sorry to bombarde everyone

with questions, but ive just thought of 3 more.....

I have the navigation in my 02 4.6 its the bigger screen, what would have to do to get sat radio, could i just go to bestbuy and have them install it (and run it through my monitor)?


secondly, id like to know more about this icelink plus thing that connects the ipod to the radio, is it worth the money, does it make the interior look tacky?

last, does anyone know of a good tint place in the boston area, i just moved here and want to get the best job done.

THANKS for putting up with my newbie questions...

If you want the BMW Sirius radio (which integrates into your nav screen nicely) then you will need to upgrade your radio module (it is located behind the battery in the spare tire compartment in the back) to a 2004 or newer unit.

If you go with an aftermarket Satelite solution then you may want to consider installing an aux input from Blitzsafe, Soundgate, etc. in order to get the audio into the radio.

As for an icelink install, it can be completely stealth - see http://www.xoutpost.com/showthread.php?t=2602

For bulbs, also check out Silvervision

not really anything else, the bulbs are plug-and-play.
