If you want it just PM me your name address and phone # and I will ship it to you and you can see if it works. If not, just ship it back to me. If you want to keep it, we'll talk price later, no big deal. Do you have a SIM card for it?

Thanks, jtp, that's really great of you. I just bought a V60i off eBay yesterday for $80 so hopefully it will work, the seller said it was a BMW V60i GSM. If for some reason it does not work out, I'll be back in touch and may take you up on the offer. Thanks again.

So what is the deal with the V60 that ordered off of Ebay? did it fix your trouble? I am currently still haveing the same trouble that you have saying connect or power on your portable phones will pair fine but no info in the idrive. My dealer is still working on the problem and still has the PUMA open and is getting min by min help from the BMW engineers as they can not fiqure out the trouble yet given them a couple more days till say they can not fix it and then i will start my quest for another car or some kick back. If they do work it out i will post the info on what and how they fixed it
I received the phone today and it does not say BMW on the phone casing but does show "BMW" upon power up on its screen. Anyway, no my car did not recognize it and by chance I had a customer come in today with a 760 and he had a cpt9000 in his car. He let me try it in my car and my car would not do anything with his in the ejectbox either; however, when I put my "BMW" V60 in his car it immediately displayed "Reading Data" on his i-drive screen so his car did recognize my phone as being connected. I feel that the guys working on our cars just must be missing something, I have an appointment on next Monday to get my Sirius reprogrammed since they erased it at the last visit, which i should be pissed off about, but I am so focused on getting this damn BTUM to work that I am kinda lettin that slide. They are going to look at the phone again at that appointment, I just have a bad feeling they are going to give me the run around again because the phone I have is not an actual cpt9000. Do you have a customer service number for BMW NA? I think I need to start calling someone.
Regards,
Scott

If the dealer witnessed all of your testing, I can't see how they would give you any trouble just because the outside of the phone doesn't say BMW...
Good luck -- keep up hope!

Scott, it sounds like you do have a BMW CPT9000. It's likely that the outer case was damaged or scratched and the previous owner just bought a regular V60 case to take care of that. Since it says BMW on boot, that's probably proof enough that it is an authentic phone (BMW logo is in firmware, I think). Finally, since your phone worked in the 760, it's clear that it "looks" like a CPT9000 to the car.

My SA just called and told me they got the BTUM to work by replacing my TCU. Curiously though she said it was a non-Bluetooth TCU. I did not think they made the non-BT TCU anymore. As long as the BTUM works though, I will be happy.
