is it possible to upgrade from NBTEvo_H to NBTEvo_N

Hello,

as the title says is it possible to upgrade from NBTEvo_H to NBTEvo_N P Q or any that supports full screen apple carplay? I have coded my 2017 F15 to support apple carplay but it is not full screen and I was searchign around and saw certain software versions have the option to support Carplay in Fullscreen mode. I was wondering if it is possible to get the full screen option by upgrading the software from NBTEvo_H to NBTEvo_N P Q or any supported fullscreen software without loosing anything?

Its possible to update to N and Up, however you will lose your carPlay and need to buy another license with full screen fearure.

I was in the same situation with my 2017 F15. Bimmerpost member kubax86 flashed my head unit today from "H" to "P" and now I have full screen CarPlay. I highly recommend him - very reasonable prices. His profile is here https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/member.php?u=352114
