I just bought a 2006 Mini Cooper S with base CD player. It has the trunk cable ready to go.
I'd like to install Sirius tuner myself, so it integrates with the existing head unit and steering wheel controls.
From what I've gathered on various forums, I'll need these parts:

Sirius Radio $220
84 11 0 150 535

Sirius install kit $35
84 11 0 150 534

MINI Sirius Antenna Kit $70
84 11 0 393 780

I called my local MINI dealer and he said the reciever part number is no longer made but
the updated part is 65 12 0 439 436 and it's $550

Anyone know if I can just buy the old $220 one online? I've been searching everywhere!
Any forum link to purchase from a website I've seen is old and no longer exists.

Or is there a generic Sirius reciever that integrates with the OEM head unit?


Thank you VERY much for any help you can provide.

 

So I called a few more dealerships and got different sirius reciever part numbers from all three

65 12 0 439 436 -Sterling MINI $550

65 12 0 398 141 -Fairfax BMW $275 I'm pretty sure this is the replacement I need but they won't sell it to me because "It's a MINI part, and we only sell BMW stuff"

65 12 0 416 377 -Annapolis MINI but it's backordered for like 2 months

I'm pretty sure these are the new correct part numbers for these pieces, because all the places could agree on that at least:
65 20 0 034 887 kit $45
84 11 0 150 534 antenna $40

 

Check out blitzsafe.com. They sell aftermarket stuff that will integrate with the stock unit.

Also...I have a blitzsafe interface + XM receiver + antenna in The Marketplace
