Do You Have The Sirius Radio Option?

Is the radio configured at the factory or the dealership? Did you pay the $500 with the free 1 year subscription? And how do you like it?

Thanks.

I have the factory installed Sirius option with the lifetime subscription. I absolutely love it. I also have NAV, bluetooth, iPod, etc., so everything is integrated seamlessly into the NAV screen. Cost for Sirius was $1,000 for me from factory with lifetime sub.

Thanks. So is the only way to get it by going thru the factory, or can you do it at the dealership?

I'm not sure, so check with your MA.

I believe you can get Sirius installed at the dealership for a lesser price, but since I wanted NAV also, I opted for factory installation. It's nice to have it all tied together on one big display screen. It was spendy, but I've wanted this car for so long, I just had to go for it. Plus, the lifetime subscription is nice. (Big Howard Stern fan.)

Good luck!

I got it as part of the audio package on my 07. I like it. It's not the best audio quality compared to the other sources in the car but it was worth it for my use. Lifetime subscription as well.

how about a Sirius Stiletto for $99 that you can just plug into your AUX port and take with you as it also records the SAT content...

With the lifetime subscription you also get free online sirius, now if you have an ipod touch and you jail break it you can listen to sirius on it with the wifi, preatty sweet when your not in your car and you have a wifi available!

Oh and by the way, the MINI Sirius option is great! Lifetime is even better if your thinking of staying with the car at least 6 years.
