Does the Sirius hook up to the I drive or is it a special unit? Does any one have a picture of the sirius set up?

Its just another source in the "Entertainment" sub menu, I have "FM, AM, CD, SAT" as choices... fully integrated, with presets, catagories, and full channel listings. I'll take some pics later today and post them.

It is integrated w/ the iDrive, but the new unit that is installed goes in the trunk I believe, where it is connected to the antenna built into the shark fin (part of Sat prep).

When a channel is selected, you see this screen. Very informative!

Hey skiscubasaildude,
What happened to your Weather Band radio choice on your radio options? Mine has that where the Sat option is listed!!!

Does that mean that when you get Sat radio, you loose the WB channels?

I was wondering the same thing. I never use the WB so that would be fine with me.
