How does the XM commander interface with the X5? The IceLink uses the CD changer interface.

I read that it uses a device called blitzsafe to interface with the radio.

Don't get the XM Commander. Get XM Direct here. I have this unit, and it works great. I don't have an Icelink/iPod setup, but it should work. Note this from MyRadioStore.com (the link above):

The XM-RVR-D-101 comes with a pass-thru connector that will allow you to keep your existing factory CD Changer, plug in an auxiliary input adapter, and will even work if no other devices are hooked up.
I am sure Tom or elduderino can shed more light on this, if I am wrong.

Correct - make sure you choose the 101 module, this will give you the bypass when the XM is shut down. Other modules do not have these ports.

After your help, I went and bought the icelink plus. It played but when I press CD 6, I don't get a menu as noted in the manual. It showed CD and track numbers. No text display at all. Please help

You probably activated text to a incorrect field by accident. Email me directly and I can send a configuration file that will get you set right up.
