Thanks to all members for the suggestions and article archives.....

At long last the conversion of my 3-2-04 build X5 to Bluetooth and Assist is working. I have my Mororola E815 paired to the car, full address book tranfer and VR from the -114 TCU is working.....life is good.

To achieve this miracle, it took yet another 3-1/2hours in the dealer. We had everyone in service and parts involved but the janitor.....without bashing the dealer, it was scary to think that I was conducting a mini-service training on how to do this......seriously.

Despite they're having all the BMW TSB's etc, etc, they did not want to beleive that you could have a pre 05 car with BT and Assist. It took 2 1/2 hrs to present every article from the X5 world archives to convince them it would work (thanks for the articles), and then an additional hour to re-recode.

Despite their reservations, they agreed to recode the vehicle to satisfy me. Magically, on this second recode, the system came alive. I firmly belieive they didn't do the proper coding the first time because they simply beleived it couldnt be done.

In reality, the dealer actually had the best TSB I've seen yet (didnt get to copy the number), an update (of sorts, from July august or september 05) of SIB 841304 that we've seen, it was a basic "how to" manual and it was a great paper. If they had simply followed this the first time, it would have been a 1/2 hr job.

At any rate, its working...

For anyone else looking to update their 3-04 or later, X5 from Nav and Assist to BT, NAV and Assist with Voice Recognition for the phone, you need the following:

Motorola 84-10-6-964-114 (or newest -056) TCU........Call Crevier for $$
Bluetooth Antenna $19.50
Antenna connector cable $21.50

Contact Randy at European Integrated Systems www.eiskits.com for the antenna and cable. If youve got ASSIST, you've got the Mic and don't need to spend $164.00 or so for the BT install kit, all you need is the antenna and cable. Check out the EIS site, it's worthwhile...

Thanks again......
