Satellite retrofit MOST question.
1 Attachment(s)
I'm installing satellite radio in my 07 530i which came prewired for it. I took the most connector apart and moved all of the fiber optic cables to their correct new spots, but I do not like the bend I have in the cable coming from the satellite module. It got moved from 5 on the upper connector to 1 on the lower which has the curve in it pretty tight. Can anyone else who has done this let me know if this is how yours looked when finished?

It's a little tight, but I think you'll be OK. I have done this to my '04. Don't forget, you'll need to code CAS and CAPPL/MASK to get it working properly. I had to sit in my car in an open parking lot for about 20 minutes before I was able to capture a signal and get SIRIUS working.

Thanks. I'm just installing and coding it for now. I'm probably not driving it much until the VW is bought back so I don't want to pay for 2 subscriptions.

It's all I listen to as well. Had no idea they gave a discount on a second car. Thanks for the info.

I have an early build car with early CCC.
If I remember correctly, I did not see any prompts such as "searching for signal", etc. The screen was set to SAT and was basically blank. I went out the next day, put the car in an open parking lot, and after about 20 minutes of sitting there SIRIUS sprang to life. I had my laptop with me and it has a dialup air card, so I set up the account while I was in the parking lot. I also got my module from a junkyard car. good luck. |
Thanks.
