ARE YOU SERIOUS?? about SIRIUS?

[peso604]

I just caught wind that i could not install sirius radio on my stock Nav cuz of it being made just at the time in 03 that they were doing the radio changes, so i took the alternative of putting in the FM modulator which sounds FINE!! no complaints .I mounted the( MAGNETIC ) antenna in the back where the changer is and just ran the wire under door sills and throught out the body of the truck and this was just a basic install now i just have to find a spot to install the reciver properly so its not an eye sore like a Radar detector
Any ideas for a spot? and any questions let me know! i can take pics if needed but im sure that someone can figure out how i did it just by me typing this!

who said that u couldn't put Sirius in ur '03 X5?
either way, they misinformed u. what u need to
do is purchase a post '03 radio module.

It depends on what your receiver looks like. Drex mounted his control unit in the ashtray for a nice clean stealth look. As noted above, if you swap your radio module for a 2004 or newer then you can get the BMW Sirius.

where exactly did he mount the antenna? im starting to get static when someone is speaking im not sure if it is because of the FM modulator or just where the antenna is
