Unlock Satellite Radio
Hi everyone,
Hope all is well. Currently in a 2017 X5 loaner that doesn’t have satellite radio, but going on a road trip tomorrow and I’d like to know if any way to ‘unlock’ such capability. Not simply a matter of adding a subscription, but the ‘band’ under media; would like to know if the car is equipped with same, but same Is somehow ‘masked’. Thanks! |

Sign up for the ongoing free 2 week Sirius trail period and either stream or connect via USB. New Sirius app update as of yesterday now includes car play intergration- doubt if the loaner has this option.

Satellite radio in these cars is awful in my opinion. Not only do I find the stations to be underwhelming but the sound quality infuriates me. I find zero use for it with Spotify, Pandora, Apple Radio etc.
I could see it being worth it for people who regularly listen to talk radio but for music, barf. |

You can stream XM through its app.
