Hey, guys just some FYI, I took the 545i to South BMW in Miami , Fl. Had them upgrade the software in the I-drive to enable BT and paired my Samsung A707 no problems. It ran me $264.00 US( just for BT) and took 7 hrs along with an oil change. Will try to set-up voice control tonight. Let me know if you have any questions. The 545i was Biult 07/04.
Thanks
Thanks

I have a question: I purchased a CPO 2004 545i build date is 5/04, Car has new TCU and v27 SW now, but no BT. What has been frustrating is hearing other 545i owners get BT and it seem so straightforward, like just turning on an option.
However, do you have a cradle for the cell in the center arm rest? If so did you purchase the bluetooth module that plugs into it?? or are you saying that there now BT connection, you have no cradle and the connection is somehow now made directly with the TCU?
Thanks for your help.

My '07 530xi has BT and has a cradle for a Motorola 710/815. But since my current phone is a Motorola MAXX I simply keep it in my pocket and it pairs fine. I am really impressed with the voice-recognition and being able to dial by name w/o having to store each and every one of my 300 phone contacts.

Meatzorb, I'm not sure about the cradle, I have a small black compartment under the center console compartment, but I don't see any connector for a phone there. I didn't have any hardware changed they just updated the software. And I had them pair my phone before I left with the car. But I afterwards I paired my girlfriends Blackberry too. Let me know if you have any more questions. Hope this helps.

Everyone I 've asked says they can't tell the difference, betweeen the car and the actual phone. I use it everyday.
