Since JamesS3 is a half-wit, you can spend time at both sites without any problems !!!

pharding, WOW, this is great news!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Please, if you can get the 'part number' for this so that we can tell our dealers the exact item to look up for the installation, it would be really great!!! Also, can you fill us in on the cost that they charge too?
Hey, you are the first on this, and lots of dealers are just saying that they are clueless.
Maybe if you could even fill us in on your dealer's name and the service advisor, if neeeded we could contact him if we needed?????
By the way, I've been wanting to get satellite radio too, did you learn anything about that as well???

I do hope it works. However, I am disappointed because I have a Feb 04 build.

Bluetooth Update
In light of the strong interest in this retrofit by fellow members of E60 Forums , I am on my way to the dealership on Saturday 10 am to drop off the car and to get more information. The cost is $150 to $200 for the BT retrofit. I will post more information late this afternoon. My only concern is that my 5er has been flawless to date for me after 3,600 miles. I hope that they don't do something that will adversely affect the car.
Actually the only problem that I had so far is when my technically illiterate wife attempted to eject the the Nav DVD when it was attempting to look an address up. She thought it was stuck and pushed eject button repeatedly. The I-drive got confused and locked up. Now the car is queesy when she is around. My wonderful wife locks up our computer at home this way. She is not technically patient. I thinking about entering into a post nuptial agreement with her that she will not abuse my car. Abusing the computer I can live with, although she is getting better, but abusing my e60 is over the line.
Anyway off to the dealership to drop my baby off for the operation and to get BT info. I hope this retrofit works!

The V710 is the only Verizon phone with Bluetooth right now.? It won't sync the address book yet.? Fortunately Motorola is releasing a firmware upgrade very soon.
