RE: E46 phone-prep removal
Unclip the old console, clip in the new one. Your car obviously has bluetooth already - so not sure why you want to pick up another kit? Pair your phone and then just relocate the pairing button, you can hide it under your new cupholders.

Exactly the approach I took when retrofitting the cup holders and ditching the Nokia cradle. The pairing button was relocated under the coin tray for ease of access (in the event of re-pairing or changing phones). No need for an additional BT system.

Thanks Lads, I need to play around with the radio/Bluetooth because it seems temperamental at times, like it won't let me answer a call via the buttons on the steering wheel but instead answer it on the phone itself and then after several seconds the car picks it up.
Ciars pm heading your way, sounds like you've done exactly what I want to do.
RE: E46 phone-prep removal
Having issues with the factory BT in thw compact too.
Mostly have to manually pair the phone with the car now, whereas before
it paired automatically as it should.
Presume it has stopped working right since updating the phone software.
Anyone know a fix for this? :)
RE: E46 phone-prep removal
Same thing happened me DonB after a SW update on a previous phone. It never worked reliably again with that particular phone. All subsequent phones have been perfect. I'm afraid that unless you undo the phone changes, there is not an awful lot you can do (or at least I couldn't, and I exhausted EVERY avenue at the time :D)
RE: E46 phone-prep removal
Cheers for that Ciaran. Phone is getting upgraded to a Galaxy S5 so wondering will that work? Hmm

Herself's is working fine in my car, so at a guess yes you will be fine. My own S2/S3/S4 have been fine in it. It was an old Nokia N8 that caused me issue a few years back.

Any links to where to purchase the iphone adaptor?
