Sirius install on 2011?

outsider · 04-28-2011, 09:14 PM

Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about a Sirius install in 2011's requiring a new radio.

I had purchased my 2011 135i w/ Premium & M-Package but unfortunately no Sirius which the dealer agreed to add for me once the car was delivered to me. They told me they missed a part they needed and that they would call me once it came in. This is over a month ago.

When I went to the dealer, they are telling me that it isn't just the Sirius tuner anymore, but rather a new radio too? It isn't costing me anything extra but it's the first I've heard of thing. The DIY's I've seen on here just involve plugging the tuner in.

my dealer told me if you didnt order the car with sat radio you couldn't add it (i'm talking factory sat radio).

I had SAT service added by the dealer. Here is the info from the work order.
Down load codes and program radio for SAT.
F/P number 65-12-2-167-263 Activation codes for existing radio.
3 hrs labor
The car was built in 12/2010.

According to my build sheet, my 2011 has Satelite Radio Preparation. My assumption is that it should be retrofit-able.

Let me try to find out what part they say is on backorder

Just so you know, our 2010 128 Conv needed a new audio amplifier. We waited 21 days for the dealer to get one in due to Back order situation. (Had 2 different brand new nice loaners the whole time) I'm guessing that it, and probably some other BMW Branded electronic parts are sourced from Japan, which due to the earthquake/Tsunami is unable to deliver, hence the delay.
