XM Plus Sirius? — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Posted Jan 25, 2011 · 15:16 UTC#1

Several Questions about satellite tuners and which I need:

Can you install both a Sirius and and XM Tuner to a Z1/Z2/Z3? Where do they plug in?

Is XM Traffic the only option for satellite traffic? (Sirius has a Traffic option now: Siruis Traffic)

I don't think XM has the BackSeat TV option, or does it?

Is the Sirius AVIC Module even capable of BackSeat TV? I assume I would still need to get a SCV1

Bottom line...I want both traffic and backseat TV? What are my options?

Yes you can add XM and Sirius. They are "daisy-chained" via the IP Bus cable.

XM is the only option for Traffic on Z1/2/3.

No XM or Sirius backseat TV option on the Pioneer XM unit.

Thanks Garret.

So if I get both units I will have traffic via the XM tuner and Backseat via the Sirius tuner?

(I will be in contact with you soon about a Z1-->Z3 upgrade drive soon mate).

Backseat TV is not supported on the sirius unit for the Avic Z.
