SiriusXM Satellite Radio: How It Works

MODEL

[NEW] All

[NEW] Vehicles equipped with option 655 (Satellite Radio)

INFORMATION

What is satellite radio in general?

It is a subscriber-based radio service that is broadcast directly from satellites. Subscribers will be able to receive up to 100 radio channels featuring

compact disc digital quality music, news, weather, sports, talk radio and other entertainment channels.

Basically, it is an additional radio band. Unlike AM and FM, which are transmitted from earth-bound transmitters, satellite radio comes primarily

from a signal sent via satellites orbiting the earth.

Satellite radio signals are digital and the satellites cover the entire continental US.

This means channels have no geographic boundaries, and when driving across the country, satellite radio should not encounter static or fade.

However, brief reception loss or distortion may occur when the satellite receiver in the vehicle loses sight of the satellite: for example, in dense

urban areas surrounded by high-rise buildings; under trees; in tunnels; or in some mountain valleys.

When such reception losses occur, "Acquiring" is shown on the radio display. This is normal operation and requires no further diagnosis.

NOTE:

SiriusXM has already installed land-based repeaters to minimize these occurrences.

How does SiriusXM satellite radio work?

[NEW] Sirius satellite radio is a Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) service operating in North America, owned by SiriusXM Radio.

Programming originates and is managed in the broadcast studio of SiriusXM, and transmitted to multiple high-powered satellites positioned in orbits

above the U.S.

The signal will then be broadcast from the satellites directly to satellite radio-capable receivers across the United States.

[NEW] For more detailed information, please log on to the SiriusXM website:

Satellite radio will not disrupt any existing radio signal. It is still possible to listen to local AM and FM stations.

[NEW] What is necessary for a SiriusXM satellite radio to operate in BMW vehicles?

To receive SiriusXM satellite radio in a BMW, three main components are needed:

1. SiriusXM-compatible audio system

2. Satellite antenna

3. Activated SiriusXM satellite radio receiver

The SiriusXM Satellite Receiver is a module that either is already part of the head unit (CIC, RAD2+ radio, etc.) or it mounts as a separate control

2020-2020 BMW 750i (F01) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 109

module in the rear of the vehicle.

The receiver is unique to BMW and specifically designed to work with SiriusXM satellite radio technology, integrating seamlessly into the BMW

bus network system.

The receiver module deciphers the satellite signal and converts it into an audio signal that is then sent to the vehicle's audio system.

The receiver will have a test channel (CH 184) to make sure the receiver is functioning.

The receiver must be activated to receive complete SiriusXM programming.

The BMW center activates the receiver via BMW CenterNet or a SiriusXM call center.

The Satellite Antenna is mounted on the roof on most models, and on the trunk of others.

Due to the technology of satellite radio transmissions, the antenna must be on the metal surface of a predefined area.

SiriusXM satellite radio is available for the following BMW vehicles:

Factory Installation

Refer to the availability chart on the SiriusXM website: www.siriusxm.com/vehicleavailability/b

Retrofit

Only vehicles with option 693 (Satellite Tuner Preparation)

Refer to the compatibility chart (Sirius Application and Parts Information) for retrofit kits in the Electronic Accessory Information Portal on BMW

CenterNet.

NOTE:

SiriusXM satellite radio is not available for the Z3 Roadster/Coupe, Z8 and E38 models.

IMPORTANT:

For newer BMW models, it is necessary to activate the satellite radio receiver through an enabling code.

For additional information on enabling codes (ordering, downloading, installation), refer to Service Information B09 04 09 and B09 05 09..

INFORMATION

SITUATION

Installing a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) from a known good vehicle into a problem vehicle is acceptable for testing purposes only.

Precautions:

^ [NEW] Swapping TCUs for testing purposes must only be performed when recommended by Technical Support via PuMA.

^ The vehicles must have the same production range, e.g., do not install a pre - 3/08 TCU into a post - 3/08 production vehicle.

^ The vehicle must have the same TCU type, e.g., Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Global System for Mobile (GSM), I/K-Bus, etc.

^ The vehicles must be similarly equipped, e.g., if the problem vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, the known good vehicle must be

equipped with a navigation system.

^ [NEW] Do NOT program or code the test TCU to the donor vehicle.

^ NEW] The TCU from the known good vehicle must be reinstalled in the original vehicle after testing has been completed.

[NEW] NOTE: This step is very important and it must be completed!

