Can it be done? I talked to my local car stereo dealer and they said the part to convert it into the IDrive is not yet avaiable...Is this correct? Do you guys know of a way to get it installed??

Do you happen to know the build month/year of your car? Are you aware that BMW has an integrated Sirius solution for cars built on or after March 2004 if the car was pre-wired?

If your car is a Dec 2003 build, then I doubt the dealer is installing the factory (integrated) system. If they are, then it's a good deal since they'd have to replace the TCU which costs more than $950...
