Hello, I've searched the forum, but couldn't find anything. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram, with factory installed Sirius radio. Well as you know, you cant see the title of songs or artists on the headunit I have, so I am wanting to us an aftermarket Sirius tuner, a Starmate5. I have found the stock antenna plug behind the glove box. But my question is does anyone know of an adapter to go from the stock Sirius antenna plug, I believe the connector is called a FAKRA, and plug into the back of a aftermarket Sirius tuner, specifically a Starmate 5. Thanks!

 

you should be able to see the title and artist through your stock radio... in my 07 you just have to push the info button.

 

I don't have an INFO button on my radio. It is only a single disc CD player

 

The single disc radio does not have this option. I bought the factory 6 disc radio from eBay and it was just plug and play.
There was on in our classified section not long ago.
You want a RAQ radio. I believe you have a REF now. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have the 3.5mm plug for a mp3 player like the one you have now, but I use a $10 FM transmitter for that. I rarely use it since I have a Sirrus subscription and 6 disc full of over 700 mp3's in the radio.

Sorry for the crappy pictures;

 

Thanks!

I found on another website, where someone used a GM adapter to convert XM antenna to Sirius antenna, already ordered the parts if that doesn't work, I will just send the parts back and get a RAQ radio.

 

FYI:
For anyone else looking into doing this,the GM XM to Sirius Adapter works , by connecting the stock Sirius antenna, the Fakra connector, to an aftermarket Sirius Radio.

Here is the link for that adapter:

Thanks for the update. I gave this thread a Permanent re-direct so that anyone looking in the 3rd Gen area using search can see this indefinately!
