They suggest changing TCU but have not offered to accept any responsibility. The customer service person suggested that I contact the service manager at the dealership and plead my case to him. According to her, the local service manager may be able to get my car sorted out. BUT NO GUARANTEE. I am really disappointed in BMW NA policy on this issue. I will keep you all informed.

My Ride: 2009 550i sports, Nav, logic Best E60 yet
2004 545i, sports pkg, logic 7 steptronic, rear shade,orient blue with beige interior, blue tooth enabled Razer Phone. 2004 X5 3.0, sports pkg, stepronic, summer pkg. imola red.
2006 Mini Cooper S, manual, sports, prem pkg, nav and kitchen sink.
The recetion is very good, maybe not as good as a more recent version, but IMO more than acceptable. I have played with the volume by lowering it as recommended by other members and it seems to work well. I think some dealers are either covering the butts or looking to sell you some equipment. My only complaint is what I had to spend to get a phone and car working.
If anybody is interested in the Razr phone and you do not currently have service with Cingular, the phone can be bought from amazon for $259.00 after rebates. I paid $400+ and after 3 months I can apply for the rebate. I love the phone, I just hope I live long enough to figure out how to use all of its features.

I just picked up the Razr from Amazon. Works like champ!
I have a July 2004 Car and it paired just fine. (I had Assael do the software upgrade last time i was in there getting my Wheels replaced for the pothole damage.)

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
This may have already been pointed out, I have not read through all of the info, but when I went to do this, there was a service bulletin that clearly stated that March builds had the proper TCU and only need a s/w upgrade. I have a July 04 build and had no problem with the blue tooth phone and the reception after I did the s/w upgrade.
I do have a few people that say they get some feedback of thier voices talking, but I don't think that is a function of the TCU.
