NBT Tools — free utilities for NBT Evo

The "My Vehicle → NBT Tools" menu on the built-in screen: small handy functions that used to need a laptop. Free — with any Wayglass product or on its own.

  • Right in the car menu
  • No laptop needed
  • Everything can be undone
How to get itDownload the installer
  • The NBT Evo home screen: the "My Vehicle" tile shows an own picture, a white BMW X5.
  • The "Own vehicle picture" screen: series F15, own picture in place, the file on the USB stick fits; buttons "Install from USB", "Restore factory picture", "Reboot NBT".

What the menu has today. New tools arrive with Wayglass updates.

Own vehicle picture

A photo of your car instead of the standard BMW picture on the "My Vehicle" screen. The factory picture is kept in the head unit and comes back with one button.

The file you need

  • A PNG of exactly 378×243 pixels.
  • RGBA colour, 8 bits per channel, not interlaced — almost every editor saves PNG this way. A car on a transparent background looks best, like the factory picture.
  • No larger than 4 MB.
  • Named nbt-hero.png, in the root of the USB stick, not in a folder.
Make the picture from your photo
  1. 1Copy nbt-hero.png to the root of a FAT32 USB stick and plug it into the car.
  2. 2Open "My Vehicle → NBT Tools → Own vehicle picture". The top line shows the vehicle series and which picture is in place; below it — whether the file on the stick fits.
  3. 3Press "Install from USB" and wait for "Your picture is installed".
  4. 4Press "Reboot NBT" and confirm. After the restart, your picture is on the "My Vehicle" screen.
  • To go back, press "Restore factory picture" on the same screen and reboot the NBT.
  • The menu takes the vehicle series from the head unit coding — there is nothing to choose.
  • Works with the ID6 interface. On head units with the ID5 interface this function does not change the picture.
  • If the file does not fit, the menu says what is wrong: size, format or a damaged file. The head unit is left unchanged.

Reboot NBT

Restarts the head unit with its own built-in command — no need to hold the volume button. Handy when a function asks for a restart.

  1. 1Open "My Vehicle → NBT Tools → Reboot NBT".
  2. 2Confirm with "Yes, reboot". Navigation, phone and music stop while the head unit starts again — about a minute.

How to get NBT Tools

The menu is free and updates together with Wayglass. There are two ways to install it.

With any Wayglass product

NBT Tools is installed together with CarPlay → HUD, Android Auto and Diagnostics — from a computer or a USB stick. If Wayglass is already in your car, the menu arrives with the next update.

Without a purchase — from a computer

  1. Download the installer

    On the Download page — for your computer. No installation code is needed.

  2. Connect the car

    The ENET cable goes into the OBD port under the steering wheel and into your computer. Switch the ignition on and wait until the screen has started.

  3. Install the menu

    Open Terminal (macOS, Linux) or PowerShell (Windows) and type the commands. When the installer asks to confirm the head unit and whether to continue, type yes and press Enter.

    cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x wayglass
xattr -c wayglass
./wayglass install --agent

  4. Wait for the restart

    The installer restarts the head unit by itself. After the restart, the menu is in "My Vehicle → NBT Tools".
