I see that our US members are getting bluetooth. Are US cars already prewired for it from the factory? So is it an easy retrofit installation?

Also i have done a search which mentions i need option 640. But im pretty POSITIVE that this option was not available in the UK. It might be standard. Im not sure.

From what I have seen on the forum, it depends on the build date of the car. Cars built march 2004 and prior may have issues. My car is a May 2004 build and the only requirment was that I get a software upgrade. I had that done on Wednesday and they activated Bluetooth for me. It is woking well, other than the voice commands.

What did you have to do to get it activated? I have heard that its to be wired up to everything which makes it quite costly. But a few months ago i enquired about it to another BMW delaer who said that cars built after July 04 (like Mine) only takes 4 hrs for a retrofit instead of 9.
