They said that a new law was passed saying that all cell phones must have a GPS chip by 2006 so that if you call 911 they will know where you are. I don't want to lose my built-in hands free because of this.
First, does anyone know if there is any truth to this claim that I have to get a new phone?
Second, if I do have to get a new phone, is there any way that I could get the bluetooth option installed in my BMW, and if so, about how much would it cost? Thanks.
Have you found anything out about this. I just bought a 2001 740il which was prewired and had the same phone and was told the whole systemwas useless
