Retrofitting Sirius satellite radio 2010 X5

What is required? Is there an adaptor that needs to be installed? If so, does it go in the glove compartment or the in the rear cargo area?

Since we are talking about CIC based i-drive/nav, does the car need to be reprogrammed? Thanks.

Very straightforward.

No hardware update required. Your cic nav computer already has the sirus tuner built into it and your sharkfin includes the satellite antenna.

All that's needed is you pay dealer some cash.

Dealer orders a FSC enabling code from BMW for Sirius.

Dealer programs your car to enable Sirius

Done.

Thanks. It's good to know this in case dealer has no clue or wants to charge a lot more than is needed.
