Regarding what you are seeing on the 2004 that is connecting you to Verizon, what you are experiencing is explained here - So here's what I've found out re: using BMW Assist - The BMW X5 (E53) Forum

AWESOME! You cleared up THAT question in one quick swoop! Thank YOU! Now, about this:
Quote:
Note that the combo Assist/BT module doesn't have the Voice Recognition feature built-in, and will require the purchase and installation of a stand-alone VR module if you want this capability.
I actually have a VR kit on my 2000 540. Wouldn't it be a kick if it's the same part? I would order another, of course. But still it would be kind of fun. I suppose a search will reveal the thread with the part #. I will look around.

I see these DICE units with VR, etc. Is this a better alternative to the OE parts? I am concerned that I would lose function of my factory SIRIUS module if I bought one. It has all of these little connections, but it doesn't say anything ab SIRIUS. Any comments or experience there from the group at large?

Thank you again for clearing this up!
