I just did the XM radio retrofit with Bimmertech and my system works great. The cost for the retrofit is ~$287.28 I received my programming cable in less than a week all the way from Poland to California.

Once you receive the cable you will get all the instructions to get started. You get a hold of the programmer through Skype and they give you all the links to download all the software required to connect your PC to the vehicle. Once you download everything the guys from Bimmertech program the car through your computer using TeamViewer and it only takes <30 minutes to get the XM radio installed in your iDrive.

After they are down with all the programming you contact Sirius XM and they will send the test signal to activate the free 1-year trial and you will be all set.

The process takes less <1 hour. I am very satisfied with Bimmertech and I will definitely recommend them to anybody in this forum. You can save almost $400 by doing it with them instead of the BMW dealership.

BimmerTech you guys

I have S693A, is this all i need to get sat going?

I will be ordering my M235i either after work today or during my break tomorrow and I'm on the fence about the Premium Package. The ONLY reason I'm contemplating getting it is for the Sat Radio. So my question is, do all M235i's come with the required hardware for this retrofit? Or is there something I need to add in order for this to work for me? I would love to save ~$1800 if possible.

All BMWs come with Sirius prep as a standard option in North America!

BimmerTech you guys

Agree with above.

However, I just got a delayed letter in the mail; a "Customs Duty Invoice" from DHL. Claims item value was $314 and I have to pay them $20.

What's up with that? Anyone else get this? I'm sure it's legit but it almost seems like a scam.....

It's the US customs charging you a fee for importing the goods. DHL is just collecting the money for them. Not sure why some people get it and others don't. Luckily the duty fee in the US seems to be around 4% only + a few bucks for the paperwork or something.
