They are not stealing from Sirius, they just allow you to activate the hardware that is already in the vehicle. You still have to pay for a Sirius subscription to receive the stations after the initial few months as is common with any new Sirius receiver.
As for the maps, the map update files are freely available online, so what you are really paying for is the code to allow the install. The non-dealer sellers of this code do have to get it from BMW in some way, they just dont have the same overhead as the dealer so they can sell it for cheaper.
Are the auto parts stores that sell OEM parts for less than what the dealer charges stealing? Or are the independent auto shops that work on BMWs stealing from the dealer because they charge less? I didnt think so.
