hi

im new to the forum. i bought a 2002 x5 d sport at christmas and have had a few problem that i have managed to fix using this forum so thanks.

my car seems to have a built in system for the phone ie a cable what looks like being used for a seimens in the centre arm rest. is there any way that i can get this cable changed or bluetooth in the car so i can use my galaxy s2 or any other phone.

now im resorting to a bluetooth hands free but would just like to have one integrated into the car.

i look forward to any help that yous can give

frankie

There probably is, but it won't be cheap. I had the Bluetooth equivalent of what you have and it would only pair with the supplied handset. I had to plug my sim card into a lot in the armrest.

You will at least need a Bluetooth TCU to replace whatever module the car system uses. BMW do make a retrofit kit, some of which you may well have in terms of wiring. It does require some recoding by a Dealer. I have a copy of the instructions, or you can get them from bimmerretrofit dot com (although you will need to register to download the PDF manual).
