Questions on Installing Sirius in 2001 X5 w/DSP

Hello All,

I have been reading through all the excellent instructions detailing how to retrofit a Sirius tuner into an old X5. Unfortunately, all of the instructions are for cars with Navigation and DSP, or no Navigation and No DSP. I have a 2001 X5 with DSP and a factory CD-Changer but no Navigation. First question is do I need an old radio to new radio adapter cable in order to accomodate a new in-dash CD-Player, or is this only required for X5's with NAV? Secondly, it appears that the Sirius receiver is cabled in series with the CD-Changer using 3 and 6-pin cables. Currently, my CD-Changer is attached using a Coax (Digital Audio) connection. Should there be an unused 6-pin analog audio cable somewhere in the trunk? If so, do I disconnect the Coax connection and use the 6-pin analog connection instead? Finally, I'm also installing a Bluetooth kit in the car from Advanced Autovations. Does this change any of the Sirius install kit requirements?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Dave
