Not sure how the UK/EU cars are configured.  However, it's likely
that you will need to buy the Bluetooth kit
(transmitter/receiver/microphone)
and get it installed.  Over here in the US, they're around $500 and
take a couple of hours to install.

Hi,

I have a 2003 plate bmw 318i SE with multifunction steering wheel.
There are about 8 buttons on the wheel, two of which are: R/T and a
face with sound waves projecting.

I do not have any other buttons around the dashboard or autobox which
are related to handsfree bluetooth phone functionality.

As I understand it the activation of bluetooth functionality is not
standard, but can be performed afterwards by an engineer.

Is this possible/ expensive?
Is the sound quality good at both ends?
Can any mechanic perform the install, ie is it software related or do
you need extra buttons/ cabling?

Thanks for your help
