FmusBMW,
Your right ... I've got the bluetooth retrofit kit and just waiting to get it installed ... dealer's computer just crapped out ... so have to wait for the software upgrade, then I should be in Bluetooth Business?
Thanks for the post. On another level, do you have an heads up on the Automatic A/C issue? You can see this thread posted yesterday or so. Would appreciate any inputs ... cause I'm already thinking of upgrading my car (getting another one) cause no use living with something your not really happy with???

The upgrade Kit # 84 64 0 304 835 for cars built with option # 640 "Telephone Preparation"
The upgrade Kit # 84 64 0 304 834 for cars built without the option # 640 "Telephone Preparation"

).FmusBMW,
I believe the car was built sometime in 04/04 cuz that's the date I see on the sticker on the drivers door area. What do you think I would need according to the post you posted??
BMW posted new information on its dealer aftersale web site related to BT and US vehicles. The new information mentions that a new TCU has been installed on vehicles built starting March 04 production, it also shows a US part for a Bluetooth antenna to be connected to this new TCU. There is no mention yet of a retrofit to provide additional wiring and parts (BT Antenna, base for snap-in adapter...) but I would guess that this will be coming shortly. In Europe BMW has created several retrofit kits to install the BT kit on cars with pre wiring (3hours of labor) or without (8-9hrs of labor). I would guess that a US kit will be offered and will take about 3-4hrs of labor since US E60s have most of the prewiring required.

I guess I would need the one without "Telephone Preparation" (How do you tell? Is Telephone Preparation option the cars with the eject box preinstalled? I just picked up my 530i non NAV on 5-21-04 (Only had 2 miles on it? ).
).

If you have a US E60 with BMW assist, check the BMW card that comes with your car that has a BMW/Motorola sticker. That card will list the BMW part number of your TCU. If the part number is 84 11 6 948 921 you have the most recent TCU.
Thanks again!
