E46Pilot is on a distinguished road
Another X3 Sirius install

Car: X3 2007 4/07 with NAV
Receiver: 65 12 0 416 377
Install Kit: 84 11 0 390 943 (without NAV 84 11 0 390 240)

I installed it last night and it was very easy.
The install kit is a rip-off, this is what is inside:
07 11 9 901 061, 4ea. screws to mount unit
41 35 7 060 601, 1ea. clip nut
51 34 1 950 474, 1ea. bolt
65 12 0 397 740, 1ea. antenna connector

The screws to mount can be purchased at any hardware store,
they are short/stubby so they do not enter the receiver unit very far.
We don't want any shorted circuit boards.

The clip nut and bolt, The bracket that holds the NAV DVD has 3 bolts and 1 nylon insert nut for a total of 4 attachment points. The instructions showed to add these parts to the bottom bolt location for the bracket.
Since there is a clip nut and bolt already there and is already being used by the bracket, these parts are not needed.

Antenna connector, there is only ONE antenna connector there now, on my car it was white, this does not fit into the receiver so you need to remove the white connector and install the curry colored one that is in the kit. I'm sure that is connector can be found online somewhere instead of paying 40 to 50 bucks.

There is also a CDC extension cable in that wire bundle, since I do not have a CD Changer, this connector did not get connected.

Radio, you need to get into the back of the radio to swap white connectors, sqeeze the black lever and rotate it down to remove the connector from the back of the radio, then again sqeeze the lever on the back of the white connector to remove it from the radio block. Locate the other white connector, is was easy to find-hard to remove due to it being wrapped with cloth tape. It has a sticker on it "CD-SDARS", click it into the connector block and then re-install block back into the radio.

How do you get to the radio, Above the radio is your center vent, push down on the top left and right corners of this vent and at the same time pull out. Be careful there is a wire harness and vent cable attached to this assembly. I removed the wire harness and put a towel on the dash to lay the vent on.
You will see 2 philips head screws on each top corner of where the radio is. Remove these screws and it will loosen the bezel that goes around the radio and temp controls. By placing your hands under the temp control panel you will pull up and out. This will remove the temp panel and finally have access to the 2 philips head screws that hold the radio in place.
Remove those 2 screws and the radio will come right out.

Looks like the factory fixed their shark fin problem.
