Why is the option so expensive($595?), when you order the car, yet when I called my dealerships parts department to find out how much it would be to get it now since I didn't order it with the car, he tells me $350? What gives?
Why would anyone order it on the car when you can get it cheaper after you take delivery?

So ? after all the discussion on Xenon, SMG, NAV, Logic-7, HUD making these ?must have? items.? Allow me to put in my 2 cents on the SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
After spending countless hours on the i-drive and the voice command manual (thnx to Hormazd to point me to the direction of the PDF file) I finally had the opportunity to play around w/ my recently activated Siri Radio.
So I am an 80?s boy, and love the alternative type of music played on KROQ in L A. Siri has a channel on each of these type of music on all the type w/ no commercial. The sound quality is E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T, used in conjuction w/ the Logic-7 system. I?ve also tuned into the classic channel.? Driving at high speed on the ?California Auto-bahn? w/ Mozart on? siri?? Good God!! Its an out of body experience.
I am not a big fan of paying bull$hit utility bill such as cable TV where they nickel dime you to death!!. And people will tell you that I am a miser to the max. But after having to opportunity to play the SIRI in our new E60, its now a must have item. I am looking for ways to retrofit SIRI into all my cars. Thumbs UP!! WAY UP!! On this toy.? JUST BUY IT!! You?ll love it!!!
Cheers,

When I ordered the car, the salesperson told me I couldn't get Sirius installed because I DIDN'T have NAV...What's with all the conflicting stories?

It's amazing how uneducated the sales reps are. Siruis can and does work with NAV. Works great on my car and I agree it's a must have as the sound quality and selection is outstanding. The price of $595 or so, includes 1 year subscription which is worth about $140 +/- . Yes it's expensive. I put XM after market on my last car and it cost about $175 to install (not including subscription). But, it wasn't integrated and stuck out on the dash. If you can buy it, it's worth it. I laughed my arse off listening to Raw Dog.

[/quote]While you can get Sirius w/o the NAV, do you know if you can get both an Aux In and Sirius? I just had Sirius installed and asked about the Aux in and was told that they could not do both.

Did you try saying "Entertainment" then saying "options"?
If there's a command for Sirius, it's likely that the car will tell you what to say...
