Installed Sirius on 04 X5 Nav/DSP/CD Changer
The antenna was a different story since I wanted to mount it inside the spoiler so it's not visible. This instructions article form IFlyX5 was extremely helpful. http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/s...avigation.html Only difference is that I installed the antenna on the left side of the spoiler and I did not use a metal plate as others recommended. Its location (see pic below) is ideal since the antenna is facing straight up as opposed to being at an angle. The antenna included with the kit has a very low profile and the radio's reception is excellent. Everything works very well with the steering controls and the sound quality is great!

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.

Nice install. I installed the unit under the spare, and now that I think about it, I never should have done that. Your idea is much better. As for the antenna in the spoiler, I had a very bad experience with it and switched to a roof mount antenna. I still get dropouts on the roof, but thath has to do with the area I live in--too many rocks, walls, trees, and hills.
