Getting desperate !

Hi guys, sorry to be a pain but I've got two questions which I hope someone out there may know the answer to.

I've posted the questions in detail in the relevant forums (Bluetooth and Nav), but maybe a few of you are like me and only regularly check the E53 forum...?

First one, most important. In the UK, it seems that all X5s are not prewired with the Bluetooth harness. Mines a 2003 and theres no 50-pin connector in the boot or harness in the armrest. Is there a solution to this problem - ie. will BMW sell just the harness and is it a PITA to fit. Anyone done a retrofit into a non prepped car. All the retro guides in the home page seem to have been written by US members with prepped cars.

Second one, not so urgent but driving me mad. I have a Mark IV DVD 16:9 TV/NAV system in my car. Option 609 SatNav Professional. Its a 2003. The exisiting DVD has pn T1000-5385 and is a 2002-2 GB (+Dubin/Belfast).

I bought an OEM BMW updated DVD 2007-2 which is 'Professional' but my system rejects it. Its says 'Incorrect CD/DVD in Navigation system - please insert appropriate DVD'.

So I downloaded an image of the 2007-2 High Europe DVD from a torrent "Testing purposes only you understand" - burned it, and same message.

Checked the folder layout from my working DVD and both of these and they are the same. Is it possible that I can't use new maps (regardless of High/Professional etc.) in my system.

Sorry to post this here but the Bluetooth one is quite urgent as I'm supposed to pick up the ULF this afternoon and now I'm not sure whether to if theres no way to get it working in my X5.

Thanks again guys for any help with these two.