[NEW] After reinstalling the test TCU in the original vehicle from which it was borrowed, a BMW Assist test call must be performed.

The relationship between the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) or the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) in the TCU and the Vehicle

Identification Number (VIN) must always be maintained.

BMW of North America LLC deactivates the cellular services for the Network Access Device (NAD) within the TCU when the BMW Assist

subscriber agreement expires.

^ The vehicle can only be started with the remote control key in the slot of the Car Access System (CAS) or when held very closely to the

steering column.

CAUSE

[NEW] The replaceable battery in the remote control key is either damaged or depleted.

CORRECTION

Step A:

A defective/depleted battery in the remote control key will mimic that no battery is installed in the remote control key; hence, no check control

message will be displayed. This is why it is imperative to test the battery in the remote control key first.

[NEW] Testing showed that even when performing diagnosis and following the test plan for the key battery charge/voltage status check offered in

ISTA, a damaged/depleted key battery will not be recognized.

[NEW] As a result, follow the recommendation below without performing a vehicle test:

1. [NEW] Check the battery functionality by removing the original key battery in the key and install a known good key battery; or, even better, use a

battery tester called state of charge (e.g., ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1) to test the key battery capacity

2. [NEW] Retest the functionality of the remote control key.

3. [NEW] When proper functionality is confirmed, replace the key batteries on all assigned remote control keys for the vehicle.

4. [NEW] If proper functionality cannot be restored with a known good key battery, refer to Step B.

Note:

The average life cycle of a battery in the remote control key is approximately 3 years from the day of production of the vehicle.

[NEW] More details on the ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 can be found in Attachment_A and on the ZTS manufacturer website,

www.ztsinc.com/mbtl.html.

[NEW] Note:

The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 must be purchased through your center (e.g. from Amazon.com, SEARS, etc.). It will not be offered through

BMW.

Step B:

Perform diagnosis using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application). Complete any test plans related to the radio remote control system.

Note:

If the remote control key must be replaced, swap the existing slide-in (mechanical) key into the new replacement remote control(s).

Important:

If the rearview mirror must be replaced (remote receiver is integrated) on a Convertible, please perform a visual check on the mirror to assure that

the frequency of the remote receiver installed in the mirror is 315 MHz.

SiriusXM Satellite Radio: How It Works

MODEL

[NEW] All

[NEW] Vehicles equipped with option 655 (Satellite Radio)

INFORMATION

What is satellite radio in general?

2010-2020 BMW 550i Sedan (E60) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 78

It is a subscriber-based radio service that is broadcast directly from satellites. Subscribers will be able to receive up to 100 radio channels featuring

compact disc digital quality music, news, weather, sports, talk radio and other entertainment channels.

Basically, it is an additional radio band. Unlike AM and FM, which are transmitted from earth-bound transmitters, satellite radio comes primarily

from a signal sent via satellites orbiting the earth.

Satellite radio signals are digital and the satellites cover the entire continental US.

This means channels have no geographic boundaries, and when driving across the country, satellite radio should not encounter static or fade.

However, brief reception loss or distortion may occur when the satellite receiver in the vehicle loses sight of the satellite: for example, in dense

urban areas surrounded by high-rise buildings; under trees; in tunnels; or in some mountain valleys.

When such reception losses occur, "Acquiring" is shown on the radio display. This is normal operation and requires no further diagnosis.

NOTE:

SiriusXM has already installed land-based repeaters to minimize these occurrences.

How does SiriusXM satellite radio work?

[NEW] Sirius satellite radio is a Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) service operating in North America, owned by SiriusXM Radio.

Programming originates and is managed in the broadcast studio of SiriusXM, and transmitted to multiple high-powered satellites positioned in orbits

above the U.S.

The signal will then be broadcast from the satellites directly to satellite radio-capable receivers across the United States.

[NEW] For more detailed information, please log on to the SiriusXM website:

Satellite radio will not disrupt any existing radio signal. It is still possible to listen to local AM and FM stations.

[NEW] What is necessary for a SiriusXM satellite radio to operate in BMW vehicles?

To receive SiriusXM satellite radio in a BMW, three main components are needed:

1. SiriusXM-compatible audio system

2. Satellite antenna

3. Activated SiriusXM satellite radio receiver

The SiriusXM Satellite Receiver is a module that either is already part of the head unit (CIC, RAD2+ radio, etc.) or it mounts as a separate control

module in the rear of the vehicle.

