Found it surfing and went in person, purchased it and installed it in less than 5 min.

It even uploaded my phonebook.

Like some other users reported, I too get that high hiss noise at higher volume. While it uploads entire phonebook from my Razr V3c, if I have more than 1 phone # entry for the same name/contact (ex, Mike - cell, Mike - Home, Mike -office, it displays only 3 entries for Mike and you are forced to guess or use the handset.

Other than that, it's GREAT!

I found the easiest way is to go back into your address book and append a letter at the end of each entry. Joe C (cell) Joe H (home) etc... It does make using the phone a little more cumbersome to find the appropriate number but the trade off of in car dialing makes ok for me.

I can't believe that BMW would not have a version for the "First" owners of their new 7 Series Model? Surely they are not going to exclude these "valued" customers. BMWNA: can you please tell us when the 2002 owners will be able to get this Upgrade Module?

Take a look at this link: http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/pdf/840103.pdf

Most of the issue with the upgrade has to do with BMW Assist and the use of the phone to dial the service.

Wonder if there are any options if we don't have BMW Assist?

First you have to convert to the 9000 system so you can use the cradle pocket of the new bluetooth insert, but it isn't cheap.
And no, you cant just pluug in the cradle as the wiring is different.

I just spoke to the Parts Manager at one of the local SoCal BMW dealers yesterdday inquiring about what it would take to get Bluetooth working in in Jan 02 production E65. He said that it could be done. It would take retrofitting my CPT8000 to a CPT9000 and then using the BTUM all at a cost of about $2,000. But....he also said that one of his coworkers just came back from some training class and they told him that they are coming out with a more cost-effective way to get BT in the earlier production E65's. Should be out by end of the year. Let's hope he’s right.

The BT connects just fine and I can dial from the dash keyboard or phone and use the steering wheel buttons for connect/disconnect and volume, but no phone book transfer or even most used numbers.

Got one and it works great with my Blackberry. Now I am trying to go to an I-Phone and cannot remember the pairing code. Anybody?

Does anybody know the default PIN setting for the BTUM CPT9K unit?
