Android Auto for your BMW with NBT navigation

Android Auto on the original BMW navigation system – no new head unit, no conversion. This is where you register for the beta test.

Starting in a few days. This is the registration. Please do not install anything in your car yet – you will get all the details as soon as it begins.

Free – feedback for software

The beta test costs you nothing. Everyone who gives feedback during the test receives the final software free of charge as a thank-you.

What you need for the beta test

1
A BMW with NBT and an Android smartphoneAndroid Auto runs on the original navigation system with your Android phone.
2
A computer running Windows, macOS or LinuxIt runs our application, which takes care of the installation.
3
An ENET cable (Ethernet to OBD)Connects the computer to your car's OBD port. You need to provide the cable yourself.

How beta testers are selected

More people have registered interest than there are places in the beta test, so we cannot give everyone a place.

Selection is based solely on the hardware installed. Our goal is to cover the full range of NBT hardware versions – only then can we make sure the finished product runs reliably in every car later on.

We are especially looking for testers who:

drive a lot and really use the system day to day
enjoy giving detailed feedback whenever they notice something – bugs, stutters or ideas for improvement

Not selected?

No problem: everyone who registers and does not get a beta place automatically receives an early-bird discount on the finished product.

How the installation works if you are selected

A look ahead: please do not start until you have received the go-ahead from us.

What you should have ready

An ENET cable (Ethernet to OBD) – you need to provide this yourself
A computer running Windows, macOS or Linux with an Ethernet port (or adapter)

How the installation works

Park the car – the car has to stay parked for the whole installation.
Switch on the ignition.
Download and install our application.
Connect the computer to the OBD port with the ENET cable.
Enter your code – after selection you will find your personal code in your account here on this site.
Done – the application takes care of the rest of the installation automatically.

Safety

The installation cannot permanently damage your head unit. And should something go wrong after all: via the ENET cable and our application we can fully reset your head unit to its original state remotely at any time.

We are looking forward to the start.
