F55/F56 Anyone add Sirius Radio after they recieved their car?

I'll fill you in after and let you know how it went. I don't mind sharing the cost at all, $495 plus tax. Oh and it's a 2015 base Cooper hardtop. It's a little steep, and to be honest I thought about just buying of the radios you add in, but I didn't really want the cluttered look that would be (at least in my mind).
I am willing to try the: http://www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-...radio-retrofit if someone can tell me that it actually worked.

I don't have time to do it, or even try to figure out how to do it myself. I'd rather just drop it off and let someone that knows what they're doing handle it. I'm not familiar with BimmerTech, and not sure if they are a good place to deal with. I have no problem paying a little extra (to a point) to get it done, make sure its right, and have a hassle free experience.

You're welcome, and good luck getting it done! I like the clean look, honestly though, if it was older I don't know that I would spend that much on it. Honestly I can't wait to get it. I just got it two months ago. The car I was driving before didn't have a radio, so I forgot how awful regular radio is!

I looked at a few radios and it seemed like it would be a hassle. The buttons and screen seemed so small, I couldn't imagine trying to reach over and change stations, etc.

I highly recommend taking it to the dealer and having it done correctly. What your paying for is the activation code from mini which is vin specific, 1 year subscription of service and 1 hour of labor which is the standard charge anytime a vehicle is hooked up to the programmer regardless if it takes 20min or 5 hours to complete. Had mine done on Tuesday and I couldn't be happier.

I guess if you don't have time....but other places Will do the exact same thing for under half the price. Honestly you are just getting some coding done. I find the $500 price ridiculous. We already know the code costs $100. So the rest is 20 minutes labour and markup. It is principle not money or time. Mini just charge you to turn the switch.

What do you listen to on satellite? Where do you live? How old are you?
I listen to lots of podcasts, I even listen to a podcast for the news. If I'm tired of those I pull up loud Rock or classic Jazz albums, [Apple Lossless]. If there's a hockey or football game on, it's on AM.
I'm in the middle of nowhere, Canada, I'm in my mid-40s.

I have no problems doing my own install; However, I would feel a lot better if someone can tell me that it actually worked.

I'm certain you'll love it; it's been years since I listened to commercial radio stations and I don't miss them.

Just had my car done. The guy buys the code from BMW for $120. Took him 5 minutes and he backed up the entry so it will not get erased on any upgrade.
The whole thing cost $180 and he did some free coding too.
Sirius came straight on and has all the channels and displays the album art. Very cool. I did not have to phone to activate so I'm a happy "Free" camper!
