New X5 Owner Questions

[Crispy3M]

Hi folks,

Just found the Xoutpost and think this will be a great place to get and share information about my new purchase.

I just sold my 2005 325i and picked up a beautiful used 2003 X5. The truck was manufactured in 12/02 & No Nav.

I have the same MID problem as everyone else I think and have found a great DIY for the fix. I was an Electronics guy in a former life so I think I'll have a go and see how I make out.

I've spent several hours searching here but have yet to find a definitive answer to a couple of questions I have regarding the radio. I'm hoping someone here has the specific answers.

1. I picked up a Sirius Module for my 325 and installed it. It was fantastic. When I sold the car last week, the gentleman that purchased the car didn't want it so I removed it. Can I instal this same unit in my 03 (12/02) X5?

2. I also completed the DIY Aux Input for my 325. It was simple and worked like a charm. Can the same thing be done for the X5 and if so, does anyone have a link to the schematics?

3. For the 325, the Bluetooth module was fairly inexpensive but from my reading over the past few days, it looks like getting Factory Bluetooth to work in the X5 is super expensive. Any thoughts on this and alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, this seems like a fantastic forum for X5 owners and I look forward to reading more!

Cheers!
