Good day,

Is it possible to subscribe to XM satellite instead of Sirrus for the BMW installed satellite radio option?

Wasnt sure if it was possible to change providers...

Regards,
L3

No.

If you want XM, you must use an aftermarket solution. Some automakers let you choose between Sirius and XM as the integrated satellite radio; BMW does not.

there is a company called blitzsafe.com that makes the unit that could work. it goes in the trunk and you also probably have to get a bump/antenna on your rear lid for it.
