BMW NBT EVO ATM Emulator: Unlock Navigation & More for ID4/5/6 Upgrades

Upgrading your BMW’s head unit to the advanced NBT EVO system brings a wealth of modern features, but it can also introduce complexities, especially in F-Series models not initially equipped with a GPS receiver. The BMW NBT EVO ATM Emulator is expertly designed to bridge this gap, ensuring a seamless integration and unlocking the full potential of your EVO ID4, ID5, or ID6 system without the hassle of installing a separate ATM ECU (Automotive Telematics Module).

Key Features of the BMW NBT EVO ATM Emulator

This meticulously engineered module is packed with features to ensure your BMW NBT EVO retrofit is not just functional, but also enhances your driving experience:

  • Effortless Installation: Designed with simplicity in mind, the emulator boasts a straightforward installation process, minimizing downtime and complexity. Get your system up and running quickly and efficiently.
  • Full EVO ID5/6 Functionality: Experience the complete suite of features offered by EVO ID5 and ID6 systems. This emulator ensures you’re not missing out on any functionalities due to the absence of a native ATM module.
  • Navigation Activation at Your Fingertips: Unleash the power of navigation on any EVO hardware version. Enjoy precise and reliable navigation, making every journey smoother and more informed. This feature is crucial for utilizing the full capabilities of your upgraded head unit.
  • Comprehensive Car Options Support: Maintain and even enhance your BMW’s existing functionalities. The emulator seamlessly supports a wide array of car options, including sport engine power indicators, night vision system, camera driver assistance systems (KAFAS), high beam assistant, speed limit information, and surround camera system. It expertly handles protocol matching between KAFAS1 and HU EVO.
  • Video in Motion (VIM) Enabled: Keep your passengers entertained on long drives with the Video in Motion feature. This allows for video playback while the vehicle is in motion, adding an extra layer of entertainment (where legally permissible and safe).
  • Navigation FSC Activation: Simplifying the retrofit process further, the navigation activation function allows for the activation of pre-loaded FSC navigation codes when retrofitting EVO. This streamlines the setup and gets your navigation system operational without unnecessary complications.
  • Built-in SVS Voice Control Activation: Take command with your voice. The emulator activates the built-in SVS voice control, allowing for hands-free operation of various system functions, enhancing safety and convenience.
  • Integrated GPS Module: At the heart of the emulator is a built-in GPS module. This is prewired with an OABR connection to directly feed GPS data to your EVO head unit, eliminating the need for external GPS solutions and ensuring accurate positioning.
  • BMW ATM Module Emulation: The core function of this module is to accurately emulate the original BMW ATM module for GPS data. This clever emulation ensures seamless communication and functionality with the EVO system, as if a genuine ATM module were present.
  • Gyro Protocol Data Conversion: Specifically designed for pre-facelift BMW cars undergoing EVO retrofit, the emulator includes gyro protocol data conversion. This crucial feature ensures compatibility and correct operation in older models.
  • Sport Displays Protocol Matching: For enthusiasts who appreciate performance data, the emulator ensures correct protocol matching for the accurate functioning of Sport Displays. Keep track of your BMW’s performance metrics seamlessly on your upgraded EVO screen.

BMW NBT EVO ATM Emulator Installation Guidance

Understanding the status indicators on your emulator is key to a smooth installation and operation:

  • Initial Binding: Upon its first power-up in your BMW, the module uniquely binds to your car. This means it cannot be transferred and used in another vehicle once initialized. Ensure this module is intended for the specific car it is being installed in.
  • Status Indicators: The “CAN” and “ETH” indicators provide real-time feedback on the module’s operation. In normal operation:
    • The “CAN” indicator should blink at approximately 10Hz, reflecting normal CAN bus activity.
    • The “ETH” indicator should emit short, single flashes at a frequency of about 1Hz.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • No “CAN” Indication: If the “CAN” indicator is inactive, immediately check the CAN wires. Verify they are correctly and reliably connected to the CAN buses of both your car and the head unit.
    • No “ETH” Indication: If the “ETH” indicator is not flashing, inspect the OABR wires. Ensure they are properly and securely connected to the OABR bus of the head unit.
  • Boot Mode: When connected to a computer solely via USB, the module enters Boot mode. This is indicated by both LEDs blinking alternately in double flash series. Boot mode is used for firmware updates and module programming.
  • Normal Operation: In its standard operating state, the emulator functions as a BMW ATM ECU emulator. It receives signals from its built-in GPS receiver and transmits this essential data to the head unit, ensuring accurate navigation and location-based services. Additional features can be configured using the module’s switches, offering a degree of customization.
