also, i emailed another dealer requesting a
quote for a new radio module. now, i'm even
more lost. here's his reply (the most recent first) -

4:24PM today - "Well, the new ones come with a Sirius sat prep #691. That is not the problem, the problem, I believe, is that your radio does not have an aux input like the new ones, to plug the Sirius in. That part number is for a $1000.00 radio. Let me know what the forums bring you. "


2:48PM Today - "Unfortunately, as you probably already know, your production date does not apply to Sirius w/ Nav. I do not know what module you are talking about. I don’t believe this is a factory item. If you want to stay OEM, you might need to put a newer radio in it. That would be costly and might not work. Search the forums and see what this module is and if it is BMW, try and get a part number."
