jainla Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 http://www.vaistech.com From what I've read pretty much identical to the factory sat setup. You'll need some kind of Sirius/XM receiver though (which I think they sell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Young Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I put the factory XM unit in my 2006 about 8 years ago and generally have no problem with reception, unless I'm in a long tunnel or have either a large hill to the south or thick trees overhead. The factory option radio which integrates with the nav system was the original XM design, with 2 antenna leads and apparently is no longer available. After the XM system had been up for a while, they realized they could take the performance hit and combine antennas for the satellite and ground repeaters. While that would hit overpass performance the more modern antennas are generally better and smaller. I have found performance to be just fine with my XM antenna on the rear package shelf, instead of being permanently mounted on the trunk. Attached are the installation instructions for the Sirius and XM radios, but I've never actually seen an installed Sirius system.
