You have to go to the satellite radio option under the idrive menus, should be under radio. Once your there you should click option or just search around for a phone number that you have to call. Once you call they will set up your account and give you the 1 year free subscription.
I kinda find the satellite radio useless, that's my opinion. |

There has got to be a hack or something where you can do it yourself... I bought an X5M and didn't even realize it didn't have satellite radio. But I know all the hardware is there, just not the software and I refuse to pay BMW to "code" it... Jeff |

if you X5 is a new delivery the dealer should set you up to receive a 1 year free subscription. If your X5 is not new, assuming you have Sirius installed--AND if you have the controller (mouse) for the video display, go to main menu/radio/satillite radio/select a channel and you should receive a message showing sirius phone number 1-999-539-SIRIUS and a 12 digit ESN (electronic serial number) will be displayed. IF you do not have controller and no video screen. You probably have a business radio. Select the button on the radio to flip between FM/AM/CD/SAT and choose SAT for Satellite. Typically channel 1 will display the ESN. Once you have the ESN, call Sirius and wait on hold for 1/2 hour and finally you will be set up. If SAT does not show up, it is likely you do not have Sirius installed.
