By the way, I almost forgot to mention: if you don't care about the GPS connectivity you can obviously get a less rare (and way cheaper) NBT Evo without the connector. But I like the idea of retaining the original navigation next to CarPlay, since sometimes my phone may not have network.
Either that or you get that ATM module and go through the painful GPS-to-ATM-through-OABR-to-NBT wiring.
By the way, ATM will need to stay with its original VIN or it will brick itself permanently. That means the NBT Evo will also need to match that VIN (so you will need to VO-code the NBT with E-Sys with that foreign VIN from the ATM). In this case, for the NBT to communicate gracefully with the other ECU's you will need to install a VIN activator (which essentially is a message filter) between the Quad lock harness from your car to the Quadlock harness of the NBT.
Sounds really crazy but this is all much clearer once you get your hands dirty on this project. There's also a really good video about NBT+ATM retrofit by the mighty Nikolas Gorke. It's on an F30 but the process is identical. Just don't take his coding steps word for word because for you, coming from a pre-LCI F22 it'll be a little different.

Honestly dude, thank you so much for your help with all of this - I would be so confused otherwise haha. I have just found this from the same supplier and given all of the work I would need to do it doesn't seem all that bad a price to have some coding pre done? I would love to learn coding but it looks as though it wouldn't even save me much money in the end. I am definitely not bothered about that ATM module fuss, seems like too much work for something I won't require/utilise all that much.

Correct me if I am wrong but this bundle does not seem badly priced given how much the other components would cost me alone unless I have missed something on the listing, I realise it is not a touch screen panel - again, I am unsure how much I would use this anyways, have you found yourself actually using your touch screen often or moreso using the controller?
