Enabled Satellite (Sirius/XM) Radio!
My car came through with Sirius/XM radio prep, but it wasn't enabled. I bought it while it was still on the high seas so there was no opportunity to order it as an option.
The dealer wanted $590 to enable it.
I bought a cable from here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBD2-ENET-Et...5/122087082218 . He sent me some links that are generally available for coding various things, including Sirius/XM.
You also need to buy an "FSC" code. I found someone who was selling them for $120.
I spent about an hour or so in the idling MINI this afternoon, followed the directions, and did it! It was a little nerve wracking, but it turned out great. 'Satellite' now appears as an option!
I got onto the Sirius/XM site and signed up for the one year free trial of All Access. All Access means premium stations (like Howard Stern), and channel streaming on computer or phone. My usual modus operendi, to call XM shortly before the trial ends for a lower price, might be affected by the higher regular price of the All Access, lol.

Your car had the Prep option, which meant the satellite radio was already installed and all you had to do was to activate it?. I have the prep option which I thought meant that just the wiring for it was there and that I still needed to install the actual radio, which I purchased. Which model car do you have?
The cable VelvetFoot used is the same cable used for programming via ESYS for all sorts of other cool tweaks.

Edit.. looks like when i hit source, it says sirius. Not sure why I didnt see that before.
