Hi all,
trying to sort bluetooth issue, replaced TCU, but cannot locate antenna - vehicle is 2005 X5 E53 with sat nav, anyone know where it is located, i have an ariel amp mounted on top od cd/DVD rack where some picture show bluetooth antenna should be?

thanks

Steve

It should be a small black module mounted on top of the near side rear electronics rack.  A couple of plastic nuts should hold it down.

thanks Richard, mine doesn't appear to be mounted there, see below

    Lift up rear seat and pull back rear floor carpet, bluetooth antenna mounted to
  the panel behind the carpet.

    What bluetooth issue do you have ?

thanks,

will have a look there,

I cant get the vehicle to produce a blue tooth signal, Navcoder can see the TCU and I have removed old paired phones but cannot get a bluetooth signal out of it, I have got hold of another TCU (same serial number as one fitted, Motorola unit 84106964113) but wanted to check bluetooth antenna is connected before fitting new unit to vehicle.
