What's that?

I am trying to figure out the next few modes. On top of the list are the Icelink (i will leave one of my iPods permanently in my car), I still can't figure out if I have a bluetooth module or not, is this it? the car built date was 06/04 (not 09/04 as mentioned in an earlier post), so in theory I shouldn't have one.
Can I have both bluetooth and assist. How much would it cost?
Third mod on the list is to figure out a gps solution, I was going to get the car with the bmw gps, but opted not to after trying it out. I don't think it's a bad gps, i just think that it's outdated. I am not yet sure if i'll go with a "portable unit" or not.

Last mod on the list (for now at least) is rear window tinting, since I couldn't find a 04 cpo with the rear climat pkg. My question is what should I use and where can I have it done in Los Angeles? Also is it possible to retrofit the sunshades as well?

cheers.

Regarding adding Bluetooth, with a 6/04 build date you can replace your current Assist module with the updated Motorola combo Assist/BT module so that you can have both. See http://www.xoutpost.com/articles.php?...ticle&artid=48 for more details.

Here is a listing of the Bluetooth modules - http://www.xoutpost.com/articles.php?...icle&artid=171. You would want one of the ones in the lower grouping, and get the latest one you can.

There are ton of tint places in LA so recommending one would be tough. I would suggest you ask your dealer or other highline car dealers in your area to recommend one.

The rear sunshades can be retrofitted but it would be cost prohibitive since you have to replace both of your interior door panels. I think the rear climate package was a steal at $350 for that option.
