My Ride: 545i YM2005, Gray exterior beige nascar interior, tiptronic, comfort & active seats, Prof NAV, Active steering, adaptive lighting, professional car telephone, alloy wheels 18" Model 124, run flat tyres and Logic 7 sound system.

Colleagues,

Is it possible to retro-fit Voice Command on 545 with Navi Pro & BlueTooth installed? I do have the VC button on the steering but not on the middle console.
if yes, what is the part number? Can I install it myself or do I need to go to the dealer?
Any idea about cost?

Thanks

You should be able to get the retrofit on your car but it's doubtful that you can do it yourself due to the need for programming.

The parts system shows part number: 84 64 0 396 162 (Retrofit Kit, Voice Input System.) It also shows an allowance of 1.25 to 2.0 hours, depending on the condition of the vehicle and the equipment in it.

Where are you located? (Put your location in your profile so it displays under your name -- that way it'll be easier to help you out in the future.)

I had mine retrofitted, they replace the central switch with a dual one and reprogram the system....mine was done in an afternoon for 270 gbp at my dealer.

worth doing in my opinion.

I've had it done too. When I got my car back they had the voice recognition programmed in German. A few weeks ago I gave them my car again and they reprogrammed it in UK English.

So if you get it installed tell your dealer you want the UK English version!
