I've read through hundreds of posts, but am still confused if this can actually do bluetooth, what those capabilities are (answer calls, voice control, a2dp?), and how to upgrade/enable them.

The parts guy at my dealer looked up my VIN and said since it lists no Bluetooth Prep option code, there's no way it can be installed. That was before I discovered the MULF2 (what is a MULF2 anyway? I keep seeing it referred to but have never seen it explained) with the BT logo on it, or I would have pushed him further. The dealer printout shows Satellite radio prep, USB/Audio interface and 'telematics access request,country-spec' if that makes a difference. Both the steering wheel and radio have a phone button.

I'm new to all this, so appreciate any help or pointers to newbie info you anyone can provide. Thanks!

I must have the MULF2, since if I had the Combbox I could, for example, use the ipod with just the USB interface cable. But I can't.

But my ultimate goal is not the ipod functionality, because I use a harddrive full of MP3.

My goal is getting bluetooth enabled. And I'm not sure if this is the right path...

Or simply swap the MULF-Hi with a Combox, which it is easier to add Bluetooth.
