After the E46/E39/E38/X5 Mk1/Z4 Mk1/X3 Mk1 the TCU went to optical fibre, and it gained a second connector next to the 54 pin one, and is not compatible with your car.

Pros and cons:

The ULF has voice control for the phone and Nav
The TCU has voice control for the Nav only

The TCU apparently has a better ring tone than the ULF.
The ULF needs a pairing button or eject box, the TCU does not.

The EU ULF appears to be quite tricky to pair in a retrofit.
Hello.

Just bought 2008 X3 from USA.
There is a TCU in the car.


Is it possible to use this system in Europe with Nokia 6700 classic?
Thank you.
