About to buy a 5 touring (Europe) but with no blutooth. It's an 08 model. It has the phone cradle in the central arm rest, but the blutooth doesn't look like it's switched on.
How much would it cost to retrofit the bluetooth unit and activate this feature on the idrive.
Is the car wired for blutooth aready - since the cradle is in the armrest.
Would the microphones be installed in the headlining already.
Sorry for all the questions but would really help is omeone could provide some guidance as I would really like to activate this function
Thanks

If you have the phone cradle the blutooth should be there. To retrofit it costs abt. ?800.
Try to go to the I-drive menu and see if you have the blutooth option. If it is there just go there and pair your phone.
