nice install - two q's though....
i. how much was the kit?
ii. does this just run off of your aux input mode and how do you go to stations etc.? (just read the install link, so nevermind this question!!)

thanks in advance for the answers!

I paid $598 for the www.bavariansoundwerks.com kit which fits 2003+ X5's and includes a 1 year free subscription to Sirius (normally costs approx. $160). It comes with everything you need. If your BMW is from 1996-2002, there's another kit which is less expensive $299.95 but I'm not sure how that one is installed.

You got the scoop on the connection so I won't elaborate. Up front, the driver presses the MODE button on the radio to cycle through Radio, CD, SIRIUS, etc. As with any Sat radio, you select the Category using the radio controls and then select the stations contained within. See screenshots below.

Thanks. Now that I have Sirius, don't know how I ever managed without it. It's also installed on my truck but I don't drive it as much as the X for obvious reasons.
