Dear Kewl x5. The reaon I want to switch is that the orignal 993 combination box does not support the newer phones like the Nokia 6230i or the Sony Ericsson T-630 with software R7A011. I can not get phonebook additions to transfer to the BMW 993 combobox in above phones. The recommended software for that phone according to my information is R3A025. That software is not available any longer here in Iceland. It is less expensive for me to upgrade the UHL Visteon Bluetooth box than the 993 combo box and I have no need for BMW assist. 268 box should solve my problems I hope.
