Well, I purchased and installed the Bimmernav.com E90 Bluetooth Upgrade for my non-SOS 2006 325i a week and a half ago (manuf. 08/05). The DIY instructions that came with the kit were pretty straightforward and other posts on this site helped with things like removing the back seats (Torque T50 required) and removing the front roof control center for the mic install. I decided not to install the center console eject box (the inserts were too pricey) which enables use of the car's cellular aerial "sharkfin" antenna and built in charger.

I went to my local dealership and asked for them to re-code the car for the new BT module which they did for .5 hour labor ($50). I picked the car up and the bluetooth functionality worked great but I found that the Voice Assist (which is the prime functionality that I wanted) is in the German language. I drove off and contacted Martin @ Bimmernav about the problem. He insisted that English IS an option and that the dealership simply did not code the MULF/Vehicle correctly. With this info I returned to the dealership to have them re-code the car again. After leaving the vehicle there for a day and a half and receiving an extra 1hr ($100) bill the BMW Service department told me that English would not be possible. They said they even spoke with Martin's BMW contact and also BMW NA trying to resolve the problem (who was not eager to help because it's a Euro MULF). They also stated they have no plans on supporting user added OEM parts (Euro especially) in the future.

Now I'm getting worried and upset. I have contacted Martin @ Bimmernav again who still insists that English IS supported and they are simply not coding the car properly. I'm out $150 in labor costs for a non fully fuctional MULF (since neither my wife or myself are multi-langual) since the Voice Assist is not working for me.

Bimmernav says English is supported on the E90 MULF upgrade and BMW says no.


DOES ANYONE HAVE A BIMMERNAV MULF BLUETOOTH UPGRADE FOR THE E90 THAT HAS ENGLISH VOICE ASSIST WORKING? PLEASE HELP!!
