BT retrofit kit for 2007 e90

redline2 · 12-02-2007, 08:02 AM

Anyone tried the Bimmernav Bluetooth retrofit kit on a 2007 series e90? Checked my trunk and I see no wires which suggests the car is not pre-wired. US cars are supposedly pre-wired. Have i-Drive with speech recognition which means that at least the microphone should be in. Shapping up to be a dog of a retrofit. Curious if anyone has attempted this yet in Canada.

Thanks.

Searched many times and lots of different opinions and experiences but nothing terribly conclusive. Also, unless my car is special, it is not pre-wired as the US versions appear to be.

Time will tell ...

If I remove the bottom cover in my trunk there is a bundle of unused cables there and I believe it's for the ulf module. I have a 2008 coupe.

I guessed Cdn cars are not BT pre-wired like our American cousin. :sad0147::sad0147:

BT wiring was a $1K option in the 2007 3 series; it is now part of the luxury package -- I suspect if you didn't pay for it, you don't have it...

Didn't get the premium package and my sales guy told me that I could get BT later. Turns out that the "BT later" is an aftermarket Garmin Nuvi. Checked the VIN with the dealer and no pre-wire even though I have i-Drive and Nav. Bimmernav BT retrofit kit already shipped and it assumes car is pre-wired. I enjoy a good challenge

. Will post a DYI if anyone is interested.
