anybady got sirius satelite radios

[93_E_350]

I installed the Sirius adapter today and it works great. The volume is about 1/3 louder than the small wire antenna that the receiver came with. It just plugs into the back of the Sirius receiver cradle so you can unplug the unit and move it to another vehicle just as easy as ever just plug in the small antenna wire that came with the unit. The wire that plugs into the receiver and runs to the antenna switch box is 18+ feet long and the antenna wire that plugs into the back of the radio is about a foot long. I like it Total with shipping was 25 bucks.

Sweet My factory truck antenna wire is busted so I don't have to worry about any "outside" interference. Sat radio isn't as loud as I would like but with no amps or anything it does ok. I'm glad the adaptor worked for you.

This is a dumb question, but does the Sirrius tell you the time? Thing I hate about the factory 87' radio, is you cannot get the clock to display constantly. Maybe if I get a Sirrius, that will kill another bird with that stone.

Mel, time, channel number and name, name of the artist, and song.

I just pulled a Sirrus unit out of a Trailblazer that I purchased at the auction for someone, It got removed before the SUV was sold. Something else to install in Big Ed,..!

russ if you go into settings there is an output level control. mine (Sprotster R) was turned down from the factory. i turned it up full blast and it helped a lot with the low volume problem. it's almost as loud as the commercials on regular radio now

mel it depends. the cheap units do not tell time. my buddy has the cheapo and it's just a scrolling LED marquis.

nicer units are an LCD screen that does tell time along with the other stuff russ mentioned.

Rob, I have it turned up. It's not that its too low, I just enjoy listening to certain channels louder than any comericial radio

clouds are fine. deep valleys with dense tree cover or overpasses will kill the signal. its not bad though. except the antenna does have to be outside.

 

[93_E_350]

I got my antenna on the dash. It would probably be better outside but I don't want to hard mount it. It's snowing like a Mother here and the unit picks up fine. There are times when you may lose the signal but that only happens once in a great while.

 

[69oiler]

my antenna has a magnet. only problem is it scuffs the paint a little where it's mounted. it seems to be heated too because snow and ice are always melted on it

Thanks guys. I'm still debating what I want to do with the sound system in the Moosestang. It sucks pretty bad.
