Hey guys, looking at doing this upgrade as well for my 2016

Here's the parts list I've purchased so far.. Is there anything else I'm missing? I plan to have Alex at AlpineMSS do the coding and I already have a enet to OBD2 adapter.

1. Purchased the Bimmertech adapter plate for the 10.25 screen

2. Purchased this 10.25 screen from ebay:

3. Purchased updated (latest?) NBT Evo 4.1 HW:

4. Wifi antenna adapter for wireless carplay:

TIA!

Just completed this retrofit. Loving carplay and the bigger touch screen. Coming from a 2016 I had to upgrade pretty much everything including the Headunit. I also had to bite the bullet and pay for Bimmertech coding to make sure everything was as compatible as possible. Coding was the most expensive part since Bimmer-tech was the only ones who could do it. Overall very happy with esp since it's OEM+ parts. Attached some photos for you guys interested..

I’m considering doing this upgrade as well. Assuming I upgrade to HW4.1, is android auto also supported in addition to CarPlay?

It’s not.
EVO doesn’t support it
