Subject: Unofficial parts list for TCU-based Bluetooth retrofit Author: Brian (moderator) : member since January, 2005 : 8599 posts Posted on: 2009-05-13 19:43:21

This is the unofficial parts list for the TCU-based Bluetooth retrofit. The only part I am not 100% sure about yet is the DB25 to ULF adapter, but a few folks have recently ordered those, so we will have confirmation very soon.

84.10-9 195 455 Bluetooth Assist TCU with voice recognition
84.31-6 938 762 Upgraded microphone
84.50-6 928 461 Bluetooth antenna
61.12-0 137 616 Bluetooth antenna cable
84.12-0 308 375 DB25 to 54-pin ULF/TCU plug adapter
