Thanks for your reply. Like a previous poster pointed out, I guess I didn't do enough research. Pretty disappointing though for a high-end unit!

Maybe Pioneer is in cahoots with the the XM folks. Seems odd that all the info is available and displayed with the XM receiver but not the Sirius receiver - even though all the Sirius data is sent to the head unit.

I'm going to pass on the Z series for the other car since Sirius display is crippled. I've been a Sirius subscriber for over 5 years and enjoy their programming so don't plan to change and pay extra for the Sirius channels I listen to most often.

Live and learn.

Just installed the X920BT in wife's car along with the Sirius satellite receiver & interconnect. Had planned to go Eclipse until they decided to exit the market.

Overall, the X920 is a great unit and voice control of nav & iPhone functions seems to work extremely well. But the Sirius radio interface is terrible and extremely crippled. Pre-Sets don't show any channel info at all as compared to the XM interface which is very robust with detailed information about the channel pre-set.

Very disappointed in the lack of information for pre-sets. You better have a very good memory to remember what you programmed in what pre-set. An e-mail to Pioneer with an inquiry as to plans to improve the interface was answered with an "I'm sorry, this is normal for the Sirius interface and there are no plans to update/improve the interface."

Clearly, the data is already there since you can scroll through the display button on the main Sirius page. Gee, at least let us config the buttons with the AVIC feed software and name them.

This is my first experience with these Pioneer units after months of research.
