Hi folks,

Many thanks for the useful FAQ. Just like some other users I don't have a Bluetooth option in the communication settings screen. I have a 2004 545i. Does this mean I am out of luck and cannot use BT phone? I do have a printed card with a Passkey card.

Or is there an upgrade that BMW can provide? I must admit that I am pretty frustrated with the lack of guidance from BMW in this regard. I have recently had the car in for service for 10 days because I was told that the 545i is the "nemesis" of the service center because it is such a complicated car.

Anyway, if any of you can shed some light I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Mike
