Hey team.
I currently have a New Zealand New (not a domestically imported 3) 2010 MPS.
My car came with the bose sound system with cruse control, but doesn’t have Bluetooth.
I am wanting to keep the car as factory as possible so I’m looking to retrofit in the Bluetooth unit, controls and mic.
I have done some searching in this forum and it looks like it is possible to do. I have a few questions on that.
1. Do I need to do any recabling, or should the current cabling be enough?
2. Because I have cruise control, so i need to find a replacement steering wheel with cruise control to harvest the bluetooth button controls?
3. I read a few posts saying that some of the earlier models don’t support song text (im not even sure where that would display), if this is the case, would i need to source a head unit from a newer model?
4. Does the parts need to come from another MPS to work correctly or will any BL be ok to use?
I think that is the main questions I have for now.
I do really love this car and having the Bluetooth integrated rather than using an aux dongle will just make it that much more awesome to me.
thanks all
