greg2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Does anyone know if there is a way to get Sirus without replacing everything in the dash of my 05 SS. I have XM and really don't care too much for on the other hand I have Sirus in my 91 SS truck and love it. I would like to switch over if it would not be too much of a problem. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Thanks for the info, after it is hooked up does the steering wheel controls work like stock or did you have to get an adapter for that too? What about the antenna, do you have to swap it out, is the whole swap easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So the answer to the original question is no? I am interested too, but I don't want to have to buy $500-$1000 worth of audio equipment.

greg2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I have found all of the equipment needed for around $175.00. The 1st piece was at Soundgate for around $120 and the (Kenwood SR902) Sirus receiver box with all the wires and antenna on ebay for $55 (can't beat that). Thanks for all the help Jason and everyone else that helped. I plan on hooking everything up in about 1 to 2 weeks and will keep you informed.

Thanks Dave <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like I said, you need and antenna, tuner box and adapter. About $200-250 w/o install. Look around, great deals are out there to get it cheeper. Edit - A quick search leads me to believe SoundGate is still the only manufacturer to integrate the control of Sirius Sat Radio on a Factory GM radio. Keep looking for the Kenwood SR-902 tuner box, as it's the only one that works and is out of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker8 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Will the soundgate adapter work with the new Kenwood Sirius Tuner, SIR-KEN1? I would like to add it immeadiatly. Also, i don't have factory XM, it will still work with the factory radio though, right? And how is it scrolling through the Sirius channels, what options do you have as far as controlling the Sirius part, can you scan via category, can you listen while you scroll, stuff like that. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a quick call to Soundgate will confirm wether or not the SIR-KEN1 will or not. As for not having factory XM, no I don't believe this piece will work. It was for XM equiped radios only. You will need a Aux input adapter and a Tuner module I believe. This will only give you the better sound quality through the radio, but won't tune stations or give data on the radio screen.

In fact that is the tuner they recommended for their adaptor. I bought the soungate box else where for 85.00 shipped, and got the SIR-KEN1 off of ebay for 70.00 shipped.

Run a search the soundgate can be had for much less than thier web sites price. Brand new kenwood sir-ken1 on ebay for $50. Well worth it to get Sirius.
