Sirius Satellite Radio Installation for the ’00-‘06 E46 3 Series
Coupe and Sedan
Tools Required:
• Panel Removal Tool
• 8mm socket wrench (CD Changer Removal)
CRITICAL Installation Notes:
This is a VERY simple installation, as we are simply plugging in the factory CD changer wires into
the Sirius module, routing the included cable from the Sirius back to the CD changer (when
equipped), and plugging the antenna into the Sirius Module. That’s it.
Don’t forget to write down the Sirius ID number, located on the Sirius module. You’ll need it to have Sirius
activate the module.
Do NOT plug the 3 pin connector into the Sirius Module until all other connections have been made. This is
imperative.
The Process:
We’ll begin by disassembling the trunk first..
1. Begin by removing all items from the trunk of the vehicle. Make sure that all tail lights are
in working order. If not, now is a good time to replace them. Also remove the carpet that
covers the floor of the trunk, as it will reveal a couple of fasteners that will need removing.
2. Start by removing the taillight covers. Push inward on the clip, and the light will release
itself. Now depress the wiring clip attached to the light bulb housing to release the
housing, and move the housing safely away from your working space (Photo on next
page).

BMW Z4 Roadster Satellite Radio Installation Instructions Manual
Satellite Radio Installation Instructions for BMW Z4 Roadster
03+ with Analog DSP (E85)
Before you begin the installation process, it is IMPERATIVE that you read
and understand the following information. We also recommend
disconnecting your negative battery terminal.
• You will need the Satellite Radio ID number to activate the radio. This
number is always located on a decal somewhere on the satellite
radio module. Write this down before installation begins, as it can be
covered up by Velcro once you install the module.
Tools Required for Installation:
• Panel Removal Tool
• Torx T20 (Ashtray Assembly Removal)
• Wire Cutters/Crimpers
• Metric Allen Key Set
• Brain
Accessing Factory CD Changer Wiring – The wiring we’ll be working with should
be very easily located. However, we have encountered a few Z4’s with the wiring buried
deep within the center console which required complete removal of the factory center
console. If you do not find the wiring within a few minutes, you may want to have your
dealer access the CD changer wiring for you. There will likely be a cost associated with
this, and Bavarian Soundwerks will NOT be responsible for these costs.
1) The wires we’re looking for are located behind the carpeted panel on the rear wall of the
trunk, closest to the cabin. To remove the carpeted panel, remove the trunk floor mat first by
lifting it out of the vehicle. We’ll only be prying the carpeted panel up just enough to give us
access to the area where the CD Changer connections reside.
Once you’ve removed the floor panel, the battery will also be revealed. Go ahead and disconnect
your negative battery terminal.
2) Now, we’ll need to remove the plastic fasteners that secure the upper layer of carpeting along the
floor. There are two of them, one on either side of the carpeted panel.
3) Now, we can fold the carpeted panel along the rear wall back, and we’ll be looking for the
rectangular pass-through into the cabin. It’s about 6” up from the bottom of the floor, and directly
in the middle of the rear firewall. We will be looking for two wires, one 3 pin connector, and one
coaxial connection.
4) Both the 3 pin and Digital Coaxial connector will be found tucked into the rectangular
entrance into the cabin shown below. They can be tucked quite tightly in here, so you may
have to fish around a bit to release them. They may be found together or the coaxial cable may

1. Now, plug the 3 pin connector into the Sirius Module. Secure all wiring and enjoy
your Sirius.
Sirius Receiver Mounting
We’ve included a couple of Velcro strips for mounting the unit wherever you fancy. We’ll typically mount it
There isn’t a bad mounting location in the X5’s. There’s so much room back there that you basically just
need to secure the module by whatever means works best in your situation. You can always call us if you
have any questions!
Using the Sirius Radio:
To access your new Sirius Radio, you will simply press the mode button on your radio or Navigation screen.
Refer to the included owner’s manual for operation instructions. The Sirius will essentially operate identically
to the FM/AM radio that you’re already familiar with.
If you press the mode button and nothing happens, meaning Sirius is not displayed on your radio screen,
see below.
Please note that in some vehicles, especially 2003, 2004, and early 2005 models that it may be
necessary to enter the radio’s service mode to activate the Sirius. The radio is set default to Europe, and we
need to turn it to USA mode, as satellite radio currently only operates within the continental USA.
To do this, proceed as follows:
