2003 E53 Bluetooth retrofit

[Kev]

Hi Guys,

If I have done my research correctly, this is going to be quite an expensive update to the car (I'm picking up on Saturday).

The seller advertised it with Bluetooth but on closer inspection it's an aftermarket Nokia Bluetooth kit. It's wired into the sound system but I dont think it will give me the phone option on the 16:9 TV/NAV.

Strangely though the sterering wheel (it's a 3.0d Sport), has the telephone buttons, but theres no exidence of the mike being fitted in the roof-lining. I've seen these for around £30

What would be really nice if it was just a case of buying the (high-performence) microphone (with wiring just ticked away in the roof), and a ULF module to fit above the NAV DVD player and again with the wiring just tucked away. These seem to com up on ebay for around £50.

But there's probably much more to it. For example, to get the voice activation - which generation do I need. And is the a £250 box I need somewhere.

Any advice woud be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
