30 .**WARNING**

This may or may not be applicable to you. Proceed at your own risk ! Since I didn’t have Harman Kardon Audio. I had to splice the cable to enable audio with a pair of plyers.

31.We will perform a wire jump. Cut a bit of the cable from Pin 13 and Pin 15. Wrap the unsheathed copper wires around each other forming a bond., make sure it’s firmly wrapped to avoid short circuiting. Mine isn’t done very well, So I recommend if you know a auto electrician have them assist you.

32.Now wrap the cable in heat shrink or electrical tape, which ever you prefer.

33.Connect the extended harness to the original one in the car, Female to Male.

34.Once all the cables have been inserted, insert the NBT Head Unit back into position.

35.In the boot of the car lift the cargo liner out of the way and it should reveal the CANBUS. Disconnect all the cables from CANBUS.

37.Turn on the ignition to test the NBT iDrive before attaching all the screws and trim.

38.Now connect your OBDII Cable to the OBDII port on the vehicle. Code the new NBT values with E-sys & PSdZData. Consult a coder or a friend for assistance to update the new values.

39.Installation is complete. Now sit back and admire your hard work.
