Adding sirius

flyinrazrback · 05-05-2008, 11:29 PM

My 2007 335 came prewired for sirius radio, what do I need to buy to get it to work with the factory radio (no idrive). The dealer told me it had sirius radio when I bought it and when I tried to set it up it is not installed. They are not wanting to make it right and install it, so on my own for now to do something to get it working. Thanks

Easy...

Go to your dealer and get them to order and install the sirius unit and program it.

Sounds like you need another dealer. Probably the last owner had it and transferred it to a new vehicle or sold it. The dealer knows it had the unit from the original manifest

At most you will need the sirius unit some optical connection reconnecting and MAYBE reprogramming. Its somehting like 600 bucks for all of that. I wired an aftermarket unit into my ashtray and hooked to the antenna to the factory sharkfin. Pretty easy and cost me about $50 bucks do a search on aftermarket sirius or search my posts for the how to
