Retrofit bluetoth using tcu ece(European) in a US x5 e53

I GOT IT TO WORK, FINALLY !!!

My setup is based on the ECE TCU that is listed above in my screenshots.

The only part that I didn't quite get is that I had to force the unit to go into Pairing Mode using INPA, and that's the only way I was able to pair my phone to the unit. NavCoder didn't seem to have been working, although it detected the unit and showed it to me as it was available for re-programming, I wasn't able to get my unit into BT Pairing.

As of now - the unit doesn't go into pairing mode on the ignition restart, unlike what most people suggest that TCU enters pairing mode for the first two minutes.

FYI:

I removed all phone related options from my Vehicle Order and added SA633 only for the setup to start working.

Any suggestions on how to get the vehicle to enter the bluetooth discoverable mode? Should I recode the Vehicle Order with some other SA option?

Thank you.

Could you please advise how you did this with INPA? I have the unit visible as a TCU in INPA and can turn Bluetooth on and off, but there doesn't seem to be a pairing option of any sort. Can you please advise?

Cheers
