Oh! There's a new one coming out? The bluetooth module works very well (minus the address book download) with my Verizon - Palm Treo 700p, in my current '07 E550. My '08 E63 comes in this week, so I'll be moving the module to the new car.

Have you heard anything about projected timeframe for the new module release?

Totally agree, bought mine on ebay and saved about $150 new in box but keep an eye because some auctions jump to near dealer price, some don't. The last 4 of the part you want is 5878

I have the new version and the older one... Believe it or not, the older one has better voice quality. The reason I bought the new one is because the address book didnt transfer from my BlackBerry 8800 using the older unit.

Now with the new unit, the address book transfers just great, BUT... Everyone tells me that it sounds like I am talking in a cave..

That's strange, most people tell me they can't hear the difference between any phone I am on, wired, cell, or the bluetooth. Now assuming my voice isn't just messed up I'm guessing there is something curious about your setup.
