Question regarding Bluetooth retrofit in a 2005 A8
I'm in the market for a 2005 A8 SWB. Found the perfect one, except for one problem - the VIN is a mere 200 less than the 10650 I've been looking for (in order to have Bluetooth instead of OnStar). However, the price is great, it has every other option I want, and it is certified.
So, my question is: how much work and money are involved in retrofitting the OEM Bluetooth system a car with a VIN number 200 higher than this one would have? I checked out Kufatec.de, and I see there are quite a few different OEM "kits"
1.) <a href="http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p556_Bluetooth-Kit-Retofit-Audi-A8-4E--only-bluetooth--incl--SDS.html">Bluetooth Kit Retofit Audi A8 4E "only bluetooth" incl. SDS (719 Euro)</a>
2.) <a href="http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p733_Audi-Bluetooth-Car-Phone--with-SAP--A8.html">Audi Bluetooth Car Phone (with SAP) A8 (849 Euro)</a>
3.) <a href="http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p337_Bluetooth-Kit-Retofit-Audi-A8-4E.html">Bluetooth Kit Retofit Audi A8 4E (849 Euro)</a>
4.) <a href="http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p557_Bluetooth-Kit-Retofit-Audi-A8-4E-incl--Speech-Diolog-System.html">Bluetooth Kit Retofit Audi A8 4E incl. Speech Diolog System (949 Euro)</a>
What are the differences? Which one would I need? How much work is involved in installing one? Would I have the same (or more) functionality as if I bought a later-2005 A8?
Thanks in advance for the help, advice, and/or clarification :-)

Would you be kind enough to tell us the pin-outs of the wiring harness please...
There shouldn't be that many wires connected.
A close up picture of the connector would be ideal showing the pinouts.
A few of us here have the BT boxes, but would be nice to check the pinouts with the actual oem harness.
Thanks!
