I love this. Usually these videos say 'simply remove the panel' which is impossible and skip to the next but when it would be easier to rebuild the car from scratch. This is a perfect example of everything you need to do. Cheers!

Lol, they just sell the latest BMW firmware. BMW "hacked" themselves fullscreen display, its not that some random persons did that. The only thing the hackers sold you is a nice installation screen and instructions. What your doing is flashing the headunit, which can also be done with E-sys. For zero cost. But, you need to be a bit more nerdy I guess.

From your video I can see that your car has NBT EVO, that is to say iDrive version 5.0. F30 BMWs built between March 2013 and July 2015 have NBT, i.e., iDrive 4.0. The difference is more than just updated software that replaces a list home menu with a tile home menu: NBT EVO cars are fitted with a new head unit that is actually physically smaller but has a bigger hard drive (500 gig instead of 200 gig) and a WLAN socket. What this means is that NBT cannot be upgraded to NBT EVO without replacing the head unit and that costs at least £1500, with fitting about £2000. 2017-on LCI cars got iDrive 6.0 with Apple Carplay, the 8.8 in screen as standard, and some (from 2018-on?) came with a touchscreen. It should be noted that Android Auto did not become available until the release of iDrive 7.0 in July 2020. In any case, the point I'm trying to make is that the upgrade illustrated in this video is not available on BMWs that come with iDrive 4.0 NBT, which for F30 cars means those that came out of the factory before July 2015.
