I noticed on the MiniUSA website, that Sirius can be ordered, but is $500 ($525/Harmon Kardon), how does this hook into the unit?

Also, that seems DAM expensive, anything particularly special about
paying the $500 for it to be dealer installed? Do the steering wheel
controls work with it? Does the factory display work for stations and
info and such? Presets on the headunit?

I mean GM can put XM into a Caviler for hardly anything??? I figure
the breakdown of something like this for Sirius-
$99 for the aux input installed
$50 for a Terk antenna
$150 for a base Sirius unit
$70 for the install of the base-unit+antenna

Thats about $190 cheaper :smile:

er no, $130 :- the coffee cup runneth dry

 

Just so you know... yes, the steering wheel controls still work, it displays everything right on the head unit, it's own presets, etc..

and guess what, after that $500, you still have to pay for installation.


Thus, I don't have it.

 

F15- thanks for the followup. Since I own a Sony XM unit and
extra Terk antenna, looks like my option will be to have the Aux
input installed and put the XM stuff in myself...

But I do love my satellite radio :smile:

Check on xmfan.com and search for Delphi Roady. It's a new receiver that will be coming out in Sept. Very small unit and the ant. is about the size of a book of matches.

I've heard rumors of this tiny antenna. From what I just read at the above link, the unit will only work with cars that have a cassette player, but Delphi will be releasing a wireless unit for cars with/without cassette later this year.
