Optimize the Strength of Your Professional Navigation
Upgrade your NBT Evo ID5/ID6 Navigation System to the Official Latest Road Map Version.
Those who own a BMW or MINI in the period between 2016 and 2019 are likely to have the highly praised NBT Evo ID5 or ID6 head unit. This system is the heart of the connectivity of your vehicle, and due to its easily identifiable interface, a Live Tile, and high-resolution widescreen display, it is simple to use.
Nonetheless, such features as Real-Time Traffic Information (RTTI), 3D City Models, and Efficient Dynamics coasting are quite dependent on the latest information. The old map is an indication that your advanced “Professional Navigation” system is trying to get you into the wrong path, using old history, without new highways and charging stations.
Maximize your technology. Get the Official Road Map EVO database upgrade and get the accuracy of your car back to factory-level.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ID5 and ID6?
ID5 has smaller menu tiles. ID6 has larger “Live” tiles. Both systems run on the exact same hardware and use the exact same Road Map EVO file. This product works for both.
Will this remove my Apple CarPlay?
No. Updating the map data is completely separate from your CarPlay activation. Your CarPlay will continue to work exactly as before.
Does this include the Lifetime Code?
Yes. For this specific product tier, we provide a Lifetime FSC Code by default, allowing you to install future updates without buying a code again.
My car is a 2016 model. Do I have ID4 or ID5?
2016 was the transition year. If your main menu has a vertical list, it is ID4. If it has horizontal tiles, it is ID5. Our VIN check verifies this automatically to ensure compatibility.

I got the BMW FSC Code NBT update for my F10 model, and the difference is amazing. The navigation is up-to-date, and I can use my iPhone apps directly on the screen. The Bimmer Navigation team really knows what they’re doing, five-star service!
