Sirius Car HookUp Help, HELP_ME by lukedatruth
Feb 16, 2009 (1:54 pm)

I just recently hooked up my Sirius Stilleto 100 into my Toyota Corolla. I used the FM adapter and the hardwire hookup kit. My PROBLEM is that only the left side of my car speakers work with the Sirius Satellite on, when regular terrestrial radio on all speakers work. I went and traced all the hook ups which there are only a couple, everything seems to be hooked up right? Can someone PLEASE help figure out what it is I done wrong, Please!

why did you hardwire it? when i used a car kit, all i did was plug it into the power thing that looks like a cigaretter lighter, and got the antenna on the roof, and eazy peezy that was it.
 
don't do the hard wire.

I hardwired it because its alot better not having wires and that 12 volt plug sticking out. It was a kit that I bought from sirius, that has nothing to do with the problem, thanks though.

perhaps you should hook it up without the hard wire and then see if you get sound out of both speakers-- if you do, then it's a hardwire problem.

Liberty to lend Sirius $530 million, get 40% stake
 
February 17, 2009 - 9:45 am ET
 
NEW YORK (Reuters) -- John Malone's Liberty Media Corp. has agreed to lend $530 million to Sirius XM Radio Inc. in exchange for a 40 percent equity stake, saving the satellite radio provider from possible bankruptcy and sending its shares up 100 percent.
 
The deal also helps Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin fend off a potential takeover bid by Charles Ergen's EchoStar Corp., which has purchased hundreds of millions of Sirius's total debt of about $3.25 billion.

So I guess they're not going bye-bye. But all is not that pretty, Liberty also owns a controlling share of DirecTV, one of the companies that was previously looking to take over Sirius. And that "doubling of Sirius' stock price" brings it up to a whopping $0.21 per share. :-/

That is good I think. I really liked XM when I had it in the GMC. I would like it when I get around to doing some cross country traveling. When ever that happens. I drive so little locally that it is a waste of money.

XM renewal by upstatedoc

Just as an FYI, my subscription was up for "auto renewal" March 8th at the whopping price of $145 for the year. I called and said I wanted to cancel and the operator asked why, I said I can't afford it. She said I could renew for the promotional price of $77/year ( which I have been paying for the last 3 years) and I said yes. This price is available to everyone, you just have to ask for it. Heck, tell 'em I sent you!

2005 Cobalt XM Radio by spartan3c79

This question may already be on the forum but i want to ask specifically.
 
I have a 2005 Cobalt that i bought new and it has the XM radio built in, no additional accessories or box that you plug in, its set into my *bands* button selections.
 
My radio has been damaged and i can no longer use it. What i would like to know is:
 
Can i buy an aftermarket radio like the one i have, where the xm is already built in the deck where i can just call in the radio ID and swap my account to that radio.
 
OR do i have to buy an XM ready radio and still buy a box to tune it? It doesnt seem to make much sense since the xm box runs through a radio station anyway.
 
My car is already equipped with an XM antenna and wverything since it was like that when i got it. Is the satellite receiver built into the deck, or is it something built inside my dash that the radio i have hooks up to. I havent taken it apart yet to find out.
 
Thank you for any help

Crutchfield offers many after market car sound systems and could probably answer that question.
