I already have a tomtom go700 that has BT. I don't like it for the BT part. The volume doesn't get loud enough and the people have a hard time hearing me unless I lean towards the tomtom, which is annoying. I don't really use the GPS in my BMW either unless I take a long trip that I might need it. I want the BT for the BMW because it's safer than holding the phone and I don't want to carry the tomtom around just for that.

I am discussing and investigating this with my dealer, too. I am worried about the cost because the Universal charger/hands-free electronic control module (ULF) discussed on page 4 of the PDF looks awfully like the TELEMATICS CONTROL UNIT found in realoem. Cost for just this part is $1600. I hope this unit does not have to be replaced...
http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...84&fg=10&hl=16 I hope I am wrong. Strange how the part number for the retrofit kit is hard to find. EDIT: I must have made a mistake. I find replacing the telematics control unit hard to believe because if roverbmw from ebay is selling the entire kit for $1000, then the kit should be able to be purchased for less than this. Maybe $600...

I just spoke with my dealer and he thinks they can do it for around $400 installed. He was unsure if the phone harness was necessary on cars that weren't factory equipped so he's checking on that. If that has to be added it would be another $100.

400$ with or without MULF and programming? The MULF costs about 500$... With programming and the parts listed above the price is ok.

The guy at the dealer said $400 installed including all parts to make it work and programming. Another $100 if the phone cradle is absolutely necessary. That was his initial guess. He's looking into it and I'll know more when I go to pick my car up later this afternoon.

Wow, I am excited if this is the price. I guess you do not need to buy/install a MULF?

Well my guy determined that I would definately need a TCU, which is around $600 alone. That's out of the price range I wanted to spend so I'm giving up haha. If someone finds something cheaper please let me know!

My dealer seems to insist that I already have Bluetooth installed and that it just isnt activated.
So as a sanity check: In the list of installed options "Phone Prep" refers to the pre-wiring right?? |

^^ interested to find out what this means - technically, you should be able to check for the module in your trunk...

This is normally a $750 option when ordered from the factory. Although then it comes with the SOS button and BMW assist.

Plus, if http://www.bimmernav.com offers the full kit for $700 (plus S&H), I do not think this DIY will break the bank. It looks like all US cars has phone preperation so the retrofit will not be too intrusive.

this is not the same that you order from the factory the factory is a telematic unit it have bluetooth plus the SOS (that is actullay a standalone phone to call bmw and send data) in the US it use the circular network. the telematic unit is more than $2000 the ULF is only bluetooth you can't add SOS to the car after factory only bluetooh

Yes. But you can order the normal bluetooth with the MULF in europe for 800Euro. And thats exactely the same as the retrofit. TCU without Nav is only available in the US.
I was asked if the MULF is really necessary. Yes it is. If you have a module in the location in the trunk this DIY is worthless for you. Here the numbers for the MULF: 1 CHARGING ELECTRONICS, HANDS-FREE 03/2005 84106965406 2 CHARGING ELECTRONICS, HANDS-FREE 09/2005 84106975173 3 CHARGING ELECTRONICS, HANDS-FREE 12/2005 84106972678 4 CHARGING ELECTRONICS, HANDS-FREE 84109111718 Price:$644.49 MULF 1 won't function in any of your cars like other MULFs with different part numbers. I have installed MULF number 3 and bought it via Ebay. There can be problems with installing MULF number 2 in a car which was build after 9/2005. 3 and 4 should function in any E90. I think retrofitting the TCU is NOT possible. First you have to install the complete SOS system with the button or the system will provide an error message everytime you start the car... Additionally there is no software update available to get the TCU working. The retrofit software update in the SSS is only for the MULF.

Hmm... I'm definitely going to put this off for the time being. With my luck as soon as I install an expensive option my car will get hit by a meteor.
