Canadian Newbie Questions

Canadian models come with different options than US models. The Premium Package does not have Bluetooth or Assist. It does have heated seats, Xenons (no washers), panorama roof, and a few other differences.

I have installed the AUX adapter in my top bin, and am happy with it.

My questions are:
- How do I know if I'm prewired for Sirius? Can I tell from the pre-wire bundles?
- Can I use one of the pre-wires for my GPS?
- Does the optional CD changer support MP3?
- Any way to display ID3 tags for an MP3 on a CD?
- I removed the center bin - my wire bundle only has two plugs in it - what does this mean?
- Bluetooth: I'd like to buy a kit. I've looked at Martin's, and am interested, but don't want to deal with duty, UPS fees etc. Does BMW Canada sell a retrofit kit? My dealer can get individual parts, which add up to quite an expense (I think CAD$850 for the ULF).

I'll have more questions
Thanks
Andre

Andre,

As a fellow canuck, I have a few of your answers:

- no prewire for Sirius in Canada (at least not in my '06)
- optional CD changer does support MP3's (P/N 82-11-0-028-760)
- no display of ID3 tags with in-dash CD or changer
- 2-wire bundle in console for CD is normal (no DSP)
- Bluetooth/Assist - I ended up buying my car with factory installed, but had same price range quoted on retrofitting a 2005 with BT (no assist)

No idea on your GPS question...

Cheers,

Pierre

Thanks for the replies Pierre.
Do you know why there's 3 co-ax type plugs in the rear compartment? I assumed one was for Sirius.
My stereo does have DSP - should I have more wires in the console?

Cheers
