Couple of quick questions if anyone can help:
Firstly, I have satellite radio prep on my 550, if I were to have the dealer fit and activate Sirius what should I expect to pay? We already have Sirius on my wife's car so I can get a discount on a second subscription but would a new install come with the free year of service anyway?
Second question relates to the iPod interface. I have L7 and I have the CD changer prep. I do not have the changer installed. I have Progman V23, apart from the install of the interface itself itself, should this mean I just need to activate the CD changer input in iDrive (i.e. a pretty quick process)? I had a quote of near $700 from my dealer and that included about 3.5 hrs of labor, with the V23 s/w and CD changer prep shouldn't this be a lot less?
Any input gratefully received!

As for the iPod interface, that's way too much labor. The unit itself plus, at most, one hour of labor is reasonable. I think CIP 23.01 seems to work, at least that's what I have and it worked just fine. CIP 23.02 has issues with the iPod interface. I don't know if that's been corrected yet.

I can't say for sure but I think you'll still get the one year free service with Sirius. After that you'll need to pay for the additional unit (not full price).
