Need help with bluetooth
 

hey guys, so I made a trip to Lebanon after not being there for 14 years, when I came back I got the heater switch for the heater problem I had before and also got a Bluetooth computer thing.

Im not sure how it works when I plugged in every thing the only plugs I was able to plug in was the big wiring harness and the blue wire from the x5 I was left with other wires a cream looking head one that didn't fit anywhere.

on the module on one end I have the wire harness plug and the other end I have 3 tabs sticking out from left to right the colors are black purple and blue

this came from a 2004 4.4 x5 my x5 is a 2005

the sticker info on the module are as follow

84.116947308
232925 23
usa 11.02.2004
Motorola
BMW EVEREST IBUS US
SW:69 HW:13
BT:
PK:
ESN 146-02284008
UIS0060825 EVUIBS1011


Another thing is when I plugged it in the x5 the TEL button on the dash the RED light turned on and when I pressed on the TEL button it said PLEASE WAIT...

also when I did a search on the phones Bluetooth it picked up a long number/letters but when I press on it, it failed to connect

Do I have the wrong module or something? my father is still in Lebanon tell the 1st so if I could get help and info on this maybe he could get me the right one before he comes if the one I have is wrong

THANKS!!

That part number is an early 2004 unit which has BMW assist only.
No Bluetooth.

You'll need to find a TCU from 2005 or later.

yep, spongerich has it right. A guy I work with has an 04 5 series module with similar numbers, no bluetooth.

so any thing under 2005 wont work ?

Read it and weep....yes, everything stated above is true...the e53 X5 didn't get integrated BT until 10/2004 build date...which would have been around the beginning of the 2005 model year. :(

I looked for a retrofit for my friend who has an 04 5 series - very spendy module, as I recall.

hey guys I have found one but it is also from a 2004 IBUS and has blue tooth would that work or it has to be from a 2005?http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDUwWDgwMA...VERTS/$_27.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDUwWDgwMA...VERTZ/$_27.JPG

Ones from after October 2004 SHOULD work, but I'd stick with 05 or newer to be sure.

You can install a Mediabridge that will give you bluetooth, aux, USB and Sirius radio if you want.
