'07 BMW 530i *Sirius* question

[ronmayeur]

  I bought a used '07 530i without Sirius option, I have purchased the module for the trunk on E-Bay, it connected to the factory harness in the trunk. Now to get it interfaced, what are the options?

Thanks,

Morning Ron

I have never fitted a Sirius unit but have changed quite a few other modules on Beemers. You will need someone with a good BMW compatible software package (or buy it yourself usually a package will be about the same as 1 diagnostic session), something like INPA/ISTA, BMW 1.4.0 not sure about i-carsoft or Foxwell as I haven't tried them. I know they can read the fault codes just not sure about their ability to code/re-code modules. 

As it is a used Unit it will probably be registered to the original chassis so will need that removed and yours inserted. Most BMW Dealers will tell you "Can't be done" you need a new unit and "Only they can code it" which of course is rubbish

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply, I actually have a great local dealership, but I need to at least look at getting a "patch cable" for my laptop.

 

Take care,
