Hey guys, I have a 2006 Ram Turbo Diesel that I'm going to be installing a F90BT into. I have a D3 in my Subaru, so I'm pretty familiar with these units in general, but the F series is a new evolution of radio, so i'm unsure about a couple of things:

 

1) Which XM satellite box should I purchase? I have the NAV traffic version on my D3, but is it necessary with the F90BT since traffic info is available through MSN direct?

 

2) Is there a steering wheel interface that's compatible with both my vehicle, and the F90BT?

Ok, I already did a little research and figured out which steering wheel adapter to use (pac-swi). I still need to know which XM receiver is appropriate though.

You need the XM radio box only. The F series does not support Nav Traffic. If you look at the Pioneer or Crutchfield websites, they will show you which radio to get for XM.
