Thanks for the response...actually got the answer... my '05 was made 12/04...does need the module, and found this part of a thread on "another" BMW forum, as well as another thread from someone using this p/n...

Mine (came with a CPT8000 kit) was the 84 41 4 108 519. The manual (for all, and the same as the Bluetooth ULF voice command manual) is 84 11 0 027 942. The module is common across all I-bus/K-bus cars (E38 / E39 / E46 / X3 / X5 / Z4).
