Upgrading HU_NBT and touch controller retrofit
I found this post on retrofitting the touch controller to pre-LCI f10's:
Quote:
Has anyone upgraded their pre-LCI software? Is flashing the HU_NBT firmware the same as upgrading the idrive software, and does doing this require activation again, or does it just work? |

Write-up: I am not sure.
Firmware version in your car: you don't have the volume bar when adjusting the volume, Siri when pressing the voice command button (long press) etc. then your head unit isn't running the latest firmware. BMW put it on last summer I believe starting with 2014 year model cars. |

V12 - Do you know if the firmware for Siri Eyes-Free has been released yet? BMW said it would be a feature on 2014 cars, but release was supposed to be Q1.
BTW when I see eyes free - I mean the feature where the Siri prompts appear on the nav screen, whereas today you can get siri from the steering wheel button but you don't have the text on the screen.

No it hasn't yet as far as I know.
This was just announced today http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay .... I am sure you've seen. BMW isn't "ready" yet. |

People do not necessarely retrofit the new iDrive touch controller when upgrading the firmware in their head unit.
If you want the controller though/ are curious about it, here it is: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...08&hg=65&fg=50 - |

Hmm, I think I might update mine.
I don't want the touch controller, but SIRI and the volume bar would be nice to have. Any other differences @v12 ?

I hope BMW keeps iDrive. It has come a long way since 2006, and IMO is the best MMI in the auto industry. I would be fine with having something like "AirPlay" available as an iDrive ConnectedDrive App.. where you can send your maps, video, or screen to the iDrive display. It would be a shame if BMW favored iOS In The Car over iDrive.
