can u get a insert radio that is xm or sir ready like a stock dodge radio??

 

Most new DC radios are sirius ready

 

Can sirius radios be used with XM? I have a 5 year subscription to XM.

 

nope totally different systems. they do offer aftermarket head units that are XM equipped but they are $$$$ .

 

where can i get a sir head unit that slips right in ?? form the great white north canada eh??

 

I belive all major stereo places have them, Best buy, P.C.Richard, Circuit city, as well as the local maa, and paa places. They are becoming more popular, and are showing up in alot of places.

 

What do you have now? You should be able to get a pretty close to new stock Dodge radio pretty cheap on ebay. I've heard of people buying the stock radio, selling it and putting in the RB1 NAV system.

 

stock cd cass want the factory look do they make one like the original???

 

Some resources:

All Chrysler Radios - Find yours and see if it's Sirius compatible

If if is, this page tells you what you need to buy to add Sirius to your setup. These are Chrysler parts and are integrated into the existing system. (steering wheel controls, hardwired receiver, etc) Basically you'll need a receiver and installation kit.

My dealer quoted me $165 for the receiver, $116 for the install kit and $100 for labor.
Hope that helps.

 

Just found this link posted on TDR for an adapter that's supposed to allow you to hardwire a sat receiver (XM OR Sirius) to the CD changer port. Note that it does NOT work with RBQ or RB1.

Here's the link:

Here's the TDR thread it came from:

You might want to go with the XM Comander it hard wires under the dash and then you have a small head unit that installs some where on the dash it onley about 1 1/2 wide and 3 inches long and thats all you see ! of course you lasy folks do get to use the remote!

 

XM Radio will hook up easily with an fm mudulator... I had xm already like you and did not want to switch to sirius... Just go and get the fm modulator and mount the reciever in the truck and back to commercial free radio....

 

Spend $200, get an antenna, Mp3 playing headunit and sirius decoder from Crutchfield. Mine was $209 shipped! Came with all the adapters and wiring harnesses. Works great. That's for Sirius. This HU will sound a lot better than stock too, has a little bit more power.

If you need that $20 discount, PM me and I'll hook it up.
