This company claims they have made a plug and play kit for xm radio...Pretty pricey, but even bmw charges nearly $500 for the unit...This will work with your car even though your car is not pre wired for sat...What do you guys think?

They say you can't do it...It has to be ordered with the car...I know some guys have done it on there cars here, but it requires you to splice into the fiber optics in the trunk...The diy looked pretty hard...

Mine wasn't prewired either but the dealer said they could do it very easily for the low price of $1100 plus $400 labour CDN.
