Jboat28,
thanks for the reply!! I just check the plate on the driver door the year of manufacture is 03 and I did not hear any beep sound. So I guess i'm not so lucky ...
but what about the communication menu in IDrive ? how can i use it or what does it do ??
cheers

Ruddy,
thanks for the hint !! I did some search here in this amazing forums about the BTUM and found that my car need a CPT9000 and BTUM plus a dealer programing. I read some of your post Rudy about "E60 - Microphones for hands-free mode and voice recognition" and what I found is my car does not have a microphones is that the only place for microphones or or its maybe located some where else??
