Can i swap this:

E65 730d Saloon, M57N, Europe, RHD, AUTO (GM22) : Single parts, SA 630, trunk
Transmitter-receiver SIEMENS BIT II 1 84116931712

Which has the Siemens handset in the centre console/dash (with sim card fitted to car)

For this:

E65 730d Saloon, M57N2, Europe, RHD, AUTO (HM22) : SINGLE PARTS F TRUNK CAR TELEPHONE

And have bluetooth? Where would the bluetooth antenna plug in?

Jochen - any ideas? Looking at WDS the wiring is the same, so straight swap?

Probably be fine. Coding it for the E65 is a question - not sure how much inter-dependence with other MOST systems occurs.

Basically, if the TCU was a valid option for the E65, then changing it would be fine

After fitting, you would need to code it with a BMW diagnostic system to ensure functionality

And the Bluetooth antenna connects to the bluetooth antenna plug on the TCU :-)

Ok - so looks like i will be giving it a go then!

I beleive the TCU's only needed coding if you wanted the VR turned on, or it had Assist and therefore needed the VIN number. But as this doesn't have assist and would be coming out a car that where VR is already enabled i'm 'hoping' it wont need coding, but then i dont know much about the MOST system.

Thanks again
