No idea. Only know that I'm the only one posting anywhere yet....even on the Boss dedicated sites. With the delays and crazy ADM's I wouldn't doubt it though! I feel for everyone that's waiting and it would be nice to have someone to compare notes with.

Apparently there is an adhesive issues where they are bubbling up in spots. Someone on another Boss forum posted Bosses wouldn't be shipping until May because of having to be re-striped. I hope that isn't the case.

"Good News! Just got off the phone with a Ford customer service rep. They assured me that the 2013 Boss will have a Sirius radio as part of the Sync radio. They indicated there will probably some type of introductory service where you receive 2 or 3 months of Sirius and then would have to subscribe subsequent to the initial service period. Essentially this means no iSimple device, iPhone, or portable Sirius radio necessary! I hope this guy is correct."

My car does NOT have Sirus...it has Sync. I looked hard through all Ford marketing material and car specs and nowhere is Sirus listed. There is a button for it but pressing it yields "Not Installed".

The easiest thing to do is take a picture of your trunk lid so that people can see their is no satellite antenna!

I think you're right! :-)

Hey, the radio may very will be capable with the addition of some hardware and antenna, I have no special info, but it or sure doesn't work as shipped and who ever is telling people this needs to stop.

My guess not knowing anything at all about "sync" is that it would be a type of add on to "sync" is that a possibility? It appears that while it might not be a sirrus radio, that it has sirrus capability with "sync" or else why would they bother to mention it? If it says "not installed" than my 15 yrs in the electronics field tells me that the opposite of that would be an ability to say "installed" by adding a app or hardware package of some type but the radio would have sirrus capability. Call your dealer.

Yes but you have to add it on at your expense. The 2012's were the same.

I had one that sat in the well where the windsheild sits. There are other places to hide them as they are so small.

I've had factory Sirius in my 2010 GT500, 2010 SHO, 2011 Focus, 2011 GT500, and 2012 Focus. If you've ever been around a Mustang from 2010+ they have the Satellite attenna on the trunk like this green 2013. Now you can clearly see IT'S NOT ON THE BOSS! Try Google sometime, it's pretty awesome.

Yep my 2012 Boss 302 has a Sirius button on the dash just like the 2013's. Neither has Sirius hardware installed.

I showing you the dome antenna on the back of a Satellite equipped Mustang. The same dome antenna they've been using since at least the 2010 model year! What else do you need??????

Oh and here are pics of some of the cars I've owned. Which have Sirius from the factory.

you sir are correct...except ford puts them on the trunk in a mustang, hyundai has them on the rear roof with a shark fin. and all toyota trucks have them on the d/s on the roof near the a pillar. So whats your point? oems install them on the same place on EVERY factory install on a particular model. Aftermarket is not in this discussion...and yes my 2012 Boss had the button and yet SURPRISINGLY it didnt work LOL

The antenna can NOT be put anywhere. They need line of sight. Anyone that has one knows you lose reception under overpasses. End of subject
