After the E46/E39/E38/X5 Mk1/Z4 Mk1/X3 Mk1 the TCU went to optical fibre, and it gained a second connector next to the 54 pin one, and is not compatible with your car.

Pros and cons:

The ULF has voice control for the phone and Nav
The TCU has voice control for the Nav only

The TCU apparently has a better ring tone than the ULF.
The ULF needs a pairing button or eject box, the TCU does not.

The EU ULF appears to be quite tricky to pair in a retrofit.
Hello.

Just bought 2008 X3 from USA.
There is a TCU in the car.


Is it possible to use this system in Europe with Nokia 6700 classic?
Thank you.

No, bluetooth only works in America.

Just kidding, turn on the car and make a search from your phone within two minutes.

Could you take a picture of that TCU at the large 54pin black connector please?
