Adding Satellite Radio?
Has anyone added satellite radio to their Boss radio/CD unit? I've noticed this is not a huge undertaking and can be seamlessly integrated into the existing radio unit. I presume the radio unit is pre-set to accept satellite radio -- correct? Welcome advice and comments. Cheers, Scott

Easy install, plugs right in, hardest part was finding a good place for the control box. I mounted antennae under the plastic cowl panel, works great. Still need to get a picture of that for a member here, just been to hot!

Got Sirius in mine as well.
I used this kit: http://www.tss-radio.com/products/is...ury-vehicles-1
Makes my iPod work as well with steering wheel controls.
Install was pretty easy and took about an hour.
Works great!

If I already had the SCC1 and antenna, wouldn't this kit work with a 2012 model?

No idea why it's cheaper.
After a month and a half I have had no issues at all, other than the extra 2 pounds in the car

Good, that's what I ordered, and some new front speakers. That will last until this is finally released, letting me put in my bluetooth and nav unit.

I'm not a big fan of the metra unit.

Does the cheaper one control an ipod?

iSimple Gateway +
The iSimple gateway is the interface between stuff and your oem head unit. The LCD screen even works. The SCC1 is the sirius radio that connects to the iSimple and does come with the antenna. The iPod controller is another cable ($15 on amazon) and it plugs into the iSimple as well. Factory radio works like normal, with Sirius and iPod control with this setupnfor me. Even the wheel controls work.
I will say iPod control sucks, you do a lot of scrolling looking for a specific song or artist, but for just plugging in and playing, it's fine.

Placement
I velcroed the gateway in the cavity behind the stock head unit; makes it easier to get in and out for cable installation.
The receiver is behind the passenger kick panel.
And I stuck the antenna on the rear deck between the speakers.
All cables run under the carpet for aesthetics.
My whole install took a few hours, but it was the first time I took the car apart. I'm faster now

Man, it sure would be nice to have some pictures or video of the installation. I am contemplating to install this due to the fact I am sick of corporate radio.
