Does anybody know when a factory retrofit of the bluetooth phone option will be available for installation in a 2007 MCS without navi option? I want to be able to use the phone button on the MFSW and have calls run though the head unit. What would the retrofit cost?

Alternatively, what aftermarket bluetooth units are available that utilize the MFSW and have voice dialing capability? Feel free to direct me to a thread if this has been discussed before.

It was sad having to part with the 2005 MCS, but the new 2007 CR/W is really nice!

 

So I understand that Mikey at NewMINIStuff has a Bluetooth kit for the R56 MINI with MFSW integration. This seems to be just what I'm looking for. Does anybody know of a person or shop in the DC area that could be trusted to install this kit if I purchased it?

Bluetooth kit for R56 Mini - MFSW integration + display
This kit is based arround the parrot 3100 bluetooth kit. It is a plug & play kit that connects at the stereo. It mutes the stereo which displays TELEPHONE & plays through the car speakers. You can ACTIVATE VOICE DIAL, ANSWER & END calls from your MFSW. The small display can display call data & your phone book. Please see www.parrot.biz for full compatibility with your phone. The kit is available with our no holes bracket that can be used to mount the display behind the steering wheel - see pic. Please note; the new R56 Mini is very difficult to get to the back of the stereo - only very confident DIYers should try to fit this.
