Sirius Radio and my car radio?!
Question: Sirius Radio and my car radio!?
I bought a radio from sirius!.com and a subscription and while waiting for it to ship I noticed that my actual car radio that I use now had a the Siruis dog on it and it says "Sirius Ready"!. Does this mean I didn't need to buy the the radio from sirius and I can just get a subscription for the radio I already have!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
Most likely that is the case!. Although your car could have come equipped with a Sirius compatible head unit and not the actual "brain!." I would swing by the dealership and get some more info on your actual car (you never told us the model)!.
Can you navigate to Sirius on your head unit now!? Is there a way to switch the output to AM, FM, CD, and satellite!? If so what happens when you put it on satellite!? It should give you a 1-800 number to call to activate the radio if the "brain" is in place!.
Examples of the "brains" (aka SiriusConnect) below;

That would be my guess; check your owner's manual to see for certain!. Sometimes radios are Sirius compatible but you have to buy an accessory to use them!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
