Adding Satellite Radio - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

MassBimmer · 10-27-2012, 07:34 PM

I've seen this discussed a bit already but haven't seen a definitive answer. Even though you can't order the car with satellite radio as a standalone option, is it possible to have it added when it comes in to port or at the dealer? If so, any idea on cost? I'm ordering an F30 on Friday and don't plan on getting the Premium Package but would really like to add satellite radio seperately. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

I believe there is a BMW retrofit for this. Ask your SA. There are also some 3rd party retrofits out there too.

I think all US cars come with Satellite prep, so it should only require an FSC code to activate.

You can check to see if you have Satellite prep by putting your 7-character VIN into www.bmwvin.com

Dealer can install. Usually $375 + programming, typically an hour, comes with 1/yr subscription.
