If your looking for a factory looking setup, take a peak at the uconnect system that uses the OEM mirror. I added the Mopar Sirius Sat to my REC NAV and am thinking about the uconnect w/mirror.

I went with Sirius because it came with my 06 Magnum SRT. Now that they merged you can get most channels that both offer -- I believe there are additional charges for this service. :dontknow: But, they both offer basically the same programming lineup and Sirius has Howard Stern -- on two channels

i have the uconnect system and i dont like it ,,,works great BUT,when driving down the road you hear a motor buzz in the radio ,with key on and motor not running its fine ,,does the same thing when i use the ipod connection or the aux connection ,that faint buzz drives me nuts on a long drive ,,when i just use radio or cd i dont hear it ,if i had it all over to do again i would go with an aftermarket setup with better quality and i may still do it

hmmm, how much did it cost u to get uconect with the mirror and sirius in the nav?? thats kinda what im looking for. like the srt8gc's have

They are now both the same... I like the units Sirus offers though they look cleaner and better in the truck

no buzz in mine either, i added u-connect with the mirror mic. be prepared for a lot of work and a lot of $$$$... you need to buy a factory dash harness with the u-connect option. the mirror and the module.
here's the thread on the install and a list of parts needed. http://www.vtcoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17063

Yeah that is a great set-up....but the one in his link is the one I got.
The other one (yours) would have tied the
truck up in the shop for more than a day..... :argh:

well let me clear something ,,the only buzz i get is when i use the ipod or the aux plug for mp3,s,,the rest works fine ,,,and its vary minor my wife says she can hardly hear it,,i guess i have sensitive ears

XM and Sirius are different. It is true that they share SOME channels but they are still different. First. XM is designed mainly for music. Sirius has less music but alot (most) of the sports channels as well as Howard Stern. Now you can pay more ($6) and get some of the Xm or Sirius channels with the subscription to the other.

I wanted XM (like their music channels better) so I went with this setup (see boxes) It works great but I cannot see the Channel Name on my screen. Only the number. But it comes in static free.

 

[lukedovichak]

i need the sirius version of that

Then all you have to do is instead of the box on the right (XM Tuner) just buy a Sirius one.
