Question for all??? I am going to install my grubbs tuner kit and antenna today...1. Grubbs does not provide the brackets and indicate that the double sided foam tape works fine - this makes me nervous, anyone with experience? 2. Grubbs also recommended installing the antenna to sit on the trunk lid - anyone have the antenna there? Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

1999 Max GLE / Stock Radio / Sirius Unit Question
All,
I have a 1999 Max gle with the standard Bose system (made by clarion I think) I also have an XACT visor Sirius reciever, and the FM transmitter is quite a pain. I can never find a station that has no interference in my area.
My question is: Does the std radio that I have in my car have any inputs so that I could hook it up directly? It would be great to know that before I take apart the dash looking for something (that may or may not be there).
Thanks in advance for any help
Dean

I saw Kams post saying the Grubs tuner kit comes with Sirius mini antenna....Anybody know anything about this?
...If true. do I need the extra $40 anetnna or will this work for me?
Also, is the first 3 month trial free as stated on Grubs website?

Just a heads up for anyone looking at the PAC interface. I was under the impression that it would give me the same song, artist, and title info that the factory receiver does but all that shows up on my screen is SIR-001 no matter what station I am on. The following email I received from PAC's support confirms this:
"The AAI-NIS2 has nothing to do with the display of the aftermarket Sirius receiver. It will only give you 2 audio inputs. It will display will SR -1 for auxiliary input 1 and SR – 2 for auxiliary input 2. The channel will not change. If that is a feature that you want, you will need to get a factory satellite unit. "
Sorry for any confusion on this. If I would have known this was the case I would have just hardwired the unit instead.

Hey all, I just finished a hardwire install of XM radio in my 97 Max. Here are some pics. I have my antenna installed on the roof right in front of the sunroof.

I am bout to add Xm radio. I have been wanting satilite radio for soooo long. I think I am finally about to get it. XM is the way to go for me, they got lots more dance / EDM stations. Also more jazz and unconvential type stations.

I'm assuming you are talking to me. No, the antenna is black. It may just look gray in the photo for some reason but its definitely black. I was going to mount it on the trunk and you can't tell any color difference from the paint.

Anyway, I guess its up to you...they are almost the same other than the Hip-Hop and R&B stations and Howard Stern.

the auxiliary interfaces only give you a port behind the radio this works for some 99 to 2002 and you get 2 ports for the 2003 to 2006 vehicles but there is not any data or text send to the radios you can use this aux interfaces to input audio from xm radio ipod or any mp3 player or audio source here is the link to some of theinterfaces and the link to the instructions for new radios with sat buttons

That could be changed though now. XM also had a better selection of dance/club music. I don't know if you are into sports at all but I'm a baseball fan and XM has ALL the games. Sirius is cool with NBA and NFL but those sports aren't as radio friendly to me. I did like listening to all the Knicks games when I had a chance to sample Sirius. Football is better when watched on TV.

i'm a huge baseball fan and that was really the only sticking point for xm and me as i thought the music content of sat. radio would be the same. i mostly listen to to hip hop & house music so if what you're saying is true then xm would definetly be the one for me. sure there's howard and all that other stuff, but i'm not THAT much of a fan to get it just for that. do you know if xm has a channel devoted to baseball 24/7 or do they just give you coverage of games?
more info would be huge
thanks

You can go here and find out all the info about MLB on XM:

They do have a 24/7 baseball channel in addition to playing ALL the games. They also "replay" some of the games from the day before. Basically, if you are a baseball fan you will be happy with XM. I know I am and its only Spring Training.
