Aftermarket sirius tuner
Sorry, now that I've re-read it, my last post wasn't very clear. To get Sirius you need a Sirius ready/capable H/U, a matching brand Sirius controller (box) and a Sirius antenna. The factory box will not work with an aftermarket H/U. I replaced the factory H/U and controller, but was able to re-use the factory antenna with an aftermarket box without an adapter.
I read a thread a while ago on here where a guy gave directions for wiring in the factory sat box to an aftermarket radio, not sure, but I believe it was for pre 06 (which is different). It involved cutting into the harness and wiring to indiviual speakers. It sounded like it would work, but wouldn't have the features of a box and seemed a lot easier to me to simply spend the $80-$100 for the aftermarket box and it's a real easy install.
