Bluetooth Addon?
I understand from my dealer that an "Addon Module" will soon be availble
from BMW allowing Bluetooth in vehicles not factory fitted with the technology. Anybody know anything about this? Thanx, Bob |

My dealer in the UK quoted £1000 for installation in a 2001 e46.

That would be because cars in the UK - indeed all of Europe - are not fitted as standard with telephone pre-wiring (option SA640). Cars sold in the US and some countries in SE Asia are. What your dealer has charged you for is the Bluetooth gear and the wiring necessary - which requires most of the interior to be removed. If you already have SA640, the BT add-on takes less than an hour, and the parts are relatively cheap (perhaps the same price as any integrated aftermarket BT hands-free kit). |

About $600 for the module and installation kit. Works with most BMW's from
2003 on. May be compatible with earlier. Installation isn't too tricky, initialization by dealer required. After that and pairing, your phone is recognized by the car and you have the same features the older BMW plug-in phones had (hands free, steering wheel buttons enabled, phone database downloaded and displayed by vehicle).

Check out www.connects2usa.com or www.aardvarkmm.com for info on Argos.
It's a new Bluetooth system to integrate into BMW's (and in the near future, Mercedes and Jaguar) that has more functionality and is less expensive than the BMW ULF module or aftermarket modified BMW ULF modules. Connects2USA was just mentioned in an article on Bluetooth that was in the Wall Street Journal, and also was in Mobile Electronics magazine (Jan. issue) |
