Tri, yes gets confusing. I would do some research on what your car came with as far as pre wiring, but there is a good chance that it does have the mic in the overhead console. If you go back in this thread and another on an E46 forum where I think he goes over in detail what to look for in pre wired/cabling. I am still waiting on adapter cable but overall I am happy with my unit with my MID.

Also, IIRC my '03 does not have the coaxial connection between the CD and the DSP. It is more than 10 years back that I did a nav retrofit on the 4.8iS I owned back then and at the time I also knew exactly what was in my '03 but those memories are vague now.
My question for anyone who has installed their BlueBus, any clues on which cable/harness I'd have to obtain to install it? I'd like hands free calling to be available as my kids will mostly drive this car going forward. From the posts above it looks like there is more to that than just plugging the CD changer plugs into the BlueBus?
