What are my options?

Car is pre wired. Where can i get the tuner? Anyone have the part # so I can search ebay and whatnot for it?

I guess the dealer can code it?

I have NAV.

1. OEM Sirius Satellite tuner or Aftermarket Sirius/XM plugged into the Aux In. I'd go factory, but if you want XM you'll have to go aftermarket.
2. The tuner is no longer available, check ebay. There was supposed to be some updated unit with Sirius & XM sold by BMW but I haven't seen it yet. Check RealOEM.com for the part number of the old unit.
3. Yes
4. Still the same.

Real OEM shows a ton of part#'s. Does anyone know which I need exactly?

Google East Bay BMW they have them, Last Time I called

[1flossedm3]

ill try them thanks

[1flossedm3]

any idea what the dealer charges for coding?

[mosx]

A lot of people have reported it works without coding, but it should be 1 hour of labor. Another hour if you want them to install it.

[1flossedm3]

the DIY doesn't seem too bad tho?

[bimmercub]

My total if I remember right was about 900.00 all included. Unit, installation and coding

[bimmercub]

Important, have your vin number when you call them

[1flossedm3]

damn 900 for sat radio! the unit itself is $595

[bimmercub]

It will be done on Wednesday after the parts arrive. I will post pictures.

No it's really easy if you already have SAT prep. Just plug the box into the wiring harness in the trunk and screw the bracket down to hold it in place. Move your optical wire over 1 slot. Done. Like I said, I'd install it and see if it needs coding, it might not.

Do you have part number of module, and will this module receive "best of xm" channels? I have an 07 335i with old module and want to get best of xm and all the new channels after the merger. There is suppose to be an updated module but I can't find the PN.

thanks

[Brandons330xi]

how hard was it to switch over the wires and do you have pictures i can see ??

[mkPOTO]

not hard i did it, just need someone to code it, and the hardest will be finding a location with that module in stock, if you find one please keep us posted
