Post by jason1872 » Mon Apr 27, 2015 12:50 pm

Hi all I've removed the factory Motorola phone kit from my car and replaced it with the bmw ulf bluetooth module, my phone connects every time I've got my numbers on the nav screen I can dial numbers make calls bug I have no audio and person on the other end cannot hear me and I cannot hear them, any ideas as to what is going on?

When you fitted the ULF did you fit the eject box? I don't know if the mike etc is linked through the eject box.
I have read that you need to fit a voice jumper or things may not function correctly

Mic feeds straight to the ulf.
The output from ulf feeds as a mono signal to your amp.

You dont need cradle for ulf Bluetooth. But does mean you need another method to pair it..

I have some wiring diagrams on my laptop somewhere for this.. As I retrofitted mine
Will have a look when I next go on it..

audio goes in via one of the two 10way plugs in the audio loom.
Can't remember if its the same one as the CD input or the other?
But think its same as the CD input.

The intravee install may have removed them????
