newbie question re: cell phone / alarm signal
wot a great site u guys have put up ! everything i need to know ! i've been able to read all the manuals BEFORE i get the vechicle! i am about to take delivery of a 2002 4.4 X5 satnav, ( presently have 2000 520i) my question is- if i use a phone other that the one which came with the vechicle, can i just get one that is compatable ( ive read the CPT models) or do i need some kind of adjustment from BMW before a dfifferent phone is connected? also, there are no audible alarm on / off indicators. BMW want to charge me £80 just to connect it to their diagnostic computer. is there any other way of activating it? many thanks guys for a GREAT site !

 I'm sure someone is gonna help you with this. In the meantime check out the section entitled "Electronics & Cell phone" on the main page. This will give you some additional info you can use.

2) Last I read if you want to connect your own phone though the wired connection of your CPT8000 (cpt9000 started in 2003) You are going to have to do it yourself. There are some DIY's on various websites but a lot of wiring is involved. Your best bet would be to visit someone like EAS and buy a bluetooth kit. 3) It could be that you don't have the alarm option. But if you do have it the dealer has to turn those features on.

here is some more info for you.
From: http://www.bimmerfest.com/faq/faq.php Q: My car is supposed to be pre-wired for a cellular phone. Where can I get it? A: The CPT7000 phone and installation kit from BMW have been released as of October, 2000 by BMW. The phone is a Motorola StarTac phone with custom firmware for use with the BMW installation kit. The phone and installation kit are available from your BMW dealer, or one of the online BMW dealers. The online dealers usually offer discounts below MSRP for these kits. Q: Can I use my own Motorola StarTac phone with the CPT7000 installation kit from BMW? A: No, the firmware necessary is only available with the BMW branded version of the phone. Q: What is the CPT8000 phone and where can I get it? A: This phone and installation kit has been discussed on the net, and is supposed to be released by BMW in the near future. The latest date for release as of November, 2000 was for "Spring 2001". The phone is rumored to provide voice recognition in addition to the current CPT7000 features.
