This is the passthrough for a CD Changer or DICE kit. The HD DICE kit is also compatible.

Pressing the MODE button will navigate through the CD Changer, XM, in-dash CD as well as AM/FM.

Both can coexist in the X5. We have a our final shipment of XM Direct kits in stock, ordering before march 29th will ensure you get the $50 rebate.
