Bluetooth Conversion

I have a 2002 M5 with the full comms pack. This means I have the now very old motorola phone. I currently have a Sony Ericssonas my mainphone and when I get into the car I divert calls to the sim in the motorola. Does anyone know anything about the bluetooth car kit and whether it is available as a retorfit? I can't find any information on the BMW website.

Cheers

Thanks for the response. Do you know the cost of these? I have the SonyEricsson P800 too, will the latest style work with this?

Having recently purchased an E46 320d there was a nokia kit installed when I bought the car. I had an 8310 so it was of no use with the phone kit so bought myself a 6310i via ebay and swapped the sim card over.

I can now use the phone in the car and it is quite useful. The thing is do I have to have the bluetooth technology switched on for it to auto mute the radio when making or receiving calls ?

I've noticed that when receiving calls the person has asked me to turn down the radio when I answer. Sorry if this sounds a bit lame but Im not sure if the kit is compatible or not although these type of phones have been out more than 2 years.

Also, in the multi function steering wheel surely when I press the speech button the phone should automatically answer without having to touch the answer button on the phone.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

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

yes you can get a retrofit kit from bmw. i have fitted to e46 3 series and x5's. take about 8 hrs to fit. not sure how much the kit is, guess about 500 quid. can find out tomorrow.

checked for you the kit is about £630 plus vat. if you p.m. your chassis no can get you the part no.

Thanks BoyBimmer M3 - have sent you a PM. Peter H I need/want it to work with the multi-function steering wheel/ stereo so it needs to be the BMW kit unless anyone is aware of any other solution?

Just for your info gents -

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.
