XM in X5?

[edco]

Greetings !
Today my wife and I adopted a 2006 CPO X5 from Prestige Motors in Ramsey, NJ. Overall exellent experience - couple of awkward moments, but all and all, we left pleased.

We have been quite satisfied with XM stations we were enjoying in my Lexus that we traded in, even though the set up was a bit unpolished at least to my likings. We had the radio unit in the console, got power from the rear console unit cigarette lighter, and merely fished the antenna to the roof, and because the modulation sound was so bad, I eventually fit it with a cassette adapter,

Can anyone provide alternatives... I'd consider swithing to Sirius if that resolves the problem..Would also like to an outlet available for ipod

Goodness smiles on those who help others (like me)
