IPS panel holds its colours when seen from the side, so the passenger can follow the map or pick music too.
Built-in 4G
Insert a SIM card and the unit has its own 4G connection for navigation, video and online apps, without using your phone as a hotspot. A 4G antenna is in the box.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi lets the unit join a home network or hotspot for downloads and streaming.
DSP
The DSP lets you adjust the sound to suit the car's speakers and the driver's seat.
RCA audio output
An RCA audio output lets you connect an external amplifier or subwoofer.
Screen mirroring
Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the head unit, handy for apps outside CarPlay and Android Auto.
USB
A USB cable is included for connecting a phone or USB device.
Microphone
A mini microphone comes in the box for hands-free calls and voice commands.

- BMW 5 Series (1995 onwards)
- For BMW 5 Series F10/F11 (2013-2016) NBT System Vehicles
- This unit ONLY works with the original BMW NBT system.
The unit fits with the ISO wiring harness, audio cable, fix mount, face panel and screws in the box, and the CD player stays in place. Sound plays through the car's AUX input, which must be switched on. If your car has no AUX input, you'll need an FM transmitter, such as the XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02 or CA/ITR/FM03.
How do I know if my 5 Series has NBT?
NBT usually has a 6-pin LVDS port and a MEDIA button or touch pad on the iDrive controller. A ConnectedDrive screen on its own doesn't confirm it.
Which unit do I need for CIC or a G30?
The XTRONS QLB42FVCI for CIC cars, and the QAB12EVB12FVN for a G30/G31 with NBT EVO.
What if my car has no AUX input?
You'll need an FM transmitter such as the XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02 or CA/ITR/FM03.
Do I have to remove the CD player?
No, the original CD player stays.
