Xm and Bmw Pair Up for the Ultimate Driving Experience


XM Satellite Radio is the cream of the crop when it comes to the radio listening experience, with millions of American consumers already experiencing the service. Since XM is such a premium radio service, it only makes sense that they are teaming up with one of the top automobile manufacturers. XM Satellite Radio and BMW automobiles are teaming up to create the ultimate luxury driving experience. With XM Satellite Radio in the car, it's even easier for BMW drivers to cruise the roads without having to switch stations to find a good tune.





One of the reasons that XM Satellite Radio is so complimentary to BMW automobiles is the equipment they offer. The XM Direct is a perfect example of this. This is a portable satellite radio tuner that can easily connect to a satellite-ready radio with an adaptor. New BMWs are either satellite-radio ready or come with a factory installed XM satellite radio tuner, which consumers can choose at purchase time. The XM Direct can also be easily adapted to an older BMW, so smart drivers don't have to replace their old stereo system to enjoy a satellite radio tuner in their car.





BMW is one of the vehicle makes that is most compatible with the XM Direct, with special adaptors made for their models as well as for the Mini. They permit satellite radio-ready systems and aftermarket in-dash systems to pick up a full XM Satellite Radio subscription service. It doesn't matter what type of BMW audio system is in the vehicle, drivers still receive the same digital sound. Since BMW is the ultimate driving machine, XM Satellite Radio is a perfect partner. And consumers don't have to worry about bulky receivers or obvious satellite radio antennas that may take away from the sleek look of their vehicles. The XM Direct easily integrates into an existing stereo system or hides behind the dash.





There is very little difficulty involved in setting up an XM Direct system in most other automobiles, as well. With most factory-installed and aftermarket car stereos it only takes a few adaptor cables to install the satellite radio tuner. These can work with stereo components from major manufacturers such as Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer and Sony. XM Satellite Radio & BMW are the only two companies that have such a successful relationship. XM Radio also easily installs in Chryslers, Dodges, Jeeps, Buicks, Cadillacs, GMCs, Minis, Pontiacs, and Saturns. They do not offer quite as many options, incentives and compatibility, but they do make it possible to receive auto satellite radio from XM without too much trouble.





Anyone in the market for a new BMW may be pleasantly surprised to find free XM with their new vehicle purchase. People who drive older BMWs, which last forever and never go out of style, can also enjoy the easiest installation of XM Direct in their cars to enjoy the same great satellite radio service. These two companies are making it easier to enjoy the best in satellite radio and the ultimate driving experiences all at once.

Installing car stereo, won't turn on, low voltage reading of 12v constant battery wire... hmmm?
I am installing an Alpine CDA-9883 headunit into my 2004 Honda Civic, making all the connections myself. When I plugged it in to test my wiring job before connecting the speaker wires, it didn't work. My bf figured out why: I had connected the RADIO's 12v constant wire to a speaker wire. He found the correct one and connected them via aligator clips to test it, plugged in the thing again and it turned on! So I was very excited to finish the job, connect all the speakers, and use it only to be disappointed because it didn't work at for me again. Testing the wires again, I found something that seems fishy- the 12v constant is barely fluctuating under a volt on the meter. Everything in the car still works fine, including the interior lights with no key in. I don't think my problem is anything besides this wire, and I don't know why it was working before for my bf. The ignition wire reads over 12v when I turn the key to accessory. So did I just pull the constant wire too hard or something and it's loose now? What the heck did I do? Please help! I've been working on this all day and was feeling very proud of myself until now. :P

How to install car stereo when the cords don't match?
I own a '05 Chevrolet Equinox that has everything like when it was released from the factory. I want to give my car a better stereo by getting a new interface and even speakers. I ordered a nice stereo, it is the Dual XMA7715 that includes AM/FM/CD/MP3/iPod Ready Receiver/and Bluetooth ready (i know I didn't have to include it but I'm trying to give as much information as possible). It came in the other day and I started taking out the stereo in my car. After I got it out I noticed that the cords from my new and old stereo do not match. I want to know if there is something to do about this? I've been looking around but I am still not sure which one to get to fit my new radio? Will I need multiple wiring harness' or just one?
