Aftermarket BT units
Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2014 4:53 pm
Hi all, New X5 owner -- picked her up this morning and so far verrrry happy.
I have a question about the aftermarket bluetooth units that you can get for the X5. I have fitted similar in other cars (GROM in the wifes Discovery and an XCarLink in my old celica) They worked great... except... In both cases if a call came through while you where listening to the RADIO then you were not notified by a ringing through the car speakers. If I was streaming music it worked fine (as the music and phone came through the same BT link).
Ive read on here about BT units that replace the CD changer (same as the GROM) but am I right in assuming they have the same limitation?
If so, in browsing these forums I've heard tell of a man who, should you cross his palm with silver will modify the BT module to enable music streaming. I can find his name on the forum but not how to get in touch with him. Does anyone know if he still modifies the units and how to get hold of him?
Thats all for now, but helloooo and thanks for any help
