Not sure but he came armed with lots of BMW harness additions which allowed piggy back (none intrusive) plug ins. Works really well, mutes perfectly, the small icon on the iDrive shows the mute logo. The guy from Fone Logistics was really good, it was installed in 1.5 hrs.

Not sure about mine either but my BMW SA had it done took 2.5 hours and runs thru the stereo speakers and mutes upon call....real slick set up...I will try to find out how my SA achieved this..but it the same as factory bluetooth, my sterring wheel even controls the phone like factory.
