The adapter came in today. It is a piece of plastic with a plug at the bottom. The phone seems to fit, although I will have to remove some rubber plug in the back.
The adapter doesn't fit in the console tray and it seems I will need a bezel for it.
Also, it has no cable attached to it as all the previous posts showed, just the plug at the bottom. Will the cable in the center console be long enough to fit? I have my doubts.
If anybody has access to the BMW parts listings or manuals, please let me know if I need a cable or/and the bezel.

I just went thru previous posts quickly. Do we have to recode a TCU after reconnecting cables? We do not need it since the car already recognizes BT phone? But direct connection thru cables requires some software change somehow, which I feel....

To delete the bluetooth connection and start from scratch, the car and phone have to recognize each other correct?? I cannot even get the car to recognize the phone.? When I Find a Device in phone, it states no device found.? Any suggestions.? My Treo 650 was recognized quickly.? I am thinking of exchanging the phone.? Thanks.

Go to "find me" in the BT connection (phone), don't press on it yet because you'll only have 60 seconds to pair up. Press your I-drive and go to communications settings. Choose bluetooth and then begin the finding process on your phone. Make sure you turn your BT on permanently by going to "BT power" in your V551's BT menu.
I couldn't transfer all the entries in my phone book. So I'll have to delete and repair it again. Hope this would work

The parts guy just e-mailed me back. It is another $130.00 plus tax. This one they even have in stock! I'll get it early next week and then post again.
