I am planning on getting XM Satellite radio installed in my Max but am uncertain on the best setup or installation. Does anyone have any of these units installed and their Max? Can you provide pictures and possibly install instructions?

Thanks!

 

I have Sirius. I've had it since Feb of this year.

I have Sirius as well. This is where I mounted my controller:

 

It's easier to buy a HU that is XM or Sirius capable, Alpine or Kenwood. Then all you need is the receiver, which can be under the seat or in the trunk, and the antenna. I have an Alpine CDA-9813....XM coming for christmas

 

check my homepage...page 2

XM on xm ready HU installed. its not too hard if your comfortable about removing your dash and running wires

 

Sirius antenna is on the Rear deck. The FM modulator controller is velcroed above the sunglass holder... cable goes above & behind the edge of the headliner all the way down the A-pillar into the glovebox. That's where I have my tuner.

Quick Question. I'm new to this and plan on installing XM radio via the SkyFi this xmas. Where is the A pillar and how did you run the wire down it?

 

A pillar is between the windshield and doors. There are a couple of how-tos addressing A pillar removal. Good Luck and lets see some pics when you are done. better yet take some picks and do a how-to.

 

The A-pillar is the pice where the tweeter is located. Pry it from the top & work your way down... You don't have to remove it all the way. You can easily squeeze the cable through the rubber edge.

I have XM on an Alpine XM ready deck. I love it, but I think that the programming on Sirius is better. I did the installs on all the VP's of XM so they gave me a dealer account unit. If I was paying, I would have gone with Sirius. Once you get satelite radio of any kind, you will never listen to AM/FM again.

 

I stopped listening to FM/AM long before I got the XM. XM rocks!!! Premier 930 HU/12 disc changer and xm tuner in trunk/JL 12w6/2 Hifonics amps/JL separates front, coaxials rear/dynamat/audio control bass processor. Sounds good but I need more dynamat to eliminate rattles.

 

Could you provide me with some instructions on how you installed it please. I am planning on getting the same unit for my 1997 Max. GLE and would like some info on install.

Thanks. Email = gzgonzalez@firstam.com

 

an old pic....

 

I hae Sirius. Install was a piece of cake, but then again, I have some install experience. Receiver is mounted on back of rear seat.

 

It's the GXE with a custom trim panel done by a car audio shop. I didn't like the gap between the pocket and the radio.

 

Thanks... I should've searched:

I also stopped listening to FM once I got Sirius . . . I've had it for two months, and it's awesome. Once in a while I'll pop in a CD for my favorite songs, but that's it. Popping in CD's will also cease once I get my Music Keg

 

you know whats dumb? After I got XM I listened to only that and never touched FM for several MONTHS, then out of curiosity I switched it back to FM to hear all the new songs that came out but guess what? They are still playing the same old shyt! FM here is a joke

 

I got my Panasonic Sirius finally installed. A lot of work but well worth it!
