New M owner (slightly disappointed)
New M owner (slightly disappointed)
Whats going on guys and gals! I just purchased an 06 M35 today it only had 96k miles and I got it for 10k!! It has navigation and rear view camera options installed. Here comes the disappointment.... I assumed (yea i know assume = as* + u + me) that because it had the navigation that it had the siruis xm installed because from what i thought was a very hefty amount of research i did before purchasing all the packages that included the navi included the sirius boy was my feelings hurt. None the less I figured I'd just use my aux cable from the phone lo and behold theres no aux port either. Those are the only two issues that I have as of this moment especially the aux cable figured that would be standard on a car of this caliber. Now I'm not bashing the M by any means I am in LOVE with my new ride... My question is i'm sure more experienced M owners have had the same issues rub them the wrong way and I was wondering what are some relatively easy do it yourself routes I could go for either the xm or aux alternatives. I'd like to keep it as factory looking as possible IE no xm external radios with wires everywhere or any aftermarket stereos... Any help or advice would be appreciated!! Thanks.

You can also get a USA Spec. PA15-NIS which has an AUX capability and OEM-like iPod integration.

A great iPod/iPhone/smartphone/MP3 integration device called the MediaBridge can be purchased and installed - as is it what I use. Here's the link for it: http://www.amazon.com/Dice-MBR-1502-NIS ... 63WX1NFAW3
You can also read up on my thoughts/impressions of the MediaBridge, here: 06-m35-fully-integrated-ipod-system-t58 ... l#p6573324.
Some additional thoughts pertaining to connecting are posted here: iphone-5s-to-08-m35-help-t588947.html#p6578090.
The MediaBridge still works like a charm, and I love the fact that they are still rolling out with updates that I can install easily (via center console).
Good luck to you in advance!
