Hello, everyone,

I checked the presence of Enhanced BT box inside the trunk next to the fuse box and unfortunately do not have the box there. There are many threads on how to enable Office in iDrive by modifying HU options, but it is unclear if I need the extended Bluetooth box module to be able to activate and utilize office. I guess I have basic BT for calls and music. Using Bimmercode for coding.

Thanks in advance.

Figured it out, thanks to user bmtespar guidance, borrowed from his message below. Only had to change 10 items from default.

Things I did not change that oppose above list:

Left Microphone Number default as Werte 1
Left WLAN diagnose default as Aktiv

Then tested system, everything was working, except could not reply to SMS. Could see and read, but not reply. So I coded some more below:

Additional things activated (might as well, I thought):
REMINDER_EIN_AUS - AKTIV
CALENDAR_EIN_AUS - AKTIV
TASK_EN_AUS - AKTIV
TEXT_NOTES - AKTIV

To be able to reply or compose new stuff:
PIM_NEW_ELEMENT_EMAIL - AKTIV
PIM_NEW_ELEMENT_SMS - AKTIV
PIM_NEW_ELEMENT_TEXT - AKTIV


What I discovered is activating PIM options allows you to compose SMS and emails, including replying to existing SMS and emails hands free using BMW text to speech. Overall, have a fully functional office!!! Yay!

Hope this helps, NBT EVO unit to Activate Enhanced BT and Office. 2018 BMW 328d.

All coding was done with Bimmercode. If anyone has any questions, please reach out. All FDL coding, I believe. So the only option missing is VO coding to change build codes, but hopefully all will continue working with mismatched codes.
