Hi Folks:

I've been reading the thread but it's still a bit difficult to absorb all this given the deep technical details.

I'm looking to have bluetooth functionality in my BMW:
2008 328i Coupe (02/08 production).
I don't have BMW Assist neither bluetooth nor premium package.
I have iPod connectivity and iDrive though.

I just need bluetooth and I don't want or need telematic/Assist/SOS stuff at all.

My questions:
First, what do I need to buy at a minimum to make bluetooth work (with English voice commands)? TCU or ULF? I've been reading some people also refer to MLUF. What's the latest part number/code I need?

Second, is coding absolutely necessary or I might not need it in case dealer doesn't want to code?

Thanks so much!
