that means that for Sat radio you need only get activation code to Radio
you may remove Radio to check if you have sirius wire coming to it

What WOULD the wires in the trunk look like and where would they be in a 2013 E92 335is w/Professional Radio (non=iDrive) and HiFi system? And how would I find out which SiriusXM unit I need? I also have the S693A option.

No pre wiring in car after 09.(maybe its and exception for sat)
It would most likely be more cost effective to get
a Radio with integrated Sat Radio.

Check to see there is no Sirius symbol on top of your radio indicating
a built in Sirius tuner.

You do not need to go to the dealer for coding or activation read the threads.

I've been having some wiring done to my car and it got me thinking about SiriusXM again, so I decided to go out and pull the radio to check it out. And...

I do have the pink connector on the back and the top label does show SiriusXM. So now comes the questions...

I have the BimmerGeeks Pro Tool on a Tablet. Can I use that to activate my SiriusXM, or do I HAVE to go to the Stealership to have it activated? Which leads to my second question: I've been reading that I need an FSC Code to activate the radio. Can I get it from somewhere else (like Dracon) or ONLY at the Stealership?

I've provided pics for reference in case anyone is interested in what the pink connector and label look like.
