Bluetooth activation in a 523iL

Just bought a new 523iL in Shanghai which will be delivered very soon. For some reason the bluetooth is not available as standard or an option, but does come on the models above.

The nab system appears to be the same as the models above, so I guess that bluetooth is fitted but not activated. Any idea how to activate it?

I don't think is a simple matter of just keying in a code.

Although you have the buttons on your steering wheel, your iDrive needs update and maybe a module need to be installed.

Check with your local dealer to find out how to retrofit it, as it cost some HK members around 3-4000 HKD to have the bluetooth retrofitted.
