OK here is waht I have:
2001 X5 4.4 with the NON-DSP stereo, no NAV and no CD changer.
Here is my question:
I bought a BLITZSAFE (BMW/XM SLD 01) Direct interface that is used with the XMD 1000. This setup is supposed to link with the BMW factory stereo and give you all the XM SAT station readouts on the stereo and cluster. All was going well and everything plugged up like it was supposed to, but NO JOY when I went to turn the stereo on and hit the mode button.
I called BLITZSAFE and they proceeded to tell me that they sent the wrong unit for my car. The reason being is that the 09-02 -06 models of stereos are satellite ready and mine being an 01 is not. The BLITZSAFE rep, who seemed to be very knowledgable, said I could put a later model stereo in place of the one I have. I just need to be sure that it is a NON-DSP model and that it is satellite ready.
So the questions are:
Does anyone have a stereo they could sell
Does anyone have a part number I could reference and maybe buy one off eBay
Or just send the unit back and forget the entire deal. I really want the XM as I already have service paid for a year out. TIA and sorry for the long post.
