I will, we have a trip planned next week. We will be heading to Cedar Point Amusement park and then to Norwalk ohio for the Night Of Fire (Drag Racing). This should test it pretty good.

 

Not to turn this into a Howard thread but you obviously have never listened. I don't remember him putting a gun to anyones head.

 

XM/Sirius released this informationyesterday about their new program line-up. If yousearch around their websites, you'llfind a little more explanation.

At any rate, if you want to go A La Carte, you'll need to replace your existing tuner with a new one that works on both services. This isbad newsfor those that want Stern + MLB + NFL for example.

Another mystery is what is considered aPremium or Ultra-Premiumchannel package.

At any rate, this is what they are saying now:

I love Howard. Funny *** show. If you don't like it...you can always change the channel!

 

Thanks for the insight about yourself.[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

 

Had the Gm Sirius Connect installed Friday, along with the antenna that allows you to use the Factory installed Xm antenna.I have to say so far it seems to be working very well. The installers had some issues and were going to use the Sirius antenna, however, they were able to get it to finally work.

 

Do you know what their problem was and how they worked around it?
That might help me when I do this.

 

I attempted to install a SIR-GM1 in my 07 H3 (XM equipped, 6CD radio model) and there was a GM-LAN compatibility issue --the SIR-GM1 only works with the prior BUS/version.. apparently some 07's still have the non-LAN wiring that will work, where others have the new LAN wiring..

I've read somewhere that if the radio has a CAT button, than it means that it's a newer LAN version.. not sure if this is correct, but my radio does have a CAT button and was not compatible with the SIR-GM1 tuner..

I went with a Sirius Starbase tuner that is similar to a Sportster type install except that the main receiver installs in the dash, leaving a smaller display controller that you can place out of the way if desired..

I also utilized the existing XM antenna with a splitter allowing for both XM or Sirius connectivity(http://www.logjamelectronics.com/terksirsp.html) ..But I did notice poor reception using the XM antenna for Sirius.. It works, but cuts out more often than another system I have with the Sirius antenna..

I'm told the new LAN compatible units should be out soon, but still have not seen/heard of one..

 

That a big help Jnohnny!! Save me a lot of grief. I wonder if Sirius has anything planned in the way of an update to include the '07.

 

Question: Is it tue that the base of the OnStar antenna is actually the XM radio antenna?
