Introducing My New X5

[willy_manily]

Hi all,

Greetings from Australia! After a long & tiring search to find the perfect X5. I've found one! Should be able to pick it up this weekend if all goes OK with the roadworthy. After looking at approx 10 X5's (most looking very tired, burning/leaking oil) I finally found this beauty. It's a 2006 X5 3.0L. Now, I'm not a huge fan of the 3.0L engine and would have preferred a 4.4 or diesel however they all had massive kilometers on the clock in the price range I was looking. I found another last weekend, however it blew its head during the roadworthy inspection so I backed out of the sale!

I am however sure i'll grow to love it. It is equipped with the panoramic sunroof, sports pack, front and rear PDC, side skirts, bluetooth (i think). It would have been great if it had the widescreen navigation, however i'm not that fussed with the business CD for the moment (at least the pixels are good & working).

I have a few quick questions for you guys:

1. Where and what do I have to do to find a replacement for these? Screenshot by Lightshot

2. I didn't have a great look, but I'm pretty sure I have bluetooth. Does this mean that a bluetooth module is installed? In the center console I did notice that there was a tray/cradle for perhaps a phone to slot into. However I didn't take note of a pair button. Screenshot by Lightshot

Cheers guys!

Look in the owner's manual for the pairing code. Your vehicle will sync at start up for a few mins

Oh and here is a garage shot during a detailing project.

Very clean looking car... congratulations!
With regards to Bluetooth, a sure fired way to tell that you have it is to look for the ULF (phone/Bluetooth) module, located under the CD Changer bracket in the left rear compartment in the boot.
To pair your phone, you will have to find the pairing code, which should be in your owners manual if it was a factory fitment. Otherwise, the pin is also printed on the outside of the ULF module.
