cpt8000 on a Bluetooth Pre-wired
 

Ok, got a free TCU/Cradle for MY02 X5. After getting the cradle installed, I began to tackle installing the TCU, after removing the panel, found the wires for phone, but only thing is that it's the 54 pin instead of the 25 pin from the TCU adapter. My M5 was easy to install, just plug and play, so my question is, is there an adapter so I can use the CPT8000 with the X5? If so what's the part# for that TCU adapter ? Unless someone has the wiring diagram for Bluetooth and the CPT8000, I can find a LPT1 printer cable and make my own connections. Thanks for any info I can get. I would like to get BT, but too expensive for me right now...since I got this unit for free and already have the phone from my M5.

Wow...most people want to go the other way around...from the older DB25pin cable to the newer 54pin bluetooth connector. My BT kit does exactly that and it was made using a male/female DB25 pin connector anyway from Advanced Autovations. So you might as well do it yourself. Order it from them and you'll be waiting for months...that's if you get a reply at all!

anyone have a wiring TSB for Bluetooth? I found one for the CPT8000, now just need it for BT so I can match the correct wires.

:goodluck:

Well BMW released a conversion to go from 54 to 25 pin, bought that but when I plug in the phone, it still asks if "Phone Connected" and the Red Light on. The Phone does charge though, so there's something else missing. I thought it would just be plug and play when I bought the conversion from BMW.

No one knows...hmmm
