New user and new owner!

Howdy everyone. I've been lurking in the forums for a week or so as I've been considering buying a new vehicle. Lots of great info here, thanks for that.

I went to the dealership today for my first test drive of an X5 3.0i and walked out with an agreement in place to buy the car! Yikes. Have I made a huge mistake? heh heh. I think the monetary impact is just a little daunting right now and I am worried I made too much of an impulse buy but the car had everything I wanted including navigation which I thought were all gone at this point in 06's. When the salesman agreed to sell it to me at invoice I couldn't turn back! I was actually very impressed with the sales staff there - virtually no hard sell and very courteous. It was the first time I've talked to a car salesman without wanting a shower afterwords.

Well, now I'm just waiting for my financing check to arrive so I can go down and sign the papers. My first objective will be to hook up XM. I have read that the kits discussed on the forum don't work with navigation so I may have to use my little Sony plug-n-play XM unit with the auxiliary port. Has anyone done an install like this, possibly mounting in the ashtray or center console?

Thanks
Dave
