Any way to generate Sirius FSC for Professional (non-nav) HU?
I recently acquired a project e90 which had a professional headunit with a faulty screen. I replaced it with a 2011 build HU with built-in Sirius, Bluetooth, and USB functionality, but no MOST connectivity.
Sirius is not a selectable option in the source menu. After reading multiple threads, my understanding is that Sirius activation requires FSC activation in the 2010+ HU iterations. There are countless methods for FSC generation for CIC, but a relative paucity of information on whether this is possible on RAD2 professional HU. Sirius is hardly worth the discounted subscription fee I'll be paying, but I can't justify buying an FSC. Is there a way to generate/activate FSC for the Professional HU? TIA |

Better go to the coding subforum .
I think it's a different option number if its built in. If it's after 09 no antenna built into the car I believe. You need to be able to open the radio file with ncsexpert to see what's going on. Last edited by ctuna; 08-04-2021 at 09:40 PM.. |

The HU is 2011 but my car is '06 and is pre-wired for SDARS in the trunk. I routed the pink fakra connector to the HU using a fakra extension cable but with no success. |

You have to turn on the option via software in the HU before anything
will happen. Most people that install the module have to do that to and some of them get away with just calling sirius and getting some kind of code from them. parameter SDARS must be turned to aktiv from nicht aktiv in the radio file. Last edited by ctuna; 08-04-2021 at 11:05 PM.. |

SDARS_INBOX aktiv SDARS_DTC inbox SDARS_PHONE_NUMBER_1 wert_0 I managed to force the radio to utilize the SDARS tuner using a diagnostic mode in INPA and confirmed the hardware is working correctly. I could see the preview channel on the display and hear it though my speakers, but the only way to get there was using INPA. Unfortunately there is no way I've found yet to add satellite to audio source menu. Furthermore, this is listed on RealOEM which effectively confirms my suspicion that FSC has to be used. I'll reach out to coding forum to see if there is a homebrew solution like there is with CIC. |

Most people who where installing the Sat Box reported that once they enabled
Sat in the I drive or Pro Radio they just called sirius and got or tranferred there subscription. |
