XM/Sirius Question - GoFuckYourself.com

If you bought a car that only had XM as an option can you switch a reciever and software in a factory radio to receive Sirius instead?

Yes, from what I hear, there's parts that make it very easy to switch over. You might wanna contact one of the local installers to be sure that they can for your model.

I had a portable Sirius unit in my old car. I don't want to have portable again. The manufacturer of my car now only deals with XM.

I've only had the car for two days and I already dislike XM as compared to Sirius. I never really liked XM.

Both my car and my wife's are GM's... both had XM's, and we switched both to Sirius. No comparison in my opinion.

I had an XM top of the line portable reciever with a years free service. It even had a built in antannae and rechargable battery. Definitely the shit for an XM reciever. I sold it for $225 bucks for the whole package and service and went Sirius. Heard enuff XM on DirecTv to know thats not what I wanted. Cant wait til I can afford a a car to put a car kit in.

Hey Steve, you can still buy the part to hook up and convert that XM reciever to a Sirius. You won't have to change your deck or add in a portable unit. As a matter of fact, Howard was just talking about the situation about GM cars being sold with XM radios, that it's very easy to convert.

The car I have is a Honda. Does anyone know where you can buy the hardware and how much it costs?

So far it's all heresay and rumors as to be able to convert a car built for XM to Sirius.
