It is very simple. If your car has Combox (either HU_CIC + CMB_MEDIA or HU_NBT or HU_ENTRYNAV) then you can have EBT.

To get EBT, you need only do as I wrote here

That's it.

They already knew I was looking for EBT on the car. I have HU_NBT.

OK, I understand most of that, but my question is regarding what ECU to code at the end? You say the HU_NBT ECU? Is that easily found?

Apologies if I am missing something obvious here, I havent connected to the car yet.

Thanks,

Apologies if I am missing something obvious here.

Thanks,

You VO Code HU_NBT.

Yes, I see now. I havent connected to the car yet but I see that the SVT step brings up the list of ECU's which I guess is where the HU_NBT will be.

I wanted to know exactly what I was doing before I started anything. Thanks for your info.

Shawn,

One extra question please.

How long does the ebt upgrade process take, approximately? I have seen other posts about flashing ecu's where it is recommended that the engine is running or a battery charger attached. Is that required for the ebt upgrade?

Ta,

Ta,

EBT takes maybe 5 minutes to run the car. Point of running the motor though is to ensure adequate voltage on ECU's during coding. Don't leave it up to your battery. If voltage drops too low while writing data to ECU, you will corrupt the CAFD.

I have not been able to try out coding yet, as I waiting for a cable. However, as well as the excellent advice in this thread, the following F30 thread provides similar information:

Well, I now have EBT, hurrah!!

Everything went smoothly and exactly as per instructions apart from the very last stage of coding to the ECU (when it got a bit nervy).

When clicking on the Coding tile I had a box pop up saying that the FA had been changed by another module, and did I want to load it, not load it or Cancel. I decided to load it.

Then when Read FA (VO), in the VO window it came up with something like 'cant read, need to update'.

Anyway, I still activated the FA, found HU-NBT under SVT and selected Code. It all went in ok and is working.

One thing on Bluetooth streaming from the phone, I cant access the folder structure or album contents etc. It only seems to play individual songs with the only option being next or previous tracks. I may need to look at this more but is this normal (i.e much fewer music navigation option than when reading directly from USB)?

Cheers,

Unless you have HU_NBT, then that is normal.

Sorry, thats not clear to me. I do have HU_NBT, so that is not normal?

With NBT, and >=50.4 firmware, you should be able to Browse via BT.

In HU_NBT, set these to akitv:

ENT_BTAS_BROWSING
ENT_BTAS_IAP_COVERART
ENT_BTAS_METADATA

Thanks will do. Probably a stupid question but how do I establish the firmware of HU_NBT?

Read I-Step Current from car VCM and cross-reference it to ISTA/P version.

You have lost me a bit there Shawn. I get the I-Step from the VCM window in Esys when connected to car? Where do I get the ISTA/P info from?

What is I-Step Current?

I think you are screwed. Your firmware is too old. F025-13-07-505 = 50.3.

Oh OK. Is it worth making those changes you suggested in post 1847 or is there no point with 50.3?

Is there an option to update the firmware, however this may well be beyond my confidence levels.

Cheers,

You can try, but I am not sure those FDL Codes even exist in your older firmware.

You can Flash NBT with new firmware with E-Sys.

I am trying to add BMW LIVE(I do not need INTERNET) to my X3 but so far without success!

my VO:
1CA,1CC,1CD,216,223,230,248,249,258,2K8,2PA,2TB,2V G,
2XA,302,316,319,322,358,3AT,3XL,402,420,423,428,43 0,

6NK,6VC,863,877,8A1,8AT,8KA,8TL,8TN,925

i have coded:
CONNECTED_DRIVE->aktiv
ONLINE_BROWSER_LIVE->aktiv
ONLINE_BROWSER = nur_bmw_internet_aktiv
DUN_PROFILE->aktiv
PAN_PROFILE->aktiv
BT_DATA_SERVICE - Aktiv

during switching on BMW LIVE from MENU i have message: "Activate data services for Bluetooth device or contact Service"

btw during phone(SONY M4) pairing i do not have any option for bluetooth data transfer, only PHONE and AUDIO!

any idea how to solve it
================================================== ===========
SOLVED
================================================== ===========
during adding 6AL i missed ECU coding, NOW Bmw Live is working...
