3. Sirius CHannel NUMBER (I.E. SR CH-022)
4. Sirius CHannel NAME (I.E. First Wave)
Here's a quick example movie (30 sec, 1 mb)

you forgot:
simply press the Audio button once to display ALL
but it must be pressed everytime you turn on SAT. one of 9Nails settings will remain as default.
and ur vid doesn't work (atleast on my box) only makes an error

Not on Navi. I can only display HVAC or Audio in that narrow little section of the screen. In some cases, it's not enough to fit song titles or what ever. I'd love to display all the info! That's probably what you mean when you said I forgot the ALL display setting. But I guess I don't have that option! Weird.

Yes, you do need a receiver. It gets hooked up in the trunk. Get it from Grubbs. You can install it yourself if you know how to do that sort of thing. My deal charged me $75 to install it.

You could always call Grubbs Parts Dept at 817.318.4113 if nobody else has the answer for the '06 model. That's a great price, too, at Grubbs -- even cheaper than it was for me 7 months ago. Don't forget, you will need to get the antenna, too.
I wonder why they would have different radios? As long as there is the SAT button on the radio and it's pre-wired, isn't that what you need? Like my car didn't come with the SAT radio, but it was pre-wired and I had the SAT button. I just got the receiver and then had it hooked up.

hi jane
thanks for the quick reply
i just need the receiver and not the antennae?
does it matter what type of service it is i subscribe to (sirius or xm?) i was leaning towards sirius.
when you had it installed, did the data from the song playing appear on your stock radio?
thanks for the quick reply

hmmmm
that's a lot of good info Joe, that's x2 you've answered my question now
thanks
i'm hearing from everyone in this forum that the price for that receiver is a good deal........i'll see about making the purchase and then having circuit city install all the equipment, they said they'll do it for $75
anyone else want to give their $0.02, they're more than welcome

You might want to consider a plug and play unit with a PAC AAI-NIS2 adapter. This will give you song information on your screen and allow you to take the plug and play into the house to enjoy satellite on your home stereo.

Spoke to Grubbs
I am new to the forum, and the knowledge sharing here is unbelievable...anyway, I just bought an 04 Maxima SE (upgraded from a 98 SE w/ a sportster unit) and I want to go the OEM route after reading all of these posts...so I called Grubbs today to see if they knew whether I was "pre-wired". The Grubbs guy told me that if the Last 6 Digits of your VIN is 935089 or later you are definitely "pre-wired" and all you need is the Tuner and Antenna, if not, you could still be pre-wired, but there is no guarantee. I do not fall into that VIN range but am going to check the trunk out this weekend to see if I am still pre-wired...just wanted to pass this info along and also curious if anyone else is out of the range but was pre-wired - I am hoping I am!!

"The AAI-NIS2 works with XM/Sirius Satellite ready Infiniti and Nissan factory radios. It allows audio from devices like Apple's iPod™, VCP, MP3 players, Portable CD players, DVD players or aftermarket satellite receivers to play through the stock stereo system. It has two auxiliary inputs which are selected by the SAT/Radio button on face of radio." That's from the PAC website.
Basically a connector to connect an external input to SAT button in our Maxima.

if i use it for ipod, where does the ipod connect to. there would have to be a cable running from the stereo to the ipod. then i would be back with the mess i have with the cassette adapter and all of it's wires. Unless i got it wrong and there is another solution. lemme know
thanks

I just bought my PAC AAI-NIS, so I don't have any details right now and I don't use the satellite radio either. Either way, there is always wires unless you use the teribble FM modulator. It depends how you hide the wires to make it look good. I am sure some people here have done the IPOD connection.

Question for all... I have read through this link and regret that I had not sooner. I recently had a Sirius Starbase installed in my 04 SE. I'm not sure if my car was pre-wired or not. I am currently running it through an FM station and it sounds like total sh*t. If I was to purchase a "PAC AAI-NIS" adapter.. would I be able to run a pair or RCAs out of the satelite receiver into the back of the OEM head unit? Please advise if this is doable and if it will improve sound quality. Thanks in advance for anyone's response.

My real problem is my front speakers get a lot of static in them from the sat but not the radio. It is mainly the front left. Is there something wrong from the install or is there a speaker issue? thanks all.

No, I"ve got an '04 and it's pre-wired. It depends on the VIN number. I think somewhere back up in this thread someone posted the VIN number where they started the pre-wiring.

Install requirements
I've read this entire thread an still confused! I have an 04 SL prewired and trying to figure out what I need to order for Sirius install. If I order the Grubbs tuner kit does it have everything I need (I think this was stated in one post) or do I need addiitonal antenna? splitter?
Also...can I do inside window mount antenna...anyone have any experience with reception in this configuration?
Thanks

i called grubbs to confirm with them what it is i'll be needing for my car. My max is pre wired for sat radio, so if yours is too, then all you will need is the receiver and antenna(sold seperately,but grubbs sells that too) i'd check to see if your model is pre-wired for sat radio, i thought it was only for 2005 SL and up but miss jane knows her stuff about this area, so i'd go with her on that.
(btw- missjane, you said your dealership did the install for $75, how long did it take?)
as far is inside window mount antenna, i'm also interested in what type of reception you get from that, as i'm looking to do that too
anyone have experience/heard anything about it?
#116
I have an 04 se as well and it was prewired (there was a black sticky on the inside of the driver door saying it was prewired) I bought the tuner and antenna from grubbs and got the splitter from best buy. my dealer wanted to charge 375 (this is more then what the equip cost ) for installation and it only took me 30 min to do on my own. I mounted my antenna on the break light in the rear window. just ran the wire behind the seats. i've had no problems with reception at all. i did this with recommendations from what previous users on this thread have done.

2 questions for you salsita
1) what did you need a splitter for?
2) any of those maxima's with the rear light install come from NY area?
(i know that's a difficult question to ask, but if you can tell me at least which therad this request was in i'd appreciate it)
thx

This is a quote from CA, not sure about NY. I bought the splitter, but i don't remember if i used it or not, it was only 11 bucks but apparently you don't need it anymore, if you read through this thread, maybe the first page, it will explain.

now if only someone can confirm that it works in the rear window rather than mounting that bad boy outside
