Free NBT EVO Android Auto Installer

NBTEvo Android Auto Installer is a free Windows application developed by TurboCode to simplify the installation and updating of Android Auto on compatible NBT EVO and iDrive 6 head units.

The application eliminates the need to manually download release files, extract archives, transfer files, or execute installation commands.

Designed to simplify deployment of the independent NBT-AAD project, the installer downloads the required files directly from the official GitHub repository and handles their installation automatically.

How Does It Work?

The installation process consists of three straightforward steps.

Step 1: Check Connection

Connect your Windows computer to the vehicle using an ENET cable or through TurboCode Proxy.

Click Check if SSH is open to verify communication with the head unit.

SSH access must already be enabled. If needed, the TurboCode BMW NBT / NBT EVO SSH Unlocker can enable access on supported head units.

Step 2: Download Android Auto Files

Click Download latest release.

The application automatically downloads the required Android Auto executable and plugin files from the official GitHub Installer release.

The downloaded archive is extracted and verified automatically. No manual downloads, ZIP extraction, or USB drive preparation are required.

Step 3: Apply Android Auto

Click Apply Android Auto.

The application transfers the necessary files to the head unit, handles an existing installation when applicable, and verifies the installed files.

After successful installation, the application requests an iDrive restart to apply the changes.

System Requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer.

• Compatible NBT EVO / iDrive 6 head unit.

• ENET cable for wired installation or TurboCode Proxy for remote connections.

• Active internet connection for downloading Android Auto files.

• Existing Apple CarPlay capability, as currently required by the upstream NBT-AAD project.

• Compatible Android smartphone.

• Stable vehicle power during installation.
