Thumbs up

Has anyone done this? (I did it myself on my 04 M3 by getting the receiver and a special harness which plugged into the radio amp located in the driver's side trunk well.) Would it be the same? Sirius is not that great by comparison to XM IMO. I'm wondering if the available plug for the harness which was available in my M3 may not be available in the 550i because of the navigation/bluetooth.
Does anyone know? Thanks.

Your car needs to have the Sat Prep option and once you are done with the install you will need to have the car coded (PROGMAN, activate XM done)
