Has anyone had any experience with a dealer installed Sirius Satellite Radio. Seems kind of expensive, around $200 + install for the factory tuner & install kit.

If my head unit is Satellite ready will it just become another option under the "mode" button (AM/FM/CD/DVD/SAT)?

I'm considering going this route because I think it will look the cleanest and offer the best sound quality as opposed to mounting a plug n play unit and listening via an unused FM station.

Any opinions or experiences would be helpful

Thanks

 

Yes, when you hit MODE it switches from CD to SAT. I had the service for one year. I found I wasn't listen to the satellite radio as much as when I first got the truck.

 

Thanks Vic

Has anybody had their dealer install the Satellite tuner ??? Did they have to drill the roof for the Antenna ? How did the install look? Any problems or issues ??

 

No one out there has had this done ??

 

Yes they drill the roof.

 

I imagine if you can find the satellite antenna plug then you could just buy an antenna and route it wherever you want it. I have sirius myself and the antenna that came with it was able to be routed all the way back to the rear on the top of my D. I wouldn't want to drill a hole if I didn't have to. I was able to tuck the wire under all of the interior moldings so that it is unseen.
