Is there anyway to use a nav traffic option w/ the factory navigation unit? That feature is a must in some areas (like LA) and of course, BMW offers it from the factory w/ the 335i.

If there is anyone to interface a Sirius or XM nav traffic device, that would just be awesome. Would it even be feasible? Seeing how they have some of the ipod/sirius/xm interfaces for the nav, I don't see it being out of the question.

Any ideas?

It is unlikely that you can do any sat traffic service with your stock Nav unit. It does not have the software support built in for this, unless they've added it with a recent DVD update for XM. You will not be able to use Sirius' traffic service, it is only currently supported on an Alpine aftermarket nav unit. If you replace your stock unit, you can potentially get either XM NavTraffic or Sirius Traffic.

Yeah, I did some more reading, and XM is only supporting some 07 Lexus models and a handful of other makes/models. I wish it were an option

I'm picking up the Alpine unit myself.
