Does anyone have installation instructions on how to install the XM/Sirius module? I have a 530i and would like to install this. The dealer wants $650 and I was wondering how hard this is to do.

Thanks

its not a big deal to install the module in the trunk you can search these forums and find diy . the tricky part is the most fiber connection to put the sirius module in the fiber loop. i have a step by step on how to do this i just have to scan it and i will post it here.

After the module is installed and the fiber loop connected you still need the dealer or an indy shop with the programmer to enable it in idrive.
