Thank you for the reply.
I can't seem to find the bluetooth version in the car, although the display does show my contacts on my phone. The bluetooth info section just says call 1-800-332-4269
www.bmw.com/bluetooth (which throws an error for my VIN)
Have system information ready - L406985-9231090
Nothing useful there.
As for the 1008.bin file, it seems to be rather elusive on the internet. None of the links are working on the forum or via google search...
