Sirius radio - easy way?
I think I have read everything there is on getting either/and sirius radio or bluetooth audio into my 2005 R52 s with the H/k system and a C/D changer wiring harness. The problem is...I don't understand a damn thing. It seems that everyone talks in initials and I don't know what the initials mean. And the product links are out-dated.
Please, can anyone tell me if can be done, how hard is it to do with plug & play components? Is it worthwhile doing? Or, should I just settle for a C/D changer


as always, TIA for any help.

I have a go groove from amazon, its a Bluetooth radio transmitter. plugs into the 12v under the radio. it can find the weakest station around, then you can stream music either thru an AUX cable or Bluetooth to the unit, and then it plays on the radio.
and they are cheap too =D

Just to ask all of you, has anyone ever found a decent place to mount the head unit? I made a cup holder device for my last unit, which worked okay. The new unit is too rectangular, and I don't like how it fits down there. I've really been holding off on drilling into the side of the center post...as this with the side cup holder are just too intrusive on the passenger side.
I had a window suction cup - but it wore out, and I didn't like leaving it there with the top down in the parking lot.
To the OP - bluetooth is the way to go, but there will be some quality loss of sound (compared to playing MP3's). Amazon did at one point have a kit that you could put in an AUX cable...think it ran about $25. You'd need to be a little tech savvy to put it in.
