i have an 03 with the 6-disc changer
can i add sirius to this or do i need to get something else?

 

It depends on what you want. The fm modulated ones work well. I have the cd player with cd changer contol so I added an adapter from crutchfield so now I play my xm and mp3 player through my radio for better sound quality. If your player has a mode button you most likely can do this. If you want the factory set it can be done but will cost more. The adapter from crutchfield has two rca inputs so I may get sirius also to listen to Howard.

 

those crutchfield ones will plug right into my HU?

 

Make sure you look at the channel options of Sirius vs XM. I used to prefer Sirius, until I started to listen to XM on my dish in the house. It is nice to do the honeydos while listening to music all throughout the house (as long as the Mrs. isn't home)

 

sho nuff! if it has the mode button and cd changer port on the back. I believe it is a 10pin plug

 

i have the mode button that you are talking about but will the stock HU display all the info and will i be able to control it from the steering wheel mounted controls?
thanks for the help

 

Are you talking about a factory sirius add on or an aftermarket?

 

i am talking about the ones from crutchfield
you said that they plug right into the stock HU
but will it display all the song/artist info on the HU?
or be controlled by the controls on the steering wheel?

 

Do you have the in dash 6 disk? If not your changer is already using that port. The after market units display song info on its own screen. What controls on steering wheel, volume?

To be sure plug your radio out and look at the back to see if there is a open 1c x1cm 10 pin port. If Yes order the rca input adaptor from crutchfield and plug your unit into one of the rca jacks and you will have cd quality satelite radio. Use the other port for and mp3 player or something. To pull the trim panel: unscrew the one screw above bag hook and gently pull panel to release the clips around radio. Then there are 4 screws holding radio in.

Good Luck
