 Need help with hands free



I hope someone has the answer.
I have tried to look through all the thread to make sure I am not posting questions that have been answered, so if I am (I am sorry)

I have just found out from my dealer that because my 530I is 2004 it is not compatible with any bluetooth technology.
I am wondering if anyone knows of any bluetooth (third party) technology that can be installed into my car and if no how can I take advantage of the hands free system preferably for Blackberry. (cradle ok)

thanks
Versace

Motorola makes a bluetooth car kit--check their website. Not sure if it will work in E60, but does in Porsches (which also have the MOST system).

Thank you for your reply.

so this kit hooks up to your buttons on the stearing wheele?
Which kit have you used in the Porsches ?

I believe cars (with nav. ??) built after a date in April 2004, not sure exactly what date, have the proper TCU to support Bluetooth and can be upgraded to Bluetooth with a software patch.

I have a May 2004 545 with nav and had Bluetooth installed by my dealer. If you cannot get an answer from your dealer contact BMWNA.

Did your dealer install an aftermarket-type bluetooth system, in that, it does not interface with iDrive?
