Hello I have an 04 530i without bluetooth. I asked the dealer a few years back if I was able to put Bluetooth or if I need to activate something but they said no. I just wanted to see if anyone has done it or if it's even possible, the stealership give a lot of bad info. Thanks for the help

You would need to change the TCU in your trunk to one that supports BT. Plus get it coded to the car. The only Neg is that the TCU for older Models did not support Audio streaming via BT.

I don't understand exactly what u mean about not being able to stream audio via bt. Does that mean that I won't be able to hear who I'm talking to and or hear music?

No, it means the BT TCU would permit your phone to function like a phone (make and receive calls) but NOT like a multimedia device.
