Own a 2004 525 built in Jan 2004, the dealer tells me I cannot use bluetooth because of the January production date. BMW USA says they know of the issue but no fix is available at this point. Has anyone had similar issues, or know of a fix? The car came with a bluetooth ID and materials which is confusing.

Ya I think you're dealer is right for once... as of now there is no way to get BT on cars built before March 04.

See here... download the service bulletin then on the last paragraph on page one

Welcome aboard Ryan.

You're in the same boat as I was. You will likely need to replace the TCU and have the software updated to get BT to work. No other solution at this time.

Cost has varied between $1500 and $2200 US so far.

But, when BT works, it is one sweet set up.

Welcome aboard Ryan.

Well In Ireland we still have to pay for Bluetooth setup on 05 Cars as an extra.
?1090 = $1420.
