Question Euro Bluetooth Module for US Vehicle?

Hi All,

I've been looking to retrofit the oem bluetooth system in my vehicle and was wondering if:

I bought a European bluetooth module would it work in my US spec vehicle?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it should work just fine. Post a part number.

Alternately, contact Randy @ http://eiskits.com - a great resource for BT parts, info and service.

yes just as UCrewX5 says. The “ULF” modules are universal with the following languages coded for voice recognition.

* English: U.S, U.K., and Australian
* French
* German
* Italian
* Spanish

Languages are determined by your cars KEY CODING. That means taking out of a car coded for Spanish "should" work in english in your car. I am not sure about the older modules, but I do know this works with the newer ones. Some recoding of languages may be required, although unlikely.

Now keep in mind there are many "Bluetooth" modules
1) Bluetooth assist CDMA and GSM (800/1900 or 900/1800) the cellular radio portion is a Motorola G series cellular module. They basically swap out
with the rest of the module stays the same relatively.
2) ULF module for I bus vehicles “ULF” many versions
3) MULF module for Most bus vehicles (read BMWs ruined by Bangle) a number of revisions

Typically your choice is ULF module as it is easiest to integrate into your BMW. The Assist module required coding and other junk that is not fun

Hope this helps more than hurts in answering your question.

Wow~ Thanks for the great info

After doing some more reading I now know that I should get a Visteon module. I found the following info:

Visteon Bluetooth Module (Bluetooth only, requires removal of the BMW Assist module):
84 21 6 934 552 end of life 06/03 1st generation
84 21 6 938 610 end of life 10/03 2nd generation
84 21 6 934 961 end of life 03/04 3rd generation
84 21 6 950 089 end of life 06/04 4th generation
84 21 6 945 387 end of life 11/04 5th generation
84 21 6 955 522 end of life 04/05 6th generation (do not confuse with the 552 1st generation)
84 21 6 969 268 7th generation

I was wondering if the life span between generations was universal? Like, if I saw a module on Ebay Spain for a Spanish module with the date August 2003, would it for sure be part of the 2nd generation

Also, which generation considered to be a newer module?

Thanks again

These are the newer modules

84 21 6 945 387 end of life 11/04 5th generation
84 21 6 955 522 end of life 04/05 6th generation (do not confuse with the 552 1st generation)
84 21 6 969 268 7th generation The 268 is "identical tothe 522" although it does have a software suffix change -.01 indicating a change, but insignificant change.

I would stick with the 387 or higher where the DSP audio codec is superior to the previous versions.

And yes they are worldwide.
