Hello
I am the proud owner of a 2002 model which is a real peach but showing
its age in the gadgets department... What can I do in terms of upgrades?
1) SatNav
I guess this is mk1. Pretty plodding and out of date compared to my
TomTom 700. Can I upgrade the software in any way? Is the current
version CD or DVD? Can I get the whole of Europe on a single disk?
2) Telephone
This is the old system where you need to link a telephone by cable and
put a specific sim card in. Can I get rid of this and get bluetooth for any
phone? I have heard that the BMW bluetooth setup is not compatible with
all phones. What do you recommend?
3) iPod
I phoned BMW and they are asking 155 parts + 230 labour + VAT to fit a
glove box connector. Is this outrageous or what? Are there any third party
installers out there?
4) Any other recommendations to rejuvenate the electronic side of the
car?
Thanks!
