dual sirius setup?

djbordie · 02-28-2013, 09:26 AM

I have been reading a bunch of the sirius diy stuff.

I read on m3post some cars have the tuner built in to the HU?

2011 e90 sedan
pro head unit, dealer said my HU has sirius in it. Just needs activation $375 -bullocks, and coding 1-2hour ...again way too much coin.

I have this option:
S693A SATELLITENTUNER VORBEREITUNG Preparation BMW satellite radio
S663A RADIO BMW PROFESSIONAL Radio BMW Professional

Can I activate it myself or anything? and the coding, can it be done K+D-can?

Thank you

I'm pretty sure that MY2010+ can't code anything themselves. You would actually have to go to the dealer to activate the Sirius tuner.

Why would it take that much to activate? I have activated several sirius radios and it has always been about $15...maybe I'm thinking of a different process...

thank you, bmw HQ has the activation codes. So they charge a premium to activate it.
apparently it is a seperat process done after the car is coded to do sirius in the HU menu.
