brettcp Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Can I hook up both the XM and the Sirius modules, or is it one or the other? -Brett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjc005 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 you can do both Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brettcp Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 thanks.. is it possible to use a single antenna for both (and use some type of Y adapter to bring one antenna to both the XM and sirius modules), or will i need two antennas? -Brett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 You will need both antennas, plus your GPS antenna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naplesbill Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 It will only work if one is a Pioneer branded XM tuner and the other is a DEI branded Sirius tuner for Pioneer(PNR1 or PNR2). You cannot use a Terk XM and DEI Sirius module together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liquidfuel Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 i have the Sirius PNR1 and the XM GEX-P10XMT units hooked up and they both work perfectly fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjc005 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Wow, I didn't know that you couldn't use the terk if you also had sirius. Not that anyone would want to use anything but a pioneer model on the D3 given the much better interface, but out of curiosity, why wouldn't the xm work as ext1 or ext2?

whtcrxghst Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Terks just have problems in general with just about any Pioneer that has a screen. Must've screwed up during the R&D or something Wow, I didn't know that you couldn't use the terk if you also had sirius. Not that anyone would want to use anything but a pioneer model on the D3 given the much better interface, but out of curiosity, why wouldn't the xm work as ext1 or ext2?

doey Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Why would you want to? Wait until the end of the year when Sirius and XM merge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that anyone would want to use anything but a pioneer model on the D3 given the much better interface, but out of curiosity, why wouldn't the xm work as ext1 or ext2? The problem is that the Sirius and Terk XM tuners will fight each other. I tried this when I first bought my D3 because I already had both the PNR1 and the Terk XM tuners. I was able to get them both to work at power up but after about 5 mins the Sirius module would shut off and switch back to XM. Why would you want to? Wait until the end of the year when Sirius and XM merge. Because even after the merger(if it's approved) both services will still operate. Supposedly you will be able to have both at a discount though. They will combine some channel content but not the two services. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zboxrud Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Does anyone have detailed pictures or instructions on installing both the XM and Sirius antenna's on the D3? My installer would like some information if I can find it before diving in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 You don't install the Sirius and XM antennas ON the D3. They connect to the Sirius and XM tuner modules that they came with. And if your installer doesn't know that, you should seriously think about gettin' somebody else to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zboxrud Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks Hi-Fi! I know what your saying, but I can't really find anyone else so far other than going to Best Buy or Circuit City where I didn't buy the unit. I have the Pioneer XM unit being shipped right now. It sounds like it is pretty obvious. I'll take a look once I get them both. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KNemesis Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 if you're just avoiding going to Circuit City or Best Buy because they're chains....then so be it. But i've had Circuit City install my BTB200 in my car and i did not buy it from them. they just charge you for the install if you bring in an item to have them install it.

Dane186 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Best Buy dosnt care when you got the stuff from, they will install it, except Car Alarms/Remote Starts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
