Morning all
Just checked my car details and it was produced in 02/2004 which means i missed out on the bluetooth option.
I have a CPT9000 installed in my car.
Tried to ring a dealer today to find out the cost of the BTUM for my car, they quoted me ?1200 to have the entire TCU changed out.
Tried to explain that BMW has a BTUM which you can put into your phone cradle.
Parts department have never heard of it.
anybody know the part number?
and successfully got one in the UK?

Many BMW dealers here in the UK retro fit Parrott........ Don't know if you have considered this?

I think it would depend on whether or not the Motorola V60 phone was available from the factory in your specific country. The BTUM is made by Motorola to emulate the V60 so that the car thinks that's what's connected in the cradle.
I know there were a bunch of different phone options for different countries so it's tough for me to say specifically if it's something you can get in the UK...

Never heard of BTUM in the UK, but perhaps this item is worth looking into with the Parts Dep?:

For what it's worth - friend of mine has a Sony-Ericsson BT kit (minus any cradle) fitted to his E60, the speech quality is markedly better than my car's intergrated factory BT! (although from this forum over time it appears there's a wide variation on this, depending on build dates, etc) - as suggested you may just want to get a Parrot or other kit fitted - probably cheaper too!
