Btum Kit
 

Anybody used this kit yet? We are please to announce a revolutionary new product that allows customers with any CPT9000 hands-free phone system to update their vehicles to use Bluetooth® wireless technology with one simple device.

The Bluetooth® Upgrade Module (BTUM) is shaped exactly like the CPT9000 (Motorola V60 Series) phone and is installed into the phone cradle in place of the original CPT9000 handset. It provides the link between an approved Bluetooth® phone and the vehicle's original phone system. Up to 2 different phones can be paired with the BTUM; however, only one can be used with the system at a time.

Some discussion here?

thanks,just got one from my dealer for $225

I have an 01 X5 4.4i with the CPT9000 system, but when I bought the car the phone was missing. Not a huge deal since I got the car at a steal price. But I want to know if I can just buy a phone from the dealer, and put it in, but what do I do after that? Do I need to hook it up with a service company like T-mobile or Verizon etc................ Or what about this Upgrade you guys are talking about, can I just use this? Can someone Help me?.. Thanks...

Buy A Phone That Works With This System Plug It In And There You Are. You Will Have To Pick Between 6 Phones

The BTUM is the ticket for you if you can acquire one of the phones that work with the system (see this link: http://www.bmwusa.com/owners/bluetooth/phones).

This is relatively new. From what I can find, the service provider doesn't matter as much as having the right phone per the BMW compatibility list. I'm looking for mine later this week and will report back. It looks like a win/win for those who have a CPT9000 system installed but either 1) don't have access to the original phone or 2) want a low-cost upgrade to BT while still being able to use all the built-in functions of the CPT system, such as steering wheel controls and hands-free operation.

The Only Problem Iam Having Is The Phonebook Will Not Load Not Sure If The Numbers Have To Be Save To The Sim Card First.

Which phone are you using? I've read where some phones (like the Motorola V710, for example) were "decontented" by the carrier, in this case, Verizon. You'll find a wealth of info if you Google your phone brand and carrier and Bluetooth.

its the Nokia 6230 should be fine but wont load iam going to try copying numbers to sim and then reconnecting via the BTUM see what happens.

The web link doesn't specifically mention the Nokia 6230, but one of the notes pertaining to another phone states:

"Only entries in the Address Book will be accessible from your BMW. SIM Phone Book entries should be copied to the Address Book in order to be accessed from your BMW." Let us know how it works out after you copy the numbers to the SIM. Good luck!

these are the phones;
The list of compatible phones that have been tested with this system are provided below:

Motorola E815, Motorola V3c Razr, Motorola V551, Motorola V330, Nokia 6230, Sony Ericsson T637, Sony Ericsson S710a.


anyway i copied to both address book and sim so i'll try tonight see if it works.

Ah, good, so you ARE in there! Hope it works!

Didnt Work With The Nokia 6230, It Wouldnt Load The Phone Book The Phone Worked Ok Anyway I Switched Phones To The Razr And Its Working Fine Now Phone Book Loads Up In About 30sec To 1 Min And At Last I Have A Real Phone In The X

Excellent...I'm looking for my BTUM to arrive this morning. We'll see if it works with my company phone (Moto V555). If not, I'll have to wait until the Moto V3c arrives.

What if I have the timeport kit on my car... Can that work with the BTUM, or do I need to get the upgrade? Can someone tell help me, Thanks...

From what I've seen, the BTUM only works with the CPT9000 system, and I think the TimePort may be either the CPT8000 or prior system.

Only works for CTP9000 Dont waste money on upgrade from 8000 to 9000 just get the bluetooth kit from Tom as EAS

So what do you think I should do? How much will a cpt9000 kit cost? Any Idea's?

Expensive Dont Waste Your Time JUST GET THIS http://www.europeanautosource.com/in...ath=67_153_157

$215 for the CPT9000 install kit and approx $900 for the TCU. 9/02 is the earliest production date you can do the upgrade on. Plus another $300 for install and programming and another $295 for the BTUM.


NOW NOT SURE IF THATS 100% CORRECT BUT I FOUND THIS INFO ON ANOTHER FORUM
