Dealer lied about satellite radio prep. Now I need to pay for it.
Hello everyone,
I discovered *after* the paperwork had been signed that the dealer verbally lied about the vehicle not having satellite radio. They indicated, in person, that it did. I glanced over the documentation and didn't notice it was satellite prep, rather than satellite radio. Now, he wants me to spend $500 through BMW to get the radio installed. UGH. I've been told you can get this installed much cheaper at non-OEM locations. Any idea how I can handle? |

I'm going through the same thing. I bought a used Z4 last April, and was told the radio was set up for Satellite Radio. I took delivery of the car, and when I attempted to move my Sirius account to the Z I found the same as you. It is wired for the radio, but no module installed. My Z is a 2009 model, and very little to no documentation exists on this car. I searched forums and found where the location of where the module mounts. In the trunk, left side under the storage tray. Once the tray is removed I found two plugs, one for power and signal, and antenna. I did buy a module through a used auto part store for a 2009 Z, and installed it today. I'll have to have the car programmed and the radio should show the icon for Sat radio, hopefully.

I’m so underwhelmed by Sirius that I never renew after the one year free service. I rely on an attached iPhone which has my entire music library uploaded to it or Pandora which works just as well and has a better music selection than Sirius. I wouldn’t pay extra for Sirius.

Sirius sounds pretty bad compared to a phone plugged in. The sound quality is horrible.
Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a music subscription on your phone and use it. |

Because the bitrate is higher streaming over the Internet, SiriusXM through the app via aux or BT will sound great. But for me, as irritated by bad sound quality as I get, I choose convenience of a module every time.
