Sounds positive
I can bring it do a garage that can code - but they haven't enabled enhanced bluetooth with office functionality before. Is there any chance you could tell me (step by step) what exactly needs to be done in order to enable enhanced BT + office functionality. Thanks, Jamie |

I added Enhanced BT to my 2-day old F31 (with Pro Nav) last night. To be honest, there was nothing in it that I really wanted, I was just curious about the process. I didn't find any up-to-date documentation online so I fumbled about a bit and it worked eventually.
I wish I had taken a note of the process as it was a little bit trial and error but basically, connect to the car via E-Sys - change the 6NK to 6NS under FA, and then in the coding screen, right-click on the HBT_NU folder and select 'Code'. iDrive then rebooted and came back up with Enhanced BT. I tested audio over BT from my iPhone and that worked fine, including album art display over BT which surprised me. I was also able to add a second BT device as a second connection (someone else's phone). Then I just changed some iDrive bluetooth settings (and made sure BT notifications were enabled in iOS). I fiddled about with Office briefly and got some SMS message appearing in the display (and was able to have them read out) but to be honest, I'm really not convinced about the value of this - Siri Eyes Free seems to work really well for me (and the text-to-speech is better with Siri) so I'm not sure if I'd even use it. I didn't bother trying emails. So, I'm glad I didn't pay for EBT. Even if I hadn't added it, I wouldn't be missing anything as I prefer having my iPhone connected via USB, I only have one phone, and the office functions seem a bit clunky (Siri EF is more useful IMO). However, if any of the above are important to you, it's worth adding it in for the cost of a cable and a large download. If you want the snap-in/enhanced reception functionality, you have no choice but to order it as an option. Last edited by mproudfoot; 10-03-2013 at 05:00 AM.. Reason: typos |

I actually wasn't aware of Siri Free. How do I tell if my car is capable of this? (It's a facelift F10 - 2014 model) Thanks! |

I've never got a straight answer on what you do and do not need a token for - does anyone here know or sure?

Seems that changing anything under VO (such as changing 6NK to 6NS) can be done sans token but changing individual module parameters (FDL) such as enabling video in motion, displaying the tyre pressure/temp in idrive, changing number of sprays per headlight wash etc requires a token.
I'm probably going to order one as I'd like to enable the tyre pressure/temp display, change how I fold/unfold mirrors, remember my last auto-stop/start status, enable USB video and allow closing tailgate from key fob. |

I don't think you'll get tyre pressure display as EU cars use a cheaper system to those in the US which works on the rotational speed of the tyre.

As for the token if you are going to the effort of downloading the software, buying or making the cable, figuring out how it works, you may as well get the token! |

They are a useful feature as they can display the actual tyres pressures + temps. There are flaws in the rotational system on EU cars. |
