Satellite Radio is the radio of the future. In the past, BMW has restricted owners to only Sirius in their vehicle - this is not the case any longer. XM features over 160 digital channels - The Most Commercial-Free Music in Satellite Radio, over 30 channels of news, sports, talk and ntertainment, over 20 dedicated channels of XM Instant Traffic & Weather, and the deepest playlist in the industry with access to over 2 million titles!
Our XM Direct lets you use your factory radio display and controls to listen to XM with no need for a separate receiver mounted on your dash. The hide-away tuner box integrates seamlessly with your factory BMW audio system and can be hidden out of sight for a factory-like appearance. Kit includes XMDirect receiver, low-profile roof antenna and our BMW-specific interface that makes the kit plug and play.
