Satilite Radio

[wblong]

has anyone put a satilite radio in a '06 525, i hear it is possible to use the factory wiring and control through the I Drive as if it were from the factory and not have to mount the after market radio in the car. Bill.

It depends on the car. I was able to have Sirius installed in my 2003 530i through the factory system, but could not with my 2004 540i because it is equipped with BMW assist. I had an ipod port installed in the 540i which I use to connect a portable satellite radio.

BBaron, could you expand on how you connected a portable satellite radio through the ipod port? What brand of radio and what jack do you use to connect from the car to the radio? any other details appreciated.
