edit: Links to Crutchfield is only for information, you're getting the stuff from Sirius.

 

Thanks for the info. Recently, I've been looking at getting XM or Sirius but I didn't want to flip for the hardware and the subscripiton until later on. With the hardware being free, I think I'm going to jump on this while I still have the chance.

 

Has anyone mounted the receiver in a 5th gen with stock radio? Where did you place it?

 

This was such a good deal but when I called today they said the pffer expired. I was so mad. Oh well my fault for sleeping on it.

 

I called and left a message to call me back. Where did the orgional info come from?

 

Update. I just called, and they are sending me the equipment within 4 to 6 weeks!!!

 

I just left my number with them to call me back.

 

I just got in on the deal too.

 

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

4-6 weeks for delivery...............oh yea..........sat radio here we come.....kiss my rear wysp

Its going till the said equipment is gone...or the 31st

 

I tried to get my manager in on the deal and he thinks its a hoax.

 

Well, they called me back. My gear should arrive between 1/24 and 2/7

 

I'm in baby!! 4-6 weeks and then satellite radio here we come!!

Thanks for the tip soundmike!

 

Well, I called Sirius. I called their customer service line and gave them all the info. The offer is legit. It is for their "Retail Partners." Calling that number and giving that code is kind of an "inside" promotion.

IT IS NOT A HOAX.

I'm going to show this to him.

 

My stuff is on the way as well.

 

Haha.....

Sirius.........maxima.org owns joo!!

Thanks soundmike!

 

More info: If you activate your service over the phone, the cost is $15. If you activate via the Sirius website, the fee is only $5.

Its getting cheaper by the minute!

 

W00T!!! Now I am in too!

now i just need to find a way to hack the cable from the tuner into a pair of rca's for my HU line input......

 

I don't think you may have to do anything like that, I hope. I have a installer I let do my work so I may let him handle it.

 

Yup I called and tried again the stuff is on it's way!!!!! I am so psyched. Thanks for the tip

 

You can do it either way. The simpler way is just to use the FM modulator but there are still some wiring involved IIRC. Splicing some wires so you can use your HeadUnit's RCA inputs just gives you a cleaner signal.

 

yeah, i found info on the pinout of the cables used, so i know which pins to tap into, but not which wires, so i may not splice any wires, just use some wire wrapping on the din connector, i will let you guys know how it goes when i get mine and if you want i can post a tutorial, i dont think it will be too hard.

 

I called them yesterday & twice today... and nothing.

They haven't returned my call. I even left a message with the promotion code.

Is there any way I can reach them at another number?... I don't want to miss-out on this offer!

Thanks,
G

 

soundmike thanks for the heads up, my set is on the way.


02MaXiMa_GLE: I did the same thing at first and they never called me back. I just kept trying until I finally got a hold of them.

 

THANKS GUYS!...

I called them again today & she said the offer had expired. Then I mentioned that I had called before & she said, oh... ok were you unable to get through?... I told her that I left 4-messages & she recognized my name! She signed me up & said they are getting back to everyone that called & left a message.

For those of you that would like to get in on this deal, you can mention that "You tried getting through, but the no one would pickup on the other end... not even the answering machine" They will probably sign you up, through the end of this week - I'd imagine. Just say that your friend installs Sirius equipment & gave you the promotion code.

oh sweet. i'ma try it on monday.. crap... i missed out..

 

This 4 to 6 week crap tho..............wonder when it will be here........im ready to throw my bose out the window

 

wooHOooOOoo i got my order placed today.. i love u sound mike =D

 

The guy finally called me back on the 3rd of January. He was like "we are calling back all people who left messages before the end of the year". They got my info, and are sending me the unit. He said 4-6 weeks, but didn't say anything about having to activate it before the end of January. I guess we'll see.

Anyway, thanks soundmike. Once again, maxima.org ownz the Sirius/Kenwood deal.

 

What about me?... I'm the one who told you to call, even though the offer is over... No one ever loves poor old me...

G

 

Whoever gets theirs first, be sure and post about it

ooOops thanx a bunch to u too for the advice about calling in after the deadline.. much love to u too

 

Any of you guys figure out where you are going to mount the faceplate? I am open for many suggestions!

 

Hey I am loved... after all!

As far as mounting it... I was thinking left side of steering column, where I can easily change stations, while driving. But now I think it's a dumb idea. Maybe I can velcro it above the mirror or something?... anyone with any cool suggestions?...

I remember reading a thread not too long ago that he had the controller mounted where his sunglasses holder was. He has not posted any pics of it though.

Custom Mount Thread

 

This may be dumb but if I have a Sirius ready receiver then can't I just run it through that or will I have to run the fm modulated unit?
