Need help locating Sirius antenna connection

Mackskibum · 06-30-2006, 08:34 AM

Hi gang- was looking at installing my Roady this morning, and I can't find the antenna connection. The photos I have seen show a two connector harness just laying underneath the trunk floor. I don't see it, but I have sat prep in the car. Here's a photo:

Thanks Stronie- you are correct- it is in the shark fin. Supposedly, the antenna connection is located in the are in my photo, but I can't find it. I am wondering if it has been moved to another location or re-designed.

I don't see the cable as referenced/shown here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ighlight=radio

It should be pink color coded for easy recognition...

If you car's build date is March 06 and later, BMW switched over to a redesigned Sirius module. Could this be the reason? Are you sure you have sat prep?

I found it- it is now buried under the CD changer cover on the floor of the truck. There is the optical interface, and the pink antenna lead there. I was able to make it work.

Thanks for the help!!
