Satellite Radio on a non-iDrive X1

Hi everyone,
Since we are going on a road trip in the next couple of weeks I started thinking about activating Sirius/XM in our X1. Did some research and it turns out that our non-iDrive X1 comes pre-wired and all I need is a code. Called our local dealer here in Calgary and they said that it's going to cost me around $700! I was speechless! Something that costs $375 in the States is almost double in Canada?! Question I have is: Has anyone done this? If I get this code somewhere else, how much time do they need to activate it?

I believe you need the hardware and coding, not just a code

From what a guy in parts told me it is just a code. Not sure though. I checked my VIN on BMW VIN finder and it says that the car is pre-wired.
Very confused.

Pre-wired and pre-installed are two different things.
