Hi !

I have a UK spec Nov 2004 525 SE and have managed to fit electric heated sport seats, pro nav and PDC and my next job is to fit the phone. I presume no wiring is in the car at present and I am looking for some help I have been confused by the many posts.

i have got the following already and wondered what else I will need and if anybody has the parts or the numbers and any advise.

Bluetooth aerial (inside the car)
Roof aerial
MULF2
Microphone

My fin did not have the aerial under it but I have an aerial to fit

I also have a Mic for the overhead roof trim.

I am struggling to find out what wiring I will need as I can not see any in the car.

That?s good! At present i have the Nokia CK 7W kit installed routed through the hi-fi and it works ok. I just want the OEM system with phone book idrive display etc.

My problem is I need the 54 pin plug and fibber optic leads and plugs or the right loom and are having problems finding the right parts/information

I have just ordered the loom and I hope I have got the right one only time will tell.
It has to come from Germany and will take 10 day to arrive.
I understand where all the bits and loom go but I am still not sure it will work.
