Finally, after connecting the I-BUS from the white X400 connector in the trunk directly to PIN 15 of 54 ULF connector - it was detected my car system.
Next I had problem with pairing initiation - couldn't start it.
May be my eject box was defective (bought it from ebay).
What I did is I extracted pin no. 1 (blue) from the ELO 18 connector under armrest and connected it to pin no 17 (brown - ground) - using it instead of pairing button from the eject box - and it WORKED !
Now I have bluetooth finally. And I like to have the old phone on armrest instead of the ejectbox(even the phone is useless) - looks more "rich"
Nice present for Christmas

E38, 09'99, MK4, 16:9, Bluetooth finally ! :)
