Back the old days (2004! ) you had to order the Navigation to get voice control because Nav (CCC) and non-Nav (M-ASK) cars used different computer systems. Today, all use the CCC computer. Does that mean you no longer need Navigation for voice control such as controlling a Bluetooth phone? Needless to say, my sales guy had no clue. I so rarley use any Nav system. Don't have it in my 545 but do have a Garmin Nuvi for the very rare occasion it is needed. Basically I'm a cheapskate at heart and don't want to spend the $1,900 for Nav! Now's your chance to talk me into it... Let the games begin!

Correct. Starting in 2005 all cars NAV or No NAV included voice dialing for the BlueTooth phone. I'm guessing its still the same for LCI cars... I think without NAV you'll only have voice command for the phone and not the menu's to the iDrive
