Says V50 and I think I read about new versions like 52 or 53?

- Time

yeah, v50 is going to be way too old for your new F33. 54.0 is out now.

Send me a PM if you want to update it.

Awesome I am just new to the Forum and just got my White 435i M-Sport will try to be there to meet some members of the community.

Please remember to RSVP, it will give Frogman & I an idea of how many cars will be there and needs to be coded. To make sure cars will be coded in an orderly manner, I will code cars based on the priority of RSVP list.

Frogman,
Can you add the RVSP link to your original post?

I live in orange county and based on what I see here you are the genius when it comes to coding. I would like to pay you for your services whatever amount you like to get the car coded to SAT . this is the only mod I care and need. if you can help me out plz contact me at 949 412 1521 and I will come to you. again thanks for all your help and looking forward to hearing from you.

I have been offered by few locals to get this mod done but i drove 200 miles to meet this gift from god to do this as safely as possible. Thanks again for all your help. If 1 out of 1000 people was like him the world would have been a much better place.
Ps i strongly believe that changing to sports automatic transmission will also activate the rev matching feature. Ive never seen this anywhere on the forum. But the speed in which the rpm rises upon downshifts is the proof

xdaflipguyx · 11-04-2014, 01:20 PM

Hello everyone... I'm new here and hope to meet you guys on Nov. 22... I'd also like to have bluetooth for music enable for my car... Thanks and see ya'll at the meet...

Hmm I am curious as to how your car drives now with that feature. Are you coming out to the Nov 22 one?

noein · 11-07-2014, 02:59 AM

Hi I drive a 320i but I'd also like to get my car coded for bluetooth audio if possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as our cars are 2014 without nav it should work? Either way thanks.

Enhanced Bluetooth (EBT) can only be coded if you have a ComBox. It has nothing to do with you having navigation or not.

There are 2 versions of the ComBox:

1. If you have an NBT navigation system ('14 or later), the Combox is built into the head unit.

2. The standalone Combox in the trunk. Check under the trunk cover (pull it all the way out). If you have it, it will be on the left hand side near the rear seats. It's a silver finned box with wires coming out of it. If you don't have it, there will just be an empty hole.

For North America, yes but I would not say the same for other countries.

Only way to know for sure is to go to bmwvin.com, put in the last 7 digits of your VIN. If you see options 6AC, 6AE and 6NH there then it's possible.

No 6NH

Just these so it probably won't work?
06AE TELESERVICES
06NH Hands-free with USB interface
06VB Control for Infotainment

Do you have the commbox in the trunk? If you do, then we should be able to enabled EBT.

Yes... Her trunk looks like the pic zmanH2 posted.

(My car is loaded... I just want a few things enabled like folding mirrors, psi display, video in motion etc.)

But if she has the combox as shown you can code BT streaming?

Yep, should be no problem.

EBT includes:

1. BT streaming.
2. Up to 2 phones paired to the car simultaneously.
3. Office (read e-mail and SMS on iDrive).

If she's using an iPhone, we can also set the car to play the phone ring tones instead of the default BMW tone.

Hello, new here. I have a f30 and I need EBT. However I cannot make the Tustin meet. Can it be done remotely by someone? I will be glad to pay for the service. Thanks

Yep, this is good enough. If you have 6AC or 6AE, that means you have the built in combox so it can be enabled via coding.

I'm curious, Is Enhanced Bluetooth (EBT) the same as that Enhanced USB and Bluetooth thing they sell for $500? And if the sports transmission can be coded to the regular one then are those two options just $500 add-ons than can be turned via coding?

What do you lose if you don't buy "Enhanced USB and Bluetooth plus Smartphone Integration" and "Sport Automatic Transmission"
