Any way to use the Stock GM XM tuner with a F700?

Posted Jan 05, 2009 · 20:16 UTC#1

I searched and couldn't turn anything up.

I have an 08 Corvette with XM stock. The tuner is mounted on the inside of the left rear quarterpanel. I'd LOVE to keep this there as it's already wired with the antenna in a good spot. Plus, it would save me from having to spend yet another $100 on the tuner.

Two questions - can the stock tuner be utilized with the F700?

If not, can the GM antenna be plugged into the Pioneer XM unit?

Thanks for any light that can be shed.

No it can't. Antenna probably can, but you'll have to take a look at the type of connector it uses

you can use the antenna, but you have to remove the plastic sheath in order to plug it into the new xm tuner.

Thanks guys. I'll prolly keep the same location for the tuner then and swap in the Pioneer box. Hopefully running the signal line to the head won't involve pulling all the interior out...

Hopefully.
