Default Installing a stock sat radio question.

My 07 did not come with the sat radio option.
If I was to get the antenna, radio etc, is the harness already there or do I have to run the harness part up the pillar as well?

Thanks Mark

I can install it but the harness looks pretty short thats why I asked about a harness in the cab.



I have an XM account but would like to make it proper looking.

BTW, when you get back, call them and tell them you might cancel because of the price and they will cut you ( or anyone) a deal.

We've had this issue in the new Camaros and at the term end, guys have called and got up to a 50% discount!

yeah that may only be the part where it connects...do some research on it and see if it mentions anything about a wire relay that runs from that to the actual radio itself cause thats why mine looked like but had like a 30 foot cable coming out the other end to run all the way to the radio! And really? I might call them and be like i joined the military at this time and i called and was told my sirius would be put on hold till came back to the states! wonder if that would get me some free sirius radio time for a few months!?

I think he meant he tried getting them (Sirius) to cut him a deal, yet they just let him go.
