Brought the 2000 740i home on Friday. Now looking to start dumping money into it....;)

Anyone have a used bluetooth module they aren't using anymore and are willing to part with it? Is there a good used resource for finding these besides ebay?

I had to clean out my garage to fit the car in... We have lived in this house for 3 years and never put both cars in there...

Since there is no upgrade better than Bluetooth, there are not a lot of BT modules for sale yet.

I think you're going to have to hope for someone to have installed BT in their E38/E39/etc. and remove it for you when they sell it. However, that may be unlikely since it may lower the value of the car more than the price you are willing to pay.

Note also that older BT modules have less functionality and may work with fewer phones. Unless you are sure your phone works with an older BT module, I would avoid a used BT module. I believe the latest BT module is version 11; version 1, which many US dealers still sell, is plagued with problems.

Martin at Bimmernav.com would be a good person to ask about which used BT modules are better than others.
