Hmm ... thats odd. Yes, VR (for phone) still works fine with the new module. It also worked fine with the -114, and as far as I know, the -056 still had VR for the phone .... Do you have a USA vehicle? I did hear of some European vehicles that have had problems with the BT/Assist VR capabilities, but USA cars should be good to go.

can anyone tell me how much you paid for either the -114 or the -056? my dealer quoted me over $1100 for one (not including labor). that seems pretty high, right?

thanks!!

I recently had my TCU replaced (under warranty) and they had it listed at something like $1,300. I'll have to look and see which module they used.

I payed around $600 for the -114, but the latest TCU -798 is around $1300 (actually realoem has it listed for even more) for some reason. I've no idea why they put the price up since its pretty much the same thing !!

I put together as much info as I could on the BT/Assist TCU parts:

09/2004 - 02/2005 84116946993 1st release of integrated BT/Assist TCU. No voice input, however can be added by seperate SES voice module.
03/2005 - 05/2005 84106964114 Added support for voice input (phone only). Added support for Siemens S66 phone
06/2005 - 08/2005 84106965056 Improved performance of Address book transfer on some phones reported.
09/2005 - now 84106963798 Fixed problem of NAV defaulting to Telephone menu on startup.

thanks for the info!
