Adding Bluetooth ULF to 2001 E39
 

Anyone had experience retro fitting BMW ULF bluetooth to a car not prewired for phone ? Just wondering how hard it is. I have a Euro 2001 530i and am considering it...

thanks,
Seedar.

Not too tough, you will have to run a mic wire to the sunroof panel and make your connections in the boot area as well. This would be about 2-3 hours tops with simple hand tools.

Hi seedar,

Yes its not to hard, very straight forward, I did just this in my E46, check this link out.

Most the parts are the same (for the E46/E39), if you want the centre console cradle you will need to add this on top, as I just used a normal pair button.

If you don't have SatNav, or dont fancy making your own loom, get one from the dealer (its approx £120-$240).

Or go to someone like Martin @ navman, and get the kit from him, not cheap but very good.

Thanks
 

Great, thanks for your input guys, will have to do this soon ! So is it best to buy the BMW OEM from a dealer or the kits from bimmernav or elsewhere ?

cheers,
Seedar
