I am getting the bluetooth as well as phone cradle in the car today.

They have to program TCU to make it all work.

I just got one call from the dealer and the programming is still going on... I hope all is well when it get's done.

They left my car hooked up overnite when I had it reprogramed to activate the bluetooth. I guess it is not a real fast process, or they don't want anything to occur that could interupt the process so they like to do it overnite when all is quiet at the dealship. I was worried that mine might crash and take a couple of attempts to get it upgraded. I had read of that happening, but it reprogrammed fine, even though it was the first of the newer TCU (3-17-05 build). I sure your car will do the same.

Have fun playing with the bluetooth once you get it back.

I should have proof read my own reply better. My car is a 3-17-04 build. I don't want to confuse anyone.

Thank you for the info and attaching the pdf file! My build is 9/03 so it may not be possible but I will definitely give it a try.

JWO: my build date is 10/03 and my BTUM update has been most successful. Check "BTUM Available" under search for details.

Just do it,
