Is it possible to use the NavTraffic feature with Sirius? Probably a dumb question cause I know it is an XM thing, but what if XM and Sirius merge. Is there any possiblity that I will be able to use it somehow?
I don't want to switch to XM but I want to use the NavTrafffic if I can.
If I understand your question then yes you can have navtraffic with sirius however you will still need to purchase the gex-p10xmt reciever and pay I think its 9.99 per month (without the xm radio subscription). Not really worth it if you ask me unless you are willing to switch over to xm.

hmmz, if you have xm you don't get sirius channels yet? i figured if they merged subscribers will get all the channels..
They are planning on merging, but it is still months, if not years away. It won't be an instant thing.
If you want to buy the XM NavTraffic Tuner and only activate the NavTraffic, you can do that. However there is no way to combine it in one tuner as of yet.

whats the price? 12.95 + 5.00 for the nav traffic?
I see. So you can activate NavTraffic ONLY. Got it. Thx

Really? I did not know that. That would have saved me some money.
also before all this sirius xm merger... sirius has already plans of having their own nav traffic... if you look at the eclipse site they have the eclipse specific nav traffic tuner for sirius... dont know when and if theyll be out for pioneer
Alpine has it too. Last time I asked our Pioneer guy if they were going to do it, he said no because they don't make any of the sirius tuners. That was a long time ago though, so maybe the merger will change that

I'll try this setup by the weekend and report. I have a lifetime sirius subscription, but miss the navtraffic. GF has XM and I could use her $4 month discount.
Note that you'll have to run 2 seperate antennas as well.
Thats what I said two posts above
Sirius already has a traffic system SEE HERE. Its actually the same system same coverage maps and everything. Just only One alpine unit uses (and some other non integrated solutions). So in Time i am sure they will just release a new tuner.

Yeah, i somehow overlooked it when reading but i figure at least they have a link to see for themselves now anyways.
Who knows when and if Pioneer will release Sirius Traffic. The sirius version is out for a year already and still only works with Alpine's overpriced nav unit. I have it with my other Alpine system.
Have you used the XM navtraffic as well? I heard they are basically the same. Just curious if one is any better than the other?

haven't used it yet. I agree they're probably identical in performance and probably use the same data feeds.
The alpine/sirius version has kept me out of some major jams around chicago and has the capability to reroute you around traffic.
I'm holding off on any Sirius or XM receivers until they go further into their potential merger deal.
What will the merger mean for sirius users with a sirius tuner connected to a d-2. Will I finally be able to get station names on the display. I was thinking of going XM just to have a screen that actually diplays the XM material, but now I don't know what to do?
It could be a year before we know if the merger goes through and probably longer until we see new equipment. I can tell you that with the current sirius stuff, you will never get more than one line of information at a time or station logos or the ability to name your presets, so if thats what your looking for, get XM
