0693 sat radio prep wiring location; please read!

Jaymax85 · 09-05-2012, 07:38 PM

Hi everyone,
I am hoping you guys can enlighten me with your wealth of knowledge. So I have an 09 135i with 2/09 build date. It has Navi, Hifi stereo, ipod adapter, and sat radio prep. The build sheet is attached below. I referenced real oem and it shows I need a sat radio module. So it seems like there should be wires near the battery in the trunk that are the actual wiring harness for the module. So I have been looking through my trunk and I cannot for the life of my find the wiring harness that is the sat radio prep option.

So I called my local dealer, Kelly BMW in columbus, oh to ask if they could guide me as to where the harness may be... or if maybe perhaps mine was like the 2010s and just needed a reprogram and no module. The parts person, derek, was pretty curt to me on the phone and couldnt find the instructions for install. I asked to speak to a tech or whether I could bring my car in and have a tech just point out the harness to me or even point me in the right direction. Derek pretty much stated "we are in the business of selling parts and service, we cant help you at all". I then asked who I should call to figure this out, whether it be corporate or what.. and he was like... "the only way we can help you is tell u to pay us to install whatever you need".

Anyway sorry for the rant, but can anyone guide me as to where I can find this harness? I posted pics of my trunk and the area the harness SHOULD BE.

thanks in advance
