I have the N-1, and subscribe to sirius. My question is is it possible to subscribe only to the xm nav traffic, and not the xm regular service.

You sure can. Details from XM's Site:

Service Pricing:
XM NavTraffic only: $9.95 per month
or
XM NavTraffic and XM audio combined: $12.95 audio plus $3.99 NavTraffic = $16.94 per month

I believe you will also need newer software for the N1. Either the CNDV50 or CNDV60

Are you sure? XM's site lists the N1 as compatible, not mentioning the need for upgrade.

Here is a snapshot from XM's site:

thanks for the help. Any idea how I can get the radio id from the N1?

Do you have the GEX-P10MT tuner? If so, let me know. Ill be going out in my truck in a bit so when I get in I will tell you exactly which menus to navigate to find out the Radio ID #. Also if you have the original box for the GEX-P10MT tuner, the radio id # should be printed on the box.

It should come up if you tune it to channel 0 as well.

Too be honest im not sure what tuner I have. I bought the n1 from my cousin. Had the guys at best buy install it, and they connected the sirius sportster to it. How would I get to channel zero? I have a hunch I would have to get out of "navigation" mode and try and get to that original screen.

Thanks for help!

Yep. Thats why there was such a huge demand for the 50 disks when they finally came out. Its on Pioneer's site too

Compatibility
The GEX-P10XMT is compatible with the AVIC-Z1, AVIC-N3, and AVIC-D2 Navigation Systems, as well as older models AVIC-N2, AVIC-D1, and AVIC-N1 (CNDV-60MP or CNDV-50MTP upgrade software required for AVIC-N1).
