Just installed Sirius in the Alpine deck

[E36DJ]

My local sound place got their hands on a few of the first Sirius satellite radio tuners for Alpine decks, they are finally out!

I just installed it behind the dash, it's pretty crazy stuff. I activated my account on the computer, a few seconds later one of the lines on the display changes to "UPDATING" then bam, 120+ channels of commercial free everything.

They even have Sirius Speedway - 24/7 car talk show, local weather, local traffic, every news station you could dream of, 6 channels of electronic music (twice as many as XM) I could go on forever, I'm really happy with it!

The kit came with everything I needed, I was worried it wouldn't come with the AiNet cable, but sure enough it came with a MONSTER CABLE AiNet wire! Also came with a small magnetic antenna with very long/thin/strong wire, mounting hardware, fuses, etc.

If you've got an Alpine deck and have been waiting for this, wait no longer! You can also listen to all of the channels on your computer for free!

PS: This was on a CDA-9835, I pressed "source" and it went to "XM" then a cool animation of a planet w/ orbiting satellite starts up in the bottom left corner lol.

No problem, BTW the entire kit was like $85 in the store (Christmas special) $80 on their website.

Yeah, sorta a marketing screwup on Alpine's part, all new head units will say "Satellite Radio Ready." All 2004 models and some 2003 models with the XM logo will work with Sirius, we are going to try my friends 2003 9807 soon.

[sleestack]

oh ok good yea i have a 2004 i dont know which model but ill look when i get the chance.

[AlphaAndOmega]

I wanna get xm or sirius but i just cant stand paying yet anouther bill per month lol

[E36DJ]

Sirius is 12.95 a month but they have cool options like lifetime subscription for ~400 and yearly as well. They also give you all 120 channels straight up, no add on packages like XM. You can also listen to any stream and channel on your computer at no extra charge (basically like a free in home tuner.)
I think XM is 9.99/mo, Sirius had a LOT more dance/electronic channels with live broadcasts, as well as some awesome talk shows (Motor Trend and Sirius Speedway.) No brainer to me.. here are the pics.

Sorry for the crappy pics, I didn't have too much time to mess with the camera. The head unit is an Alpine CDA-9835 if anyone is curious.

How can you say that? I worked at a store that sold XM, they have about a 20 song playlist of hard house that gets really annoying - sirius has twice the dance channels as XM, they play awesome stuff too (armin van buuren, 4 strings, etc etc..)
