New 645 ci owner
Discussion
Hello to you all.
Last Saturday I went in to BMW to pursuade the wife to swap her Alfa for a 3 series (she didn't) but I walked out having put a deposit on an '05 645ci! She loved this one, if not the 3 series!
Pick the car up Saturday so can have a proper play then, but it has the professional phone (not blue tooth) and the stealer said i'd need to put my sim card in it to function. Is there a retrograde fit blue tooth option, or could i get a duplicate sim for the car. Can't see me being bothered to swap the sim for anything but very long journeys...
It has Sat nat but not TV...is there a retrofit option for this?
Also has Logic7 audio...presume that's pretty good then?
The above may be stupid questions so sorry in advance if they are. And if anyone says why didn't I just buy a car with blue tooth and TV...they are not that important to me, just a nicety if fittable..
Cheers,
Virgil

You can retrofit the tv system but it costs over £1000. My previous 7 series had it fitted as standard and in my opinion it's a complete waste of money. I never watched it and my 12 year old son soon got bored with it. The only use I can see for it is for a proffesional driver to watch while waiting for his passengers.

Duplicate sims can be had, i had one in a company saab 9-3 but you lose gprs functionality, or at least you do with vodafone. All you do is dial a * xxx * number when you get in the car and another when you get out.
Thanks, for this...is it an official thing, or a 'tweek'?...company phone so need it official as poss. Cheers,
Neil.
I'm starting to see some regular names talking about the 645 
I'm a bit behind the times re posts, but what I did is get the multi-sim deal from Vodafone and have a bluetooth compatible phone permanently in the car.
I had an ericcson k750i lying round the house, went to the local dealer, ordered the car kit for 60odd quid, and there you go. each time i step into car *131# and the phone is primary.
Must warn that if you go multi-sim route, then you lose picture messaging and stuff like that, but a phone for me is simply to make calls......
