My Ride: 530i
Model Year: 2004
Hello all,
I recently purchased a sirius tuner for my non sat-prep 2004 530i. I also bought all the fiber optic parts, etc to locate the tuner in the trunk. Instead of replacing the shark fin antenna I've decided to place an aftermarket antenna under the rear window shelf. Does anyone know where I can find a terk splitter (SIR-SP)? I'm not having much luck. Otherwise I will have to bite the bullet and purchase the bmw sirius shark fin antenna and pay the dealer to install it. (scared I will damage the roof removing it myself)
Thanks

You can use an XM one. It's just wire. You may have to remove the plastic colored FAKRA housing to eliminate the plastic key obstruction. Also connecting to one of the inputs will work. No need for the splitter.
