Radio

Would it be cool to set up Sirius XM radio in my Charger? Sure... but how does it affect the stock system?  Is there anything that can blow the plan sky high?

I got a portable sirius in my vehicles. Plugs into the cig lighter . I enjoy it.  I really don't think you will have a hard time doing an upgrade radio.

Well I was going to go with a permanent system.  If I go with that my worry is splicing the pristine wiring harness.

Sirius is the best thing to ever happen to Music. I have Sirius in my pickup and now I can't even hardly listen to the free radio stations. I know that sounds snobby but there is no commercials, no annoying DJs who blab about crap you don't care about and they don't hardly repeat songs. I have very rarely heard the same song twice in one day, whereas on free stations I can listen to one station for 30 minutes at a time for only 3 times a week and hear the same song during each session. Annoying as hell.

I know what you mean.  I fully understand what you mean about the free stations.  The thing I am looking for is if I do the install myself will I have to alter any stock components or change anything?

I just turn my stock radio on an open fm frequency that has no traffic on it. And plug it in the cig ligher for power, then a magnetic antenna comes with it. No wires involed. Or you can buy a radio with sat on it and build a harnes real easy for installation with out cutting things up

OH I misunderstood you. I know on my truck there is an inline antenna connection that plugs in between the antenna cable and the radio. In other words you plug the sirius antenna connection directly into radio and the regular antenna cable plugs into the back of the sirius piece. I don't know what the connection is on your radio but if it's the same it will work. That thing works by over-riding the antenna signal and "broadcasts" the sirius signal directly into the radio. I also know they make radios that look like original radios but have connections for Ipods and other new devices.

I got an R21 code radio just for this reason.

I still have my old Sportster 2 and use the line out to antenna connector.  Works good and most of the time I get the stereo signal now where as some times it would transmit in mono if I just used the Sportsters transmitter.

[lemming303]

Yeah thats the piece I was talking about.

[426HemiCharger]

I was thinking eith on the deck filler panel or the back end of the roof to mount the antenna.
