Sirius radio prep not included in 2013's?

BMW advisor today said that Sirius Satellite radio not included in 2013 models?? Even though "prep" is included, that BMW still has to set it up??

I thought you could just call Sirius directly to set it up??

Anybody have any experience with this?

BMW has to set it up to work. Then you subscribe by calling Sirius.

The prep is the sat radio hardware.
The dealer needs to enter codes to enable it (which I believe includes 1 year of service). They'll add markup, etc.

Ask them what the price is.

My E90 was "preped" for Sat radio, but it didn't include the control module, just all the wiring. I looked into it, it was going to be $600+ for the unit, and then I was going to have to pay the dealer to program the car to activate it.
