Replying to: midgetluver (Mar 06, 2008 8:00 am) let's put it this way: why fuss over a luxury that is bolted to the car?? You can't take the audio system with you! Go buy a portable unit so your child can have it in the car and wherever else he/she wants. Having less "toys" in one's car makes one's car a lot less attractive to thieves as well.
#35 of 40 Getting Sirius by lhuffman75 May 04, 2008 (10:32 am)
I have a 2005 Malibu Maxx with XM radio. I would like to get Sirius radio. When I contacted Sirius to ask if this was possible, they told me to buy a SIR-GM1 radio tuner. I now have the tuner, but was wondering how to exactly install it. My husband is very mechanically inclined and has done a lot of work on cars so he is certain he can do it, but was wondering if anybody had already installed one of these tuners, and, if so, if you could give him any pointers.

Replying to: lhuffman75 (May 04, 2008 10:32 am) I installed one of those $20. add on tuners from Sirius (Stratus 4)using an FM modulator to my wifes standard FM radio in her Maxx. I believe you are talking about installing an add on module that works with the factory GM radio. I can't help on that, but you do know that Sirius and XM are approved to merge and provide a great majority of the same channels on both (keep whatever radio you have be it XM or Sirius). I don't know how soon this will happen, but before going though the exercise of swapping the radios I would check further as in the future the existing XM radio you already have may just have the Sirius channels you want.   http://www.siriusmerger.com/ Replies to this message: pao (May 06, 2008 3:34 am)

Replying to: comem47 (May 05, 2008 8:04 am) teh merger is still awaiting FCC approval...and it doesnt necessarily mean that existing OEM equipment will give you access to both services....as far as the tuner...yes.....you will have to replace the XM tuner with the Sirius one...Im not sure where the XM tuner is located....or if it is integrated into the headunit....you might have to get a parts manual...or ask a professional installer to attempt it...
#38 of 40 Unhook the Antenna in a 06 Malibu Maxx by morencyj Jun 19, 2008 (2:24 pm)
Hi, I've searched searched the forums (and the net), but couldn't find the answer. All I want to do is unhook the car antenna. Simple to do? Like in a Caravan for example, its right behing the glovebox..takes seconds. I have a Sirius radio and I want to unhook the antenna so the other channels don't interfere. I don't care that I will be missing regular FM/AM...I could never go back to terestrial radio.    Thanks! Replies to this message: rdesantis (Jul 19, 2008 7:21 pm)

Replying to: morencyj (Jun 19, 2008 2:24 pm) I have taken out several factory radios from 80's and 90's Gm cars. The antenna cable may be connected inbehind the radio tuner. In my experience after taking all the trim off around the radio on the dash board and pulling out the the radio tuner the antenna cable was attached inbehind the tuner box. If i am wrong, go to the parts counter at the dealer they will print off a diagram or go to a car stereo installation store for more detailed advice.
