Not a big deal, but just thought some folks might want to see an XM Roady2 installation. I have the integrated Sirius, but also wanted to add XM.
The antenna is on the dashboard (I have used this configuration in other vehicles, and found it to work very well), and the audio is via Auxiliary Audio Input. All cabling is concealed within the glovebox.
If you have any questions, let me know.

Wow--you have both satellite radio services? So you're paying ~$30/month for radio? Ouch!

Right now, WorldSpace is the major satellite radio operator for Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Dave,
How do you connect to the AUX wiring? I hooked up an XM receiver via the CD cable in my 2002 M3 but I don't see that option in my 04 545i. Thanks for your help. ......Tim
