If you search over there for 'Bluetooth retrofit" you should find a few posts, but they're all basically the same as what I've posted here. The primary complication, from what I understand, is that the Bluetooth module is built in with a number of other computerized bits, which means that a number of other pieces like wiring harnesses to otherwise unrelated electronics need to be changed to be made compatible.


That makes more sense then with the link.
So reading it looks like nobody has really got into a retrofit harness and dropping a ULF module in. Certainly there is one vendor of the harness now, so I'll work on that.

In terms of a challenge to do it - I love it. As mentioned before I've retrofitted 2 OEM BMW systems already and they both required a lot of dismantling and wiring. Any electronics will be OK as I've built my own paddle shift steptronic gearbox controllers, MFSW installs, even built unique AE headlights on both Bimmers. I just love these projects

Skipper - thanks fo the Parrot suggestion
