Can anyone provide feedback on this working? I'm having a tough time, I think its because I don't have the OEM FSC Code installed

Currently working with Gerry at Warpeddriveservices@gmail.com. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. This is way out of my league, so I'm not sure how this all works. Thanks!

I bought the module from ebay (for my 2010 mini cooper) but haven't plugged it in yet. The cables are there in the trunk and the antenna is in place. Reading this thread tells me it won't be plug and play (unlike my 2006 audi) and I'll need to do coding. I just joined the site so I'm not asking for a PM (yet!) - just wondering if anyone else tried this with a mini?

Mini is same as BMW. What is your short VIN (last 7)?

I have an upgraded (from CIC) NBT head unit and activated satellite radio. The SAT was working for 3-months after using the XM dealership-app hack, but then they blocked it. What is the cheapest option for satellite activation?

Interested in sat radio as well. Confirmed 693 via VIN. Can this also activate Navi radio if I purchase components from flea bay?

Good day, I would like to enable the Sirus/XM SAT on my 2013 - 335i Xdrive Sedan, it has the S693A option confirmed on the decoder site based on my VIN for my car. I would very much like to hear the details with respect to what i have to purchase and move forward from there. Based on my reading of this excellent forum Shawn handles this? Still do? - thank you Charles2010

charles2010 · 08-04-2023, 02:52 PM

Good day, I purchased my 2013 - 335i Xdrive second hand, and such it came with an upgraded (3rd party) larger idrive screen -- very nice i might add. However i wanted to inquire if this would affect in anyway my ability to enable Sirus/XM SAT on my equiped S693A car --as noted by my VIN decode. When I purchased the car - the original owner provided me the original Idrive screen but the new one is much better - adding backup camera though i do not have navigation -- would this be also a possible concern?
