For my '01 325Ci, I plan to get the XM Commander, the dual-input adapter from SoundGate, the special adapter (for CD Changer and XM radio simultaneously), and RCA cables for connection. Now, does anyone know if I need some type of special kit to put the Commander into the ashtray bin? I've seen pics of the installation, but I can't tell if I need an additional kit to get the Commander nice and snug where the ashtray is. Does it just fit in there as-is?
Also, if there's anyone who's used this setup (Blitzsafe our Soundgate), can you still use the headunit source button (CD,FM,AM, etc) to switch between functions? Meaning...I can hit source to switch to the XM unit. Since my car is 2001, I can't control the XM module via the headunit (that sucks!!), but would I be able to switch the source and then operate the XM unit manually?
