For Christams I was given a Nexus XM radio, it is the size of an Ipod. It is easy to connect but it plays through and FM module....yuk!!! I would like to hard wire it but not sure how. Does anyone have any good ideas on what to do. I'm using my Ipod right now that is connected to the CD player connection, but I woul love to have XM radio also.
Thank you
Mario

As for the iPod connection, what kit are you using?

The DICE has a built in AUX port - while this will not offer integration (steering wheel or text display) it will sound much better than FM transmitted audio.

The best route would be to go XM Direct:

XM Direct Satellite Radio Package for BMW & Mini

I'd say use the Aux you can install to the headunit (From dealer) takes 2mins to install and you're good to patch to the Nexus, its right up front and easy to access the Nexus for control... while playing directly through speakers. If/when you do be sure to go to the headunit set up and adjust the volume for AUX, its defaulted at 0 and you'll think it didn't work!
(this is unless that built in Aux for the DICE is located near driver rather in the boot)

Nevermind... I see you're more interested in complete integration, go with the blitzsafe adapter/setup from "myradiostore.com"

I have a Nexxus and love the unit. I use the FM Modulator and have never had any bleed through and it is clear.

What I hate about the Nexxus is the lack of options to mount the unit and you have to use their cradle.. Below is my final install. Let me know how you make out
