Yep, it will switch between CD and SAT when the "mode" (left) button is pushed when the unit is hooked to the radio.

You will have to use an OEM Sirius radio that goes under the dash above the glovebox.

Default What Sirius add-on tuner will work with my RAQ radio in 2004 Durango Limited?

I want to buy the correct Sirius add-on tuner module which best interfaces with the RAQ radio in my 2004 Durango Limited. I presently have a CHYX after-market amp added to the RAQ to permit my XM Inno car kit to go into the radio, but the RAQ will not tune the XM Inno, and the frequency response is not as good as the OEM Sirius system I've heard in other Durango OEM setups.

What is the Sirius tuner module part number, where can it be bought these days, and is an additional wire harness required to add it? What is the part number for the wire harness?

Thank you in advance for answering my questions!

Hey Marty,

Where did you find the Sirius add-in tuner & harness for the RAQ radio, and what prices were they? I've found various ones out there but cannot find the item on Dodge's website and no traceability of which Sirius tuner module it should be. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
