Just curious... for those cars prior to March 2004 production models, why wouldn't BMW solve the problem of Bluetooth with the use of a receiver/controller that would replace the plugin of the CPT9000. Would that work? The similar adaptor used for computers where we can plug Bluetooth receiver and let it communicate with our phones

Thanks... hope someday we can have some hope...

Engineeringwise, it's not a difficult thing to do. However,
the development cost for such 'adaptor' can not be justfied. I bet the cost
for such adaptor will be much higher than replacing the new CCC (since
the demand is not that high).

As the older car owners, we could simply bite the bullet or stay on CPT9000.
BTW, does anyone out there have a CPT9000 GSM phone for sale?
