2019 6.5" Mini Connected / NBT EVO?

Hey all -

I wonder, has anyone taken apart the dash of a US 2019 Mini with the 6.5" infotainment system? It looks like the 2019 models now have a 6.5" touch screen (prior years lacked touch), I wonder what model of computer is actually used behind-the-scenes and if it has changed for this year? I noticed that the UK versions look to have the NBT EVO even behind the 6.5" screen. I'm skeptical that the US version does this, just curious...there's a mini on a dealer lot that I'm thinking of buying, trying to figure out if adding navigation/carplay will require a complete infotainment swap with all of the joy that that entails, or if the hardware is mostly there and some workarounds can be found.

My US 2018 SE has a touch screen EVO nav system. Haven't measured the 6.5", but seems about right. I wouldn't expect they install multiple screen types/sizes for an EVO Touchscreen infotainment sys. If you search you'll see some people - mainly BMW - uses same sys AFIK - have been purchasing FSC codes to activate Apple CarPlay on newer systems.

I have taken my dash apart. I have the 6.5" infotainment system with non nav ENEVO system i think it is called. I have it coded with Sirius XM & Apple Car-play. if you have an IPhone and get it coded with car play you really don't need navigation.

Hi, I’m new NAM. How do I know what variation of the system I have?

I have 6.5 touch screen. No Nav, no remote services. Do have tele services.

I have Spotify interface though, no other thing like tunein etc. but I do no have CarPlay.

I do have a F57, produced on 2019-02-21 I am in Canada.

I’m trying to see if I can upgrade something just to be able to have CarPlay running on it.

i have seen YouTube videos of mini with a small screen like mine showing CarPlay.

thx
