Or what about this Upgrade you guys are talking about, can I just use this? Can someone Help me?.. Thanks...

The BTUM is the ticket for you if you can acquire one of the phones that work with the system (see this link:

This is relatively new. From what I can find, the service provider doesn't matter as much as having the right phone per the BMW compatibility list. I'm looking for mine later this week and will report back. It looks like a win/win for those who have a CPT9000 system installed but either 1) don't have access to the original phone or 2) want a low-cost upgrade to BT while still being able to use all the built-in functions of the CPT system, such as steering wheel controls and hands-free operation.
