Prem Sound and Satellite Questions

[jacb1301]

Again just reviewing our order and thinking that we would like to have satellite radio. Looking around the forum, am I correct in saying that ALL new x5's have sat radio capablity, it just needs to be coded by BMW (or hacked)?

On that note, is it difficult to find after factory speakers that fit the x5? Thinking if I need to I could replace the factory speakers and install sat radio for less than the prem sound pkg. Especially given that some folks are saying they don't think the premium sounds is all that "premium"...

I just want to make sure the sat radio works seamlessly with idrive, so maybe I do need to pay the extra to ensure that...yes, no?

Get the premium sound and don't molest your new vehicle trying to redo the stereo.
