Homelink for '05 X5 with Panoramic sunroof

[fatboyoz]

All,
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the overhead Homelink module for a non panoramic sunroof and for a panoramic sunroof?
I presume it has something to do with the shape of the section that fits inside the roof lining. This would probably be different due to the proximity of the panoramic sunroof ECU.
I know that there is some difference, because when you access the European Auto Source website, they ask you to select with/without sunroof option prior to purchase.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Colin.

Surely someone knows the answer to this!

Well, I've never seen a post in 3+ years talking about a difference in the modules. Simply because they ask the question, doesn't mean there is a difference. Use this link: http://www.europeanautosource.com/contact_us.php

Ask them directly. And the drop down I'm seeing says "equipped with sunroof or no sunroof" so I don't believe there is any difference at all between a regular and pano.

Wagner,
Thanks for your reply. I have taken your advice and used the link you sent to ask them directly.
I think I must have been viewing a different EAS page to you. http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=358
This page shows the module I am after, and the drop down menu clearly shows a choice between "with sunroof" and "without sunroof", as does one other site I found selling this item. The reason I am asking this question is that it is difficult to obtain this item that operates on 433Mhz, the required frequency for Australia and Europe. I may then have to buy the module, at the incorrect frequency, and modify it. Hence I would like to get the best deal possible, just in case I screw it up.
Thanks again,
Colin.

I agreed to your earlier post, but the question the site asks is not "what type of sunroof" just whether you have one or not. You said Panoramic or not Panoramic, there are two types of sunroofs possible on earlier X5's. I was simply making the distinction
