Yeah... so two questions...

1.) Can we ever expect a kit or harness to allow our steering wheel controls to work with an aftermarket equipment (Either a HeadUnit or Sirius (esp Sirius))

2.) Is there anyway to convert the pre-installed xm to sirius, I know this has been discussed before, but has this changed?

Thanks,
Rich

 

1.) its called a SWIX, costs about $65, most Tweeter, Etc.'s have them or Hi Fi Buys, maybe even eBay, but make sure its new and not used. I most recently installed one on my boss's Olds Aurora for use with an Alpine head unit.

2.) not that i am aware of

 

So how do that thing work? Do you know? I looks like it learns the various signals from the steering controls and sends them out over-the-air via infra red...

Am I close?

Could you give some more details?

Thanks,
Rich

 

i also want to know more about them

I wonder if there is a way we can retain the existing setup of the steering wheel controls... and just at support for a sirius unit...

IE... Tune Up / Tune Down... and thats about it... maybe preset, but that would be pushing it...

I love the stock sound system and will not be chaning it anytime soon... I just want sirius over xm.

it sends the signals via an infrared blaster to your headunit

 

How about adding this question to the mix as well..
WILL GM EVER RELEASE THE FREAKING STAGE KITS SOME TIME THIS CENTURY????
AND WTF WILL THE PRICE BE???
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS PLEASE COMMENT

 

how about posting in the appropriate thread? or trying a search? this is about car audio...not stage kits...

 

?

How bout posting to the correct sub-forum?

Stage Kits have nothing to do with Audio...

And to anwser you... no one knows.
