Make sure you get one that is HW version 4.1 to ensure smooth id6 operation. If you don't already have an EVO then you'll need an ATM unit, if you purchase this wiring harness then hardware install is 100% plug and play: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F-SERIE...Y/163330868386

Coding is required but it's not super hard if you're already familiar with e-sys.

Several in UK do excellent work coding remotely.

I already have NBT-evo 4, do I still need the wiring loom?

No. But you may need to run a GPS extension from the HU to the ATM depending on how yours is wired.

iDrive 6 HU units do not have a GPS connector on the rear.

Sorry educate me, may have to run a GPS extension from HU to the ATM which is in the trunk/boot correct? Depending on how mine is wired.

My HU is the NBT-evo 4 so will have the GPS connector on correct?

If I put a new HU (iD6 HW 4.1) your saying it won’t have a connector on the back correct? So where would I run my GPS cable from the rear trunk/boot?

Sorry just trying to work it all out before I make the plunge

There are ID6 units with gps connector, they are from g30's usually.

The iDrive 4 you have might have the GPS cable run to the HU or might be run to the ATM. You would need to check either the back of the HU to see if it's plugged in there or look at the ATM to see if plugged in there. The ATM is easier to check without pulling pulling apart the dash.

If it's not plugged into ATM, you essentially need an extension cord in layman's term to run from the connector in the dash to the plug on the ATM.
