I do have the antenna module you mentioned but wasn't sure whether to install it in the front or back (in the M3 it was actually installed in the center console but it's the wrong gender connector for the X5's arm rest connector).
Based on your response I believe I should connect the antenna to the rear purple connector and connect the white connector to the ULF (I've seen pictures of the purple connector connected to the ULF as well, but no idea where the antenna is in those installs).
Any idea how to pull up the signal strength display on the HU? I could really use this to validate the antenna connection.
Regardless, I'll post some pics tonight.
Thanks again,

- Correct, it isn't. Only if you want to use the eject box and the car's antenna.
- The antenna module installs at the top of the componet rack (where the CD changer is) with 2 plastic nuts. See page 4 of this
LINK for a diagram.
- I'm not sure what you mean by
"I should connect the antenna to the rear purple connector" Which antenna are you referring to? Refer to install instructions in the link above to answer any remaining questions. I think that will explain it
- I'm not sure what an "HU"is, but if you snap your phone into the snap-in adapter , just read the bar strength by opening the flip. If there aren't any bars, then the antenna is not connected properly. There is no way to read signal strength via the MID btw.
