Definitely disconnect the battery, I've seen some stubborn systems before.

Try disconnecting the battery cables and touching the cables together for +5 seconds (off the battery), this will clear the system and allow redetection.

We've ran through 7 pages of troubleshooting for this kit - I think the best thing would be to have your local dealer install the Sirius kit at this time. I've tried every possible solution I can think of, but without actually seeing the X5 beforehand - I'm not sure what more can be said.

Hopefully, this can be installed and you can report back to the thread what the issue was.

out of curiosity, if i decide to bypass the Sirius
altogether, should i see some sort of AUX anywhere
on the monitor?:dunno:

AUX uses an entirely different port, and needs the BMW AUX kit in order to enable it.

2 things to not have Sirius show on the display.

1) OLD nav software. Upgrade to latest one
2) OLD software in Radio. Upgrade to latest one (by getting a new radio). If newest one, make sure in US mode. use the radio service mode to check.

NO CDC Audio.... that is a different story. If no audio on the CDC. Remove the 12 pin harness from the Sirius TO CDCD and MOVE the white brown wire from location 2 to location 3! Old CDC has a different audio ground pin location.

If you are near Austin, Tx feel free to swing by and I can take a look. I have gotten Sirius to work in a 1999 E38, I know I can get it to work in the 2003 X5
