Another update, apparently, for those of us without iDrive, the $620 option for Voice Commands is not there for us, it throws some error when we attempt to code it. So we cannot get Voice Commands, at least not with the MULF2 that I have.

Does your module say MULF2 SVS, MULF Hi Basis SVS, or neither?

I'll take a look for which MULF2 it is. To be honest, I wasn't even aware there were different MULF2 versions.
Anyways, while searching around, if all you want is USB, the following looks like a cheaper/easier option. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA0920667333 I wish I would have known about this, because all I really wanted was the USB functionality. The bluetooth was sort of a cherry on top / nice to have thing for me.

The designation of SVS on the MULF is for the voice control. |

i retrofitted bluetooth with my MULF 2 HIGH Basis SVS and just added the SA644 (SA664 for US cars) and my voice control worked without adding SA620. this particular MULF2 is for SA620 & SA609 option but it does give voice control for bluetooth phone as well. the MULF2 i have has a label which looked similiar to this.

That is what my MULF looks like.
Thanks Snoozee and Marius76 for clarifying for us. No voice control for those of us without iDrive

Hey Snoozee, which coding profile did you use? We're having trouble just getting the USB option to appear in the devices. Did you add -iPod an -kmp3?

i did not add ipod or kmp3. i already had 6FL from factory and just added $644 to the VO list. US cars should add $664. without the $6FL in the list, the modules will show the MULF2 (or 2MULF in modules list) as just MULF in the list. |

If I just wanted to add the iphone cradle to my car that already has the USB plug and bluetooth, but no idrive. Would it require anything more than just purchasing the cradle?
I would want it to recharge the phone, answer calls and play music through the stereo as it does now. |

To install the 4 wires from the USB/AUX socket to the MULF you need to 4 extra plug pins to install those wires into the blue 54-pin plug. Where did you get the correct pics so that i can crimp them on my extended wires and then push them into the blue plug? |

bmw sells the wiring pigtails with MQS pins. alternatively you can buy just the pins and crimp them yourself. This is what I bought when I did my retrofit. http://singapore.rs-online.com/web/p...633D4E4F4E4526 |

Hi guys
I want to do the Bluetooth retrofit on my 320d with the professional radio and add the iphone/ipod connection. The car comes pre-wired in South Africa. I am just unsure about the MULF required. I managed to get one, the MULF2 through a buddy. From what I've read this will allow me to get the bluetooth working, but not the iphone connection. WIll I need to get the MULF2 high basis SVS to get the music working correctly? Any advice would be appreciated. |

How did this end up working out? Im curious because I want to install the 6FL kit in my car, but the OEM instructions seem pretty sketchy on the details. Do you have to run new cable? Does this involve removing the seats/carpet?
