Retrofit navigation G30
Hi.
I have just got a 10 month old BMW 520d Touring G31, and it's born without navigation(Danish market). I know it's possible to retrofit, and i have seen that you can buy the parts(https://www.ebay.de/itm/162708789966), but what do i else need, when my car is build without navigation? Anyone who can help me? |

It is not worth it. Get apple car play cheap on eBay or 3 year subscription form BMW and access google map and Waze navigations that are far superior

Here in the US, navigation is standard.

Did you ever manage to get this done? I have a G30 without navigation as well (ex-demonstrator). I would love to have CarPlay, but according to BMW you need Navigation Professional to have CarPlay - it canīt be done with the "basic stereo", that my car has. How silly is that?! Why would you want CarPlay, if your car had navigation?
Is it possible somehow to get CarPlay (through USB) on the "normal stereo"? |

Thanks, I was told that by some other people too. I just donīt see the need for CarPlay if I had nav. In my previous cars (Skoda (VW)) I got CarPlay in the basic radios without nav., which made sense.

The point is BMW encourages people to buy more packages to get the options they want rather than a la carte.

I get that. But I still dont understand, that I need +8000$ of navigation just to get CarPlay. To me, CarPlay is the cheaper substitute for navigation

Hej GaSelle & to22
It all depends on your cars options, what you need to retrofit the navigation. Most of the BMW G30 models have bluetooth/handsfree for the phone. If you have that in your car, you also have the Ethernet in your car. You need Ethernet for your navi antenna. Iīm going to retrofit a NBT Evo in my G30 530D very soon. Donīt forget to buy the NBT Evo with Dab, because soon the FM stations will be history. Donīt forget that it also need to be coded after retrofitting. |
