Guys - all I have e46 330 ci sport with the kit for the motorola v50 (?). I want to change the phone kit to Bluetooth kit. The prices quoted to me from BMW are extortionate. I want to use the TV screen for messages and the phone book etc as it was with the motorola. If bluetooth is not available can i get a lead to replace the motorola lead to a nokia 6600 lead. Please help me ........

I have a 2002 530 sport with sat nav and had the bluetooth retrokit fitted for a 6310i. Fantastic piece of kit although it does come at a price.
The cost depends upon what age the car is and what is already in. Becasue I di not have the comms pack the wiring loom had to be changed and this is probably why tghe job took about 7 hours to complete. The cost came to just under £1700 but once in is great. The dealer forgot to install the external arial initally but after a bit of badgering, eventually fitted it (in the rear bumber). This was very usefull as it gace decent signal coverage in patchy reception areas. I generally plug the phone into the creadle in the centre armrest if I'm going anywhere where coverage is not perfect ie outside of london. An undocumented feature is that voice control is enabled (just for the phone) so you can dial numbers by pressing the speak button on your steering wheel.

My dad has an X5 and has been told that the bluetooth conversion cannot be fitted as the car is not suitable. And the dealer has said that there is nothing else they can do.

Peter mentioned that some other motorola phone can be used. Is this in the arm rest compartment? Do they allow you to use the handsfree system in the car?

Peter is it possible you could scan the magazine article and email it to me?

Sorry Darryl did not realise, cut short says that most motorola phones will fit with BMW car Kit, V70 mentioned, therefore V500/600 should be ok as well ( i have V500 but use Bluetooth headset). Hope this helps

Just for your info gents -

http://www.bmw.co.uk/apm/corporate/news_index/0,3312,,00.html

Found on the BMW Corporate site. Look under the topics on the right of the page marked 4 November 2003 - 08/11/03 Mobile phone legislation.

Details what phones are compatible with the BMW Bluetooth system.

Cheers

As far as i know it will interface with the Stereo but cannot say if it will be possible to link into wheel, Might be possible to interface bluetooth headunit with Multifunction wheel as most electronics can be linked

Cheers BoyBimmerM3, i'd really appreciate it - also any information on what to ask for as i've tried several times at different dealerships but just get stonewalled i.e. "BMW do not retrofit them - they can only be obtained from the factory in Germany"!!

there is now an interface that plugs into the nokia cark91 normal hands free kit & bmw 3 series (non sat nav) that allows you to fully control the phone from the wheel & puts the phone display onto the stereo. Will check what other bmw's it fits. They are working on aversion fr bluetooth
