Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented head unit is responsible for the central control of infotainment functions in the BMW F20 and F30 LCI, including radio operation, satellite navigation, media, and integration with the iDrive interface. As an element of the Harman NBT EVO system, it works with other onboard modules, ensuring consistent operation of the display, controller, and audio system. Using an original controller allows for maintaining compatibility with factory software and the car's CAN/FlexRay network architecture.

Application in BMW F20 and F30 LCI series

This multimedia unit is dedicated to BMW 1 Series F20 and 3 Series F30 LCI facelift models in configurations equipped with the Harman system and the NBT EVO platform. Installing the correct module from the same family ensures:
