XSeries-forum

All,

Before i plough down the path of fitting a parrot can someone help me determine whether i should or should bot have BT fitted to my car.

I do not think i have from the spec list below despite the steering wheel having all the buttons and it being a facelift july 2005 model. Plus i have the single slot CD Business radio.

I think regardless i will need a  parrot as running iphone 7 so BT will be out of date so to speak


Thanks in advance

Can’t see it listed in that spec.  Should say something like ‘SA633 Preparation, mobile phone, Business’ if you have it.

Cheers I thought as much so at least you have confirmed it.

Will go down the parrot 9200 route once I find someone I trust to fit it.

Least that way will get phone and music.

Thanks

It amazes how so few X5s were specced with handsfree phones given all of the other options that were frequently specced.  I guess it just shows how few people cared about using their phones whilst driving (and how many still don’t).
