BMW 1 Series F20 F21 / BMW 2 Series F22 F23 NBT EVO Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit
This retrofit interface is designed for BMW 1 Series F20 F21 and BMW 2 Series F22 F23 equipped with the original NBT EVO system. It upgrades the factory display with modern smartphone integration while keeping the OEM screen, iDrive controller, and original vehicle interface.
After installation, the system gives your BMW a more current in-car experience with easier access to navigation, music, communication, camera display, and connected phone apps, all without replacing the original head unit.
Why Upgrade the Original NBT EVO System
The factory BMW NBT EVO system is stable and well integrated, but many vehicles from this generation no longer meet current infotainment expectations. Owners often want a more convenient way to use navigation apps, stream music, handle calls, and connect their phones without changing the factory dashboard layout.
This upgrade is built for drivers who prefer to keep the OEM look while adding the functions commonly used in newer vehicles.
Main Upgrade Benefits
Once installed, the interface adds:
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Wireless Android Auto
GPS navigation display through your phone
Bluetooth calling and audio streaming
Backup camera input
Screen mirroring
Split screen support
WiFi connectivity for supported app functionsThe system works through the factory display and is operated by the original iDrive controls, which helps preserve the clean BMW interior style and familiar user experience.
Better Daily Usability
Compared with the original setup, this upgrade makes the vehicle more practical for everyday driving. Navigation becomes easier to use through familiar mobile apps with live traffic and updated maps. Music, calls, and messages are more accessible, and the camera input adds convenience when parking or reversing.
For many drivers, this is a more sensible solution than replacing the entire factory screen, since it keeps the original integration and avoids an overly aftermarket appearance.
Retains the BMW OEM Experience
A key advantage of this retrofit is that it works with the original system rather than replacing it. The factory screen remains in place, the iDrive controller continues to handle operation, and the dashboard keeps its stock appearance.
This makes the upgrade especially suitable for BMW owners who want newer media functions without losing the original interior design language.
