When/If Bluetooth is available here in the U.S., does anyone know what will be involved with dealer installation? I think my car is "pre-wired" for it since I got that BT Passkey card included with my owner's Manual.

I think I heard that the parts and everything will still run like $500. Does anyone have a good understanding of what will be involved? Even if it's just a theory at this point.

Thanks

Our feedback from the UK is the bluetooth retrofit will take 8-10 hours labour. So dial your BMW tech's labour cost in to that. Ours is approx 90GBP/hr

Who's going to pay 8 - 10 hours of labor for Bluetooth? That's $1,000 - $1300/USD (excluding parts).

I cannot believe it will require that.

What'd you expect. They work really slow for sa reson. I was able to take my entire trunk apart in an hour the first time to install my system. And the dah took three. It takes them 10 hours so they can make alot of money. Ill buy the parts and take it somewhere i trust thats cheaper
