You need the MKIV navigation computer, and the 16:9 widescreen BMW display. Firstly, your car needs to be equipped with navigation to follow this DIY. In order to support SIRIUS XM Radio, you need a few pieces of hardware. You will need to check the part number in your car to the number in the list below. Refer to the BM53 radio part numbers below for information about support. However, it may not be late enough to still support auxiliary. If your car is a 09/2001 production and later, your car already has a BM53 radio. Prerequisites: In order to support auxiliary input, you need one of the more modern BM53 radios. ** This DIY requires navigation-equipped cars** More models may be supported by the product(s) featured in this post, such as the E83 X3, etc. This includes, but is not limited to, SIRIUS satellite XM radio, auxiliary input, and MP3 ID3 tags for the CD changer.Īpplicable Vehicles: 1997-2003 BMW E39 5-series: 523i, 525i, 528i, 530i, 535i, 540i, M5. Objective: Update all of our car’s old I-Bus hardware to the latest possible I-Bus compliant components to support the most modern features possible. I also wired the XM antenna and 3.5mm cable into the car. I will first retrofit the radio, then SIRIUS, and then auxiliary. What am I Doing? Personally, I am adding auxiliary input and SIRIUS XM and the most modern BM53 radio to my 02/2000 production BMW E39 M5. The oldest car that I would expect to work with SIRIUS XM, for example, would be a navigation equipped E38 7-series.
Note that many BMW models used I-Bus, but the majority of these are not compatible with the products listed in this article due to their age. This gave BMW a long time to create newer, better, faster, and more functional hardware that operated off of I-Bus. I-Bus was used until 2006, on the E46 3-series and E53 X5-series.
It offers an impressive data transfer rate of 9.6KB/s. I-Bus was first used on the 1989 BMW E31, or 8-series. Picture it as the platform, and the language of hardware/software that makes everything technology communicate. It is important to realize that the BMW E39 uses an infrastructure for technology in the car known as I-Bus, or Information Bus. I am going to attempt to break down exactly what you need to do to retrofit a BM53 Radio, Auxiliary Input, and SIRIUS XM Radio into your BMW E39 5-series. Welcome to what is going to be a very long article, and a great wealth of knowledge.
