If you don't have the MHI connector ion the center console, then forget it - it's over US$1000 in parts and hours of labor. I;d look at an aftermarket unit. I put the mCar in mine. There are others specific to Europe.

If you don't have that, then all you have is the "pre-wiring" which is literally a $5 piece of wiring harness int he center console, and you'd be about $1,000 in parts away from adding factory Bluetooth integration. The problem is, the car's electronics were designed for old, analog cell phones that could use 3-watt signal boosters. The factory parts you'd need to install would include that booster plus other interface equipment for these old analog phones. Then, you'd plug in a "puck" that talks Bluetooth to your modern phone and emulates an old analog phone to the car.
Like I said, I'd go aftermarket. There are several solutions. The mCar was pretty much plug-and-play. It goes in place of the CD changer. It uses the CD changer emulation for iPod and BT streaming integration.

The mCar unit I installed emulates the factory phone interface completely - the steering wheel buttons and the radio buttons all work as per the factory interface. The only non-factory issue is that it has its own dedicated microphone instead of using the factory mic in the overhead control panel.
