BMW X5 Bluetooth

[Gardar Rafnsson]

Hi all.
What can I do to get bluetooth system to me X5 E53 2003 model. The Vin is LU90073 and the birthday is 1.april 2003
Me X5 has Siemens hand free GSM phone in the center console. I have been asking and all tell me that Bluetooth can not be used together with the build in GSM phone, What can I do and what is the cheapest way.
Greetings from Iceland

Press 'speaking' button and hold! Turn key on pos 1 and wait for connecting... do u have microphone installed amd do u have bt module under navi connected?

An e53 with his build date DOES NOT have integrated bluetooth. He would need to find an older
oe compatible ULF bluetooth module that bmw put out for the e38, e39, e46, & early e53 models...or find the later TCU bluetooth modules that became part of the 1st integrated setups starting with the 10/2004 e53s...or slightly earlier 9/2004 build date BMWs.

The other alternative is the aftermarket BT options that get mentioned in everyone of the similar threads that ask this same question.

I sold the 06 model and was going to buy younger but I end up with 03 that I got on good price, but it is 3 years older but I miss the Bluetooth and the 160 KW Diesel engine, 03 has 135 KW diesel and all are same, except the bluetooth.
