Bluetooth Phones

[dmccall]

I just got a 2004 325i and did not get the phone package because my old cell phone won't gybe with it. However, in October we will be reupping our plan and getting new phones. Should I get a bluetooth cell phone? What harware upgrades does my 325 need? How much is it?
How does a bluetooth cell phone work with BMW's phone system???

Thanks!

I think the reply to this one was on one of the forums.....dont remember which now....I read that the local Beemer dealr can do it for you but its costs like 400$ labor and parts......i dunno if you can do it yur self..something needs to be activated at the dealership.......

You don't state what options you have. BT will not coexist with BMW Assist. Otherwise, if your car is relatively new, you should be fine. If you have Assist, good luck getting someone to help you. BMWNA has been giving me the runaround. I have a copy of the service buleting showing the steps to disable BMW Assists and enable BT, but the person at BMWNA who has been responding to me doesn't think it's possible to do and keeps referring me to a dealer.

LOL, thought I caught it in time. I meant to say he didn't say what options he had on the car, but it didn't come across that way so I edited it. I tend to think more clearly than I write.

You must be pretty quick since I changed it almost immediately.