The receiver is unique to BMW and specifically designed to work with SiriusXM satellite radio technology, integrating seamlessly into the BMW

bus network system.

The receiver module deciphers the satellite signal and converts it into an audio signal that is then sent to the vehicle's audio system.

The receiver will have a test channel (CH 184) to make sure the receiver is functioning.

The receiver must be activated to receive complete SiriusXM programming.

The BMW center activates the receiver via BMW CenterNet or a SiriusXM call center.

The Satellite Antenna is mounted on the roof on most models, and on the trunk of others.

Due to the technology of satellite radio transmissions, the antenna must be on the metal surface of a predefined area.

SiriusXM satellite radio is available for the following BMW vehicles:

Factory Installation

CenterNet.

NOTE:

SiriusXM satellite radio is not available for the Z3 Roadster/Coupe, Z8 and E38 models.

IMPORTANT:

For newer BMW models, it is necessary to activate the satellite radio receiver through an enabling code.

For additional information on enabling codes (ordering, downloading, installation), refer to Service Information B09 04 09 and B09 05 09..

INFORMATION

SITUATION

Installing a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) from a known good vehicle into a problem vehicle is acceptable for testing purposes only.

Precautions:

^ [NEW] Swapping TCUs for testing purposes must only be performed when recommended by Technical Support via PuMA.

^ The vehicles must have the same production range, e.g., do not install a pre - 3/08 TCU into a post - 3/08 production vehicle.

^ The vehicle must have the same TCU type, e.g., Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Global System for Mobile (GSM), I/K-Bus, etc.

^ The vehicles must be similarly equipped, e.g., if the problem vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, the known good vehicle must be

equipped with a navigation system.

^ [NEW] Do NOT program or code the test TCU to the donor vehicle.

^ NEW] The TCU from the known good vehicle must be reinstalled in the original vehicle after testing has been completed.

[NEW] NOTE: This step is very important and it must be completed!

[NEW] After reinstalling the test TCU in the original vehicle from which it was borrowed, a BMW Assist test call must be performed.

The relationship between the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) or the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) in the TCU and the Vehicle

Identification Number (VIN) must always be maintained.

BMW of North America LLC deactivates the cellular services for the Network Access Device (NAD) within the TCU when the BMW Assist

subscriber agreement expires.

[NEW] Remote Control and/or Comfort Access Functionality Is Inoperative

MODEL

All

[NEW] Vehicles with remote control keys that have a replaceable battery

SITUATION

The radio remote control and Comfort Access functionality is inoperative:

^ The vehicle can only be unlocked or locked with the mechanical key.

2010-2020 BMW 550i Sedan (E60) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 70

^ The vehicle can only be started with the remote control key in the slot of the Car Access System (CAS) or when held very closely to the

steering column.

CAUSE

[NEW] The replaceable battery in the remote control key is either damaged or depleted.

CORRECTION

Step A:

A defective/depleted battery in the remote control key will mimic that no battery is installed in the remote control key; hence, no check control

message will be displayed. This is why it is imperative to test the battery in the remote control key first.

[NEW] Testing showed that even when performing diagnosis and following the test plan for the key battery charge/voltage status check offered in

ISTA, a damaged/depleted key battery will not be recognized.

[NEW] As a result, follow the recommendation below without performing a vehicle test:

1. [NEW] Check the battery functionality by removing the original key battery in the key and install a known good key battery; or, even better, use a

battery tester called state of charge (e.g., ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1) to test the key battery capacity

2. [NEW] Retest the functionality of the remote control key.

3. [NEW] When proper functionality is confirmed, replace the key batteries on all assigned remote control keys for the vehicle.

4. [NEW] If proper functionality cannot be restored with a known good key battery, refer to Step B.

Note:

The average life cycle of a battery in the remote control key is approximately 3 years from the day of production of the vehicle.

[NEW] More details on the ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 can be found in Attachment_A and on the ZTS manufacturer website,

www.ztsinc.com/mbtl.html.

[NEW] Note:

The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 must be purchased through your center (e.g. from Amazon.com, SEARS, etc.). It will not be offered through

BMW.

Step B:

Perform diagnosis using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application). Complete any test plans related to the radio remote control system.

Note:

If the remote control key must be replaced, swap the existing slide-in (mechanical) key into the new replacement remote control(s).

Important:

If the rearview mirror must be replaced (remote receiver is integrated) on a Convertible, please perform a visual check on the mirror to assure that

the frequency of the remote receiver installed in the mirror is 315 MHz.
