I've never seen an official BMW e53 X5 audio system with CD & SD slots in front...so more than likely you have an aftermarket system. Especially if the steering wheel buttons do not function.

Do a search for bmw e53 nav upgrades and see if what you have installed appesrs. Eonon jumps to mind as one of the few aftermarket options.
