I have a 330 CiC on order - it's due first week in June. I should be thrilled right? Well I have a small problem that is spoiling it for me. I current;y have an XM (Sony plug-N-pay) in my current car. The thought of a new 330 cabrio in the summer is being tanished by the thought of giving up my satellite radio (no cassette).
I got XM because it was the fist available and I am hooked From what I have read, Sirius has better sound quality, it has a lower profile antenna, no commercials and the programming is not as juvenile as XM's (you can listen at siriusradio.com). Both BMW and Mercedes are going with Sirius. Sirius is national n July so Iwill go with them.
My dilemma - hack up the dash, go with FM modulation, or is there some other creative way to do this (i.e., go through the CD changer some way?). BMW won't have a sirius ready head unit until 2003. I could do FM modulation unitl then, but would rather not but two receivers.
How bad does the dash look with an aftermarket tuner plugged in? (any pics) Will using an new headunit prevent me from using the steering column controls? I am no audiophile, just a music lover. Thanks for the help.
