Is my NBT screen compatible with NBT Evo ID6 headunit

hajar · 03-26-2021, 05:11 PM

Trying to buy used NBT Evo ID6 headunit to replace my NBT ID4 one. Seller on eBay is telling me that I also need to buy a screen. Allegedly my NBT screen is not compatible with NBT Evo ID6, I will require some adaptor cable, but even with that I may have black screen from time to time. This of course doubles the price of the whole upgrade for me. Does anyone have any experience with it and any can assure me either way?

There is a user named HugoNZ on the 6 series forum who knows all about this stuff. You should PM him.

NBT evo can work with NBT screen using voltage converter, NBT is not compatible with NBT evo screen, the reason is simple NBT works with APIX1 and NBT EVO with APIX2. NBT Evo can be coded to APIX1 or APIX2, NBT cannot be coded to APIX2 only APIX1

The problem with voltage converter is that from time to time it will cause black screen and will require NBTEvo restart. So while NBT Evo can be coded to work with APIX1 screen the experience won't be smooth.
