can anyone tell me the difference between the sir-pnr1 and the sir-pnr2

i just bought a z1 and have sirius on the radio i am replacing but want to know what the difference is before buying pioneer sirius tuner.

thanks!

Version 2 added the sportsticker or whatever sirius calls it to prompt you of games

I'm not sure if this was in version 1 but I have version 2 installed and it also has a song alert function (i.e. if one of your selected favorite songs plays on a station that you are not listening to, an alert pops up giving you the option to change stations if you wish).

No the alert (game and song) is what was added to the PNR2, nothing much else changed.

From Pioneer's website:

Stay Tuned to the Digital-Quality Sound On-board: SIRIUS Satellite Radio

Enjoy SIRIUS Satellite Radio on board! In conjunction with Pioneer “SAT Radio Ready†headunits, the SIR-PNR2 offers crisp, digital-quality sound from over 120 channels — including 65 channels for commercial-free music and more than 50 for sports (NFL, NBA, NHL games and others), news, and a wide array of entertainment programs.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio also boasts stable signal transmission to tuners. Three powerful SIRIUS satellites fly directly over the U.S. at high elevation angles, ensuring coast-to-coast coverage. The satellites' “clear line of sight†keeps drivers tuned to the selected channels without obstruction from buildings or trees.

The SIR-PNR2 is a SIRIUS Digital Satellite Tuner for use with Pioneer "SAT Radio Ready†Headunits and AV Receivers. Features IP-Bus Input and Output, Single-Pole Sirius Antenna included, and 1-year Warranty.

New features for this model include:

Game Alert: Prompts when your favorite teams are playing at start of game and when scores

Game Zone: Lists your favorite teams' scores

By the way, I bought my SIR-PNR2 brand new for $6.00 + $7.90 shipping for a total of $13.90. What a bargain huh?

okay, so before tackling the install on this beast (which turned out to be not much worse than a standard install -- 4 extra wires -- yes 4, because of the bypass) i decided to read all the manuals. a six pack and a few hours later, i came across this:

The following functions are not available in the SIR-PNR1:

-Selecting team for game alert

-Displaying game information

-Using the song alert function

-Using the direct traffic announcement function

Well, thanks for all the replies. Now I know what I need.

OSUV,

Might I inquire where?
