i have two 3 pin plugs going into the Sirius
tuner. one pin has wires that are white w/ red stripe,
white w/ blue stripe and white w/ brown stripe.

the other plug has solid black, red and white wires.

the fuse is 7.5A

There is a 3-pin connector and a 6-pin connector (only 3 pins used on the 6-pin), I need to know if the brown wire is on the #1 position and not in the middle (#2 position) of the harness.

Also, was the fuse blown?

the fuse was not blown.
i'll have to check on what
position the wire is in.

w/ the plug unplugged and looking
down at the female end, it looks like this -

The brown wire needs to be in the #1 position, if not - you are using the incorrect connector.

that is not the same wire that i have.
that plug is black, red and white.

Here is a picture of the CD Interface connectors from a MY2006 X5, this is located in the access panel in the cargo area on the Driver's Side:

These should be the interface connectors your 977 extension cable is plugged into. Note the Brown wire in the #1 position and not in the middle.

i'll be sure to check that out tomorrow
and let u know. thanks again.

also, did u get my email from today?

here are some pics of the cables in the rear -
