Question about Sirius?

larryd · 05-14-2006, 12:13 AM

So I know that are head units (non navi) are XM ready meaning I could get the dealer installed option of the xm brain along with the antenna and I could control the XM stations via the stock head unit. What I want to know is is there anyway to get Sirius to work with the stock head unit without one of the sirus controllers?

My wife has an aftermarket Kenwood head unit that Sirius makes a brain for and you can control Sirius through the head unit, do they make anything like this for our factory head unit?

No, because I would've bought it already.
THe XM upgrade is ONLY for cars that have the XM ready radio.
The stock EX can use the upgrade but the LX cannot.

I asked my dealership that question the day I bought my car, I dont like XM either, Sirius is WAY BETTER, I am planning on going by bestbuy and see what they can do, hopefully NO DRILLING, this idea of drilling my NEW CAR makes me woozy, especially bestbuy drilling

I broke down and bought a Starmate Replay so I can put Sirius in the car. I just wish they had a controller that allowed the stock head unit to control everything but oh well.

No it's supposed to be here tomorrow and you don't have to drill anything. Check out the install I found here.
