If you have the SDARS module, you will need to remove it from the car as the CIC ( US version ) has the SDARS tuner built in. You will also need to do the following:
1. Terminate old SDARS unit MOST connection
2. Route SDARS aerial directly into the back of the CIC

My version of CIC is using SDARS module in the back in my e90
I have 2012 CIC and it has built-in SDAR so anees is probably correct, I will have to remove old unit from the truck. I will address that when I do the Combox retrofit. Now I only have TCU. I will have to bring the question about the USB. Do I need the USB hub? Also, any info on the instalation?
You actually do not need to remove the SDARS module. Code CIC to use external module. Thats if you want to keep satellite radio anyway. Otherwise you'll need new antenna wiring from CIC.

The USB hub is not needed unless you are super OCD about it.
