This is a good solution. However, it will not work well if you have DSP with an old gen radio (all DSP systems prior to 2003), and it lacks most of the BMW features. This equates to a basic Bluetooth implementation.
It is only factory-like in that it uses the steering wheel button to initiate and answer a call. It will not integrate with the instrument cluster, nav screen, or MID. Plus, it does not sync the phone book to enable direct calling from the steering wheel or MID, nor will it give any caller ID information.
