My satellite radio only requires subscription to satellite radio to work. Came with 1 year for free. This must be for cars that don't come with satellite option but you add it after the fact as most of the hardware is there hence "satellite prep"

SiriusXM
Hey
Just bought a 2019 BMW X3 . It has no sat option in the radio menu. I called BMW here in Canada and they said all it needs is a code which they want $375 for and 2 hour of labour at $160 an hour. What's the bets option other than going to my local BMW dealer? I already have a subscription to Siriusxm that I pay yearly for Thanks |

E92 Sirius Activation
Not sure if this is method is valid on an E92, but I’m relatively well versed in the coding business, having added XM to my old 07 E90, amongst other things. Can you let me know if I am able to just buy just the FSC code and do the coding on my own? My car has the XM prep package spec’d out to it, the only hold out is that the SDARS module does not communicated to ISTA, but I believe that is by design. Thanks in advance!

Hi Shawn
I have a 2017 X3 F25. I see that it has the satellite radio kit installed, but the radio option doesn’t show up in the menu. Could you please help with this activation? Thanks |

Hey everyone, so not to drag on to long or anything but I just wanted to mention I have used this forum for some information in the past and have found it to be very useful. I only just now registered and became a member of the forum. This is my first post!
So anyway, I have read through all of the posts on this thread and also have done a bunch of other research by searching through YouTube and Google. I have been trying to understand whether my car has what it needs to be able to activate and use Sirius satellite radio. I haven't been able to get any definitive info as of yet so I am hoping one of you will be able to answer my question. I have received mail from Sirius saying that my free trial will be ending soon, which leads me to believe I have what I need but when I look through the options on iDrive, I am unable to see Sirius satellite radio anywhere. When decoding my VIN, I see I have the S655A - satellite tuner option, but I do not have the S693A - preparation option. Does that mean the car does not have what it needs to activate Sirius satellite radio? |

Thank you for getting back to me, I do appreciate it.
I answered my own question just before I saw your response. I am still a relatively new BMW owner and am still getting familiar with all the features. I find the iDrive system to be a little convoluted sometimes. I have the older 6.5" screen with what I believe is the NBT system. In this particular instance, I would select "Radio" from the main menu screen and it would bring me right to the list of all the radio stations in my area. I eventually realized it was skipping right over another menu screen of which is the menu where you would select FM, AM, Satellite Radio, and so on. So needless to say, I have figured it out. |
