Sirius Radio Connection

[KJD_0214]

I have a stock 06 Explorer XLS with the basic radio. Is there a way that I can hook up Sirius Radio directly to it. If not does anyone have an upgraded radio for sale. Thanks

I installed one of these in my 07 and it worked great with the factory radio. Very easy to install. Then I upgraded to the factory Nav radio and it also works great with it to.

I dont think my radio has satellite controls though

if it doesn't have the controls for it, than get a suction cup window box,

i have had one for about 4 years now, it goes thru the radio, and it works good,,

another good thing is , in your shop or house you can tune into the fm modulator and listen to it too, just can't change channel from in the house,

If you go to the Crutchfield website, enter your vehicle specs and it will reccommend a solution for you.
If not, you can email/call their customer support and they can tell you what options you have.

The website Tss radio is also an option.

You may also look at SAT ready after market head units. They'll still require the SAT tuner kit, but they can all be installed out of site and have the information display on the head unit for a clean install

Does your radio have a AUX button?

Yes it has an Aux button

Only problem I have seen with those that have a FM modulator, is that if you pass another car with a sat radio using the same frequency you tend to pick up their signal.
