Extended Head Unit Compatibility

BMW Language Tool now supports three head-unit configurations:

• NBT ID3

• NBT EVO ID4 

• NBT EVO ID5 / ID6

Simply select your head-unit type from the dropdown menu. 

Flexible Installation Methods

Choose the connection method that best suits your setup:

• Wired ENET – Install additional iDrive languages directly using an ENET cable, without a USB drive.

• Remote ENET – Perform language installations remotely using TurboCode Proxy, ideal for remote coding, retrofit services, and professional BMW workshops.

Both methods provide connection verification, progress indicators, and clear status information throughout the process.

Automatic Backup and Restore

Your original iDrive language is automatically backed up before the first replacement.

The backup is preserved on the head unit, even when switching between different languages.

Use the built-in Restore Original function to return to your original language whenever needed, provided the saved backup remains available, without manually locating or modifying system files.

Simple 4-Step Installation

The entire language installation process is designed to be fast and straightforward:

• Step 1 – Select Head Unit: Choose NBT ID3, NBT EVO ID4, or NBT EVO ID5/ID6.

• Step 2 – Check SSH: Connect to your vehicle and verify SSH connectivity.

• Step 3 – Select Language: Choose your preferred language from the 23 available options, including Cyrillic variants.

• Step 4 – Apply Language: Click Apply Language and let the software complete the installation.

No complicated configuration or manual file preparation is required.

Multilanguage Interface

BMW Language Tool supports 11 application interface languages:

English, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian, and Simplified Chinese.

Change the application interface language directly from the menu. Your preference is automatically saved for future sessions.

The application interface language is independent of the iDrive language selected for installation.
