That's what it looks like. Ok, I will wait for the part and post my findings here. If it differs substantially from the airbag-first removal, I will post a new DIY.

Maybe a search next time. Sorry, guys. I thought I searched on this, but I was looking in the wrong forum.

OEM Sirius antenna questions

Hi all.

I have a 2005 X5 4.4 with the OEM Sirius radio installed. Because it's fairly lame (display, presets, saved songs etc), I have installed a Sportster 5 through the AUX port.

I have a few...

I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but as a relatively new X5 owner, I haven't had the same success with quick stopping. I am coming from a 2001 325 where the brakes were just fantastic....

Hi Stan,

I use Sheetz 93 or Exxon, as both of these stations are nearby. I've started to read about gas quality and see that neither of these are listed on the "good gas" sites. What would you...

Call me crazy, but aren't those 168s and NOT 128s?

Yes, when I turn the fan off, the sound is still present. The noise of the fan system is another deal entirely. It also seems loud, but I'm more concerned about the engine than the hvac.

Thanks...

Thanks for the info. Please let me know what you find out. It is fairly annoying and I'm hoping there is a simple fix, but the software update/transmission reset done at the dealer did nothing.

I could be wrong, but once it's dead, I think it needs to be reprogrammed. Charging the key periodically keeps it from dying, so you might be past the point of no return...

Good luck,

My wife had the same issue on her 2005 X3. She ended up getting the entire seat (bottom part) replaced under warranty. I'm guessing the '01 isn't covered, but BMW didn't fix hers, they replaced it.
