Add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a compatible BMW equipped with the NBT or NBT ID4 multimedia system while retaining the original display, dashboard appearance and iDrive controls.
This premium version transfers sound through the vehicle’s MOST fibre-optic network instead of the analogue AUX input, helping preserve the original audio-system quality.
Navigation, music, calls, messages and supported smartphone apps appear on the original BMW screen, while the factory iDrive menu, steering-wheel controls, parking sensors and compatible cameras remain available.
Keep the factory screen and familiar iDrive controls while adding wireless smartphone functions without routing the sound through AUX.
Connect a compatible phone wirelessly through Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth or use USB when a wired connection is required.
Apple CarPlay provides navigation, calls, messages, music and Siri voice control through the original BMW display.
Wireless Apple CarPlay works with supported iPhones running iOS 10 or newer.

Telegram
Telegram can provide supported messaging functions through Android Auto, including spoken notifications and voice replies. Availability depends on the phone, app version and Android Auto support.
The module is connected to the BMW optical ring and uses the CD-changer audio channel. This avoids the analogue AUX connection used by many standard CarPlay retrofit modules.
The MOST version uses the orange optical cable instead of a standard analogue AUX lead.
Example of the optical-loop connection used for the CD-changer audio channel.
The module uses the existing BMW display instead of replacing it with an aftermarket screen. The original dashboard layout, screen housing and iDrive controller remain in place.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto appear directly on the factory display, while the original BMW iDrive menu can be reopened whenever vehicle settings, radio or factory multimedia functions are needed.
The interface is controlled through the original iDrive rotary controller, steering-wheel buttons or connected phone.
Compatibility depends on the original NBT or NBT ID4 multimedia system, not only the vehicle model year. Model-year transitions can overlap, so the iDrive menu should always be checked before ordering.
Check the appearance of the original iDrive menu before ordering. The supported NBT / NBT ID4 system uses the classic list-style menu. The newer NBT EVO ID5 / ID6 tile menu requires another product.
Use this comparison to confirm that the vehicle has the NBT generation rather than CCC or CIC.
The tile-style NBT EVO ID5 / ID6 menu is not compatible with this NBT / NBT ID4 version.
The MOST module uses the BMW CD-changer audio channel. The required configuration depends on whether the vehicle already has a factory CD changer.
The MOST interface uses the CD-changer source. When you return to FM radio, the CarPlay or Android Auto display and audio channel are closed.
For radio listening inside CarPlay or Android Auto, use an online-radio application such as TuneIn.
Operate CarPlay and Android Auto through the original iDrive rotary controller, steering-wheel buttons or connected phone.
The original BMW iDrive menu remains available whenever vehicle settings, FM radio or factory multimedia functions are required.
Selecting reverse gear automatically returns the display to the original rear camera or parking-sensor information.
Compatible optional front and rear cameras can also be connected.
The module is not suitable for CCC, CIC or NBT EVO ID5 / ID6. Confirm the original iDrive menu before ordering.
Also check whether CDC coding is present and whether a factory CD changer must be bypassed with the optical loop.
Wireless Apple CarPlay works with supported iPhones running iOS 10 or newer.
Wireless Android Auto works with most supported Android phones running Android 10 or newer. Older supported phones and Huawei devices using Android 10 / EMUI 10 may require USB.
The module retains the compatible original BMW parking display and automatically switches to it when reverse gear is selected.
The first video demonstrates the interface in a BMW F10 with NBT. The second video shows a similar NBT MOST installation.
This module adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to compatible BMW vehicles equipped with NBT or NBT ID4 while retaining the original display, iDrive controller and dashboard appearance.
Audio is transferred through the MOST fibre-optic network rather than AUX. The original BMW menu, steering-wheel controls, parking sensors and compatible camera functions remain available.
Before ordering, confirm the NBT / NBT ID4 menu and the vehicle’s CDC configuration. If a factory CD changer is installed, it will be bypassed and no longer available. Professional installation and coding preparation are recommended.

Cheaper does not always mean better. Not all CarPlay solutions are the same.
The real difference becomes clear when price is not the only factor, but also
experience, professional installation, and reliable support when you need it.
