I think they OP of the thread may be in correct in stating that the white key plastic has to be removed from the cable. I think he has the wrong cable for the antenna as i believe the one that fits is pink and black not pink and white. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Yes but is that even the right cable? I think the black / purple one is the proper one?

Anyone know how the S639A option compares to S640A?

S639A description: Preparation f mobile phone cpl. USA/CDN

An 08 335i that I'm looking at has iDrive w/Nav Professional, S6FLA USB/Audio, voice control, and S639A, but does NOT have S640A (or S644A for w/bluetooth). Curious if the S639A means it is prewired and is as simple as adding the antenna and moving some pins?

Running the wire and moving the pins are both about the same. To move the pins you have to drop the glove box. To run a wire you just have to take out the back seat. It snaps off, then run the wire in the trim taking off the a pillar and tuck into the lining

Hey guys, I just attempted this retrofit, I seem to be stuck at the coding part.

HARDWARE:
-2007 E92 335i
-no Idrive, with USB and with phone prep (acoording to options list)
-MULF2-HI (small sticker, no bluetooth logo) in the trunk
-no antenna wire in the footwell, wired my own dipole antenna in the trunk
-Mic wires taken from TCU patch into MULF connector.

CODING:
Added $664 to the FA and wrote to CAS and NFRM
Did SG_CODIEREN to the 2URAD and 2MULF
Did SG_Reset to both 2URAD and 2MULF

PROBLEM:
My radio shows a "phone" option but instead of a phone icon above it, it has 2 dashes there:

- -
Phone

When i press the button, nothing happens for a while and then the radio behaves like the button next to "phone" was pressed (shows BC menu)

Any Ideas about how to fix this? I read people had success coding with a blank .man, but my understanding is that their phone option didn't show at all. In my car it seems like the radio knows about the BT, but the MULF doesn't respond, so the readio picks the next best option (Literally).

Thanks guys!

That's it! Mine says PHONE instead of TEL, but that probably because of regional differences.. I'll give this a whirl tomorrow!

When creating the blank .MAN file and trying to point to it to code the 2URAD (Basic functions > coapiReadSgGetFswPsw)
I get this error:
COAPI-2041: wrong ecu coding index
A_E65MMI: CODIERINDEX = 04h

It gets even stranger:
I took the $664 off the VO, FA-WROTE to CAS and NFRM, Then SG_CODIEREN to 2URAD and 2MULF, in the hope to get everything back to its original state.
And the phone button is STILL THERE!

Tried a whole-car SG_RESET job yet?

It's funny, snoozee's go-to is the blank .MAN, mine is SG_RESET, and it's total chance which of us ends up being right

There are three screws across the top, torx T25 I think (not sure). Unscrew them and the entire plastic trim comes down. It's tucked into the shifter trim on the right, you need to pop it out there before it'll come all the way down and out.

No S6FLA USB/Audio

I have a '07 335 with iDrive and all the options (voice command, pre-wire for tele, etc.) but I DO NOT have S6FLA USB/Audio. In the trunk, I do not have a MULF or any unit.

Can I still enable bluetooth without purchasing any major hardware?

Don't think so, no.
