The dealer is mistaken. That was true for the 2004 BMW models, but I also retrofitted the 2005 BMW Assist/Bluetooth module in my 2004 M3.
I assume you got the premium package which includes the BMW Assist module. What the dealer doesn't know is that the 2005 BMW with BMW Assist module also has the bluetooth module built-in. It is made by Motorola.
You need to get the bluetooth passkey which is a sticker on the module.
However, 2004 BMWs with BMW Assist does not have a working Bluetooth. You need to remove the 2004 BMW Assist module and replace with a standalone ULF module.
Your sales guy/dealer/parts guy is mistaken. What dealer is that?

BMW ULF Hands Free
Phone System with
Bluetooth 4/2002-on
Restrictions? Cannot be installed with BMW Assist
Is this right?
Also, would I have to buy a control module ($435) and an instllation kit ($164), and a phone cradle base plate ($82.50), and a snap-in adapter ($125 for SE T637), plus installation, plus the cost of the phone (and give up BMW Assist)?!! Surely this can't be so. |
