For the X5 and X6 with NBT EVO
This screen is for the BMW X5 F15 (2017-2018) and X6 F16 (2017-2019) with the NBT EVO system, and only works with that system. An NBT EVO radio usually has a 6-pin LVDS port and shows NBTevo_xxxx and Automatic map update in the version info. For NBT cars, which have a MEDIA button or touch pad on the iDrive controller, choose the XTRONS QLB42X5NB.
The Android side works alongside the car’s original system, and the CD player doesn’t need removing.
Wireless Apple CarPlay
CarPlay connects your iPhone without a cable, so maps, music and calls spread across the wide screen while the phone stays in your pocket.
Your iPhone connects on its own when you start the car, so there's no cable to plug in. It needs an iPhone with wireless CarPlay support; check yours in Settings > General > CarPlay. A cable still works when you'd rather charge on the way.
Wireless Android Auto
Android Auto connects wirelessly too, putting Google Maps and music apps on the screen in a layout made for driving.
Maps, calls, messages and music from your Android phone appear on the car screen, with Google Assistant for voice control. It needs a phone with Google services, which most Android phones have. To connect without a cable, the phone must support wireless Android Auto too.
14.9 inch QLED screen
The 14.9 inch QLED screen has a slim, fully-laminated design with a custom bezel and 2.5D edge, giving a full-screen look like BMW's newest models.
IPS panel
The IPS panel keeps the picture clear from both front seats, so the passenger can follow the map too.
Built-in 4G
Insert a SIM card and the built-in 4G module gives the unit its own data connection for navigation, video and games. A 4G antenna and SIM card slot are in the box.
A SIM card in the head unit gives it its own internet connection for maps, traffic and streaming, so it doesn't need your phone's hotspot. You supply the SIM and the data plan; a data-only SIM is usually the cheapest way to do it.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi lets the screen join a hotspot or your home network for app downloads and updates.
360 camera support
The unit supports a 360 camera system, which shows the area around the car on the wide screen when you're parking. The cameras are sold separately.
Connect a reversing camera and its picture appears on the screen when you select reverse. Automatic switching needs the reverse signal wired in. If your car already has a factory camera, check whether you need an adapter to keep it.
DSP sound
A built-in DSP lets you adjust how the sound is processed, so you can tune the audio to suit the cabin.
The sound processor lets you tune the sound to your car: an equaliser, a delay for each speaker so the sound centres on your seat, and crossovers that keep deep bass away from small speakers. Start from a preset and change one setting at a time.
RCA audio output
An RCA audio output lets you connect an external amplifier if you want to upgrade the sound later.
RCA pre-outputs send a clean, low-level signal to an external amplifier or subwoofer. Count the channels you need (front, rear and sub) against the outputs in the specifications. You'll also need RCA leads and power wiring for the amplifier.
Microphone
A mini microphone is included for hands-free calls and voice commands.
Screen mirroring
Screen mirroring puts your phone's display on the wide screen, useful for apps that don't run in CarPlay or Android Auto. It's best used when parked.
Mirroring shows your phone's whole screen on the car screen, unlike CarPlay and Android Auto, which show apps designed for driving. It usually needs a companion app on the phone, and paid video streaming apps often block it.
USB
A USB cable is supplied for connecting a phone or a USB drive with music and video.
Performance
A 12nm Octa-core chip (2xCortex-A75 2.0GHz + 6xCortex-A55) runs Android 13 with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 64GB solid state ROM, giving quick response with low power use.
