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

my NAV software is a modified v26.
as for radio software, in the hidden menus, it says
SW Level 49. keep in mind, i just purchased this
radio module from a dealer. the part # is 65.12-6 976 961.:dunno:

about the CDC audio, i'll try moving the wire to the different
location and get back to you. unfortunately, i am in MD.

Not one to stir up old wounds, but did you ever get your Sirius to work?

i sure didn't. i think we came to the conclusion
that the part i purchased was not compatible w/
NAV. i put it up for sale here; in hopes to sell it
to someone w/o NAV and then purchase the correct
part, but no one was interested.

I have MK IV NAV and the very same radio module part number you started out with 65.12-6 964 398 with the sticker to the side with part number 65.12 6 964 399.

I will be also attempting to install the Sirius Receiver

what's the part # on the Sirius receiver that u have?

ordering receiver today.....for an 05' X5 with NAV (my X is an 03')

just be sure that u order part # 65 12 0 398 140
depending on who u talk to, the part # might also
be 84-11-0-150-535

In my 03' X5 (build date 1/03) I have a MK IV Nav. V27, and I ordered # 65 12 0 398 140 Sirius Receiver to hopefully work with my radio module #65.12-6 964 399 (Radio was replaced last AUG05)

Hopefully all of this will work.

from everything i was told, that should work.
