Just spoken to my dealer in the UK. Its available - its works like the E46 integration kit and is about £190 inc of VAT. He's given me the part number but there are differences in the kit depending of steering wheel and if you have NAV etc...

I don't see compatibility with professional radio with sat radio factory install though...

I suspect that the reason the sat radio is not mentioned in the list is simply due to it being a list from BMW UK, and the sat radio is not ( to my knowledge ) an option in the UK ... so you still may be OK

bakdraft: Ahh I see...really looking forward to this, hope to hear some news statesside soon. There was a DIY recently by someone in Germany? Well the factory instructions mentioned incompatibility with cars pre-wired for phones i.e. all US e90s and e91s...I would think with this news, they have worked around it?

Is there a more readable version of the Matrix?

Here's the original PDF I hope this helps, if not I'll find another way

The matrix does not seem entirely accurate. In particular WMA files do NOT work in the dashboard CD slot for vehicles with professional nav.

I think that I found the same with the DVD slot, but I only tried that briefly when I first received the car. It's worth noting that my car was built in Jan 2006, as compatibility may change with time and S/W version.

MP3/WMA both work in the CD changer

I had already been expecting this level of functionality after reading this forum whilst waiting for the car (thanks guys).
