Adding Sirius? Please help!

Has anyone had luck using the 999U9-NV004 Sirius tuner for a 2006+ install for the Bose 6 disk w/o Nav? The prewired plug fit and I am getting the stations, but the display only reads "Antenna". I posted in the Audio section, but no answers yet. I know the 999U9-AS004 is the correct tuner, but I already have the 999U9-NV004. Not sure if the tuner is bad, or if I need to bite the bullet and get the 999U9-AS004. Any help is most appreciated. I have searched everywhere and no answers.

I’m interested in this as well,
I wend to Ardmore Nissan and Devon Nissan and both of them told me that I can’t add XM or Sirius. I think this is BS.
I have 07 Bose 6 CD with out the Nav.

Check on the inside door frame of the driver door. Mine has a sticker saying that it is prewired. If you have the SAT button on the stereo you should be pre-wired.

On your tuner, does it have two inputs for an antenna next to each other? Like a white and green one that look identical to each other?

Yes. It had a mustard yellow and green inpit for the antenna. The antenna I got had the same mustard plug color and they fit together like a glove. I did try on the green, but it didn't seem to want to fit, so I didn't try to force. I think the 999U9-AS004 only has one. Directions did show a splitter, do you think that might take care of the problem?

yes that is your problem, you need a splitter. I had the exact same problem, and actaully got my splitter in the mail today and just installed it, and now it works perfect. So order a antenna splitter from grubbs, they ship fast too.

So does my stereo needs that SAT button or not ? I really want XM and I don’t want the after market stuff, but two Nissan dealers told that I cant have it, if I don’t have the SAT button,

I did call Sirius. Mine works as well, but the screen shows "Antenna" instead of name, channel or title. I just want to get the display working as well.

get and install the splitter and it wont say antenna anymore. Mine said antenna also, then installed the splitter and now it shows the name of the channel, band, or song, which ever you prefer. Its saying antenna now because the tuner is sensing the antenna isnt hooked up correctly.

didn't notice you didn't have a splitter. I'm surprised it even worked without one.

good to hear it's working. surprised sirius didn't mention the splitter to you.
