Wow they got it to work mine is still in the shop first 1 month then (06 330 loaner) then 2 weeks (06 x5 ) 1 week now (06 325 loaner) and they still can't get it to work replaced tcu 2 times, the cradle and btum once numerouse puma's and still not working not sure if the tcu they replaced with was non bluetooth one will ask tommorow, they did get it to recognise the module and it said to turn on or connect portable numerous reprograms i will give it awhile longer as i will start complaining to NA about a buyback or something as my car is obviously defective if a factory install cant be peformed. Have you tried it yet? does it actually work with all voice commands as sync ups hit me back with the details soon as possible
The voice command works when I tell it to "dial number" and all my phonebook contacts in my Sony-Ericsson W800 appear in the i-Drive menu. When I go into the main menu (by pushing down on the i-Drive knob) and go into Communication settings, there is no bluetooth option, so I assume this confirms that it is a non-BT TCU. Good luck and just keep at them, I get the feeling that I am not the most liked person at my dealership anymore, but hey, I finally got BT. It is a shame that I have to feel like the bad guy in all of this.

Thanks man i finally got my car back and bluetooth is a working perfectly, and the great thing is that it is intergrated without the BTUM they changed the tcu once again and had to get all the info on my car onto a floppy and load it to the tcu while upgradeing. It turns out that once you cahnge something in a previous cip you can not go back. I am now trying to see if my dealership will reimburse me for the 490 cradle btum and eject kit that i no longer need as i did not purchase it from them because they had it back ordered and no ship date insight so i brought it from Pacific BMW and they dont take returns on special order electricals. I have a letter from the BMW puma case wich stated to reimburse me but the parts is balking at the order from them but anywho i have bluetooth with my Netlos v710 paired and fully functional and my Verizon Razor paired and fully fuctional and can switch between the two by moving one or other up in the pairing chain. Anyone need a brand new cradel btum and eject kit?
