For all of you phone connection experts out there...

[FAT_X5]

I just realized that I have the wiring for a phone of some type. I also have the buttons on the radio... What do I need to convert this to either a bluetooth system(that can be used through the steering wheel and radio) or to hardwire a phone..? Do they still make parts to connect newer phones?

Thanks!

Yes, they do parts for newer phones just check if there is a snap in adaptor for your phone and also check the compatibility issue

I have a 2003 X5 4.4 and I replaced the whole phone (had a cpt8000) to a new Moto Razar with bluetooth. It took me about 2hrs. It was pretty easy once you got everything out of the way. It works just like the old phone, same voice control commands ect. Go to www.bimmernav.com for all of the picture instructions. Price was over $800 for the kit.. not including phone.
Alo check out Razr Adapter Retofit Project by Craig Hoy fom Canada. I sent him my old console eject box and he did the complete retrofit. He gives you instructions but for the price he charged I let him do it .
My dealer here was going to charge $1500.00 and they are useing the old version of the Generation BMWULF module. Good luck
