You can get an updated bluetooth module from forum member Wiggs, it's £60 on an exchange basis. Note however that the module has a limit of 300 contacts. Is the integration you want for phone only or is it more Ipod functionality you want?

I use the AUX connection to play my iPhone through the sound system, and like you I'm not a fan of cables all over the place, but I'm reluctant to fork out the £400 or so it costs for the LR Ipod retrofit kit, so AUX cable it is until it really bursts my head enough to go for it! |

the LR kit you talk about, is the one which only has 5 play lists and has a switch to change from cd changer to ipod? or is the £400 kit the all singing all dancing BT integration i am looking for? cheers Rory |

2 separate things. The LR Ipod adaptor lets you use the touchscreen and steering wheel buttons to control music on your device. It has no BT functionality, so the updated BT module allows the iPhone to connect and transfer contacts to the car and make phone calls. It doesn't play music. Might be best to imagine your iPhone as 2 discreet devices, an iPod which plays music (through the AUX input or LR adaptor) and a phone which uses the BT module. cheers Alan Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey |

I believe I read on here that the iPod kit interferes with the bluetooth kit, so it may be worth some further investigation before you spend all that money. |

Sorry to pull up an old thread but if I buy the iPhone cradle from the dealer and connect it to the adaptor in the arm rest will I be able to play music from my phone/ iPod using the touchscreen? 06 4.2 SC Bonatti Grey/ Ivory |

The only dealer you can get an iPhone cradle from is BMW - and that only for the earlier console and with modifications.

Ah ok thank you, mine is an 06 but 07 MY. If I buy the audio connectivity module will I need to upgrade my existing Bluetooth also? 06 4.2 SC Bonatti Grey/ Ivory |
