Can I hook up both the XM and the Sirius modules, or is it one or the other?

-Brett

you can do both

thanks.. is it possible to use a single antenna for both (and use some type of Y adapter to bring one antenna to both the XM and sirius modules), or will i need two antennas?

-Brett

You will need both antennas, plus your GPS antenna

It will only work if one is a Pioneer branded XM tuner and the other is a DEI branded Sirius tuner for Pioneer(PNR1 or PNR2). You cannot use a Terk XM and DEI Sirius module together.

i have the Sirius PNR1 and the XM GEX-P10XMT units hooked up and they both work perfectly fine

Wow, I didn't know that you couldn't use the terk if you also had sirius. Not that anyone would want to use anything but a pioneer model on the D3 given the much better interface, but out of curiosity, why wouldn't the xm work as ext1 or ext2?

Terks just have problems in general with just about any Pioneer that has a screen. Must've screwed up during the R&D or something

Why would you want to? Wait until the end of the year when Sirius and XM merge.

The problem is that the Sirius and Terk XM tuners will fight each other. I tried this when I first bought my D3 because I already had both the PNR1 and the Terk XM tuners. I was able to get them both to work at power up but after about 5 mins the Sirius module would shut off and switch back to XM.

Because even after the merger(if it's approved) both services will still operate. Supposedly you will be able to have both at a discount though. They will combine some channel content but not the two services.

Does anyone have detailed pictures or instructions on installing both the XM and Sirius antenna's on the D3?

My installer would like some information if I can find it before diving in.

You don't install the Sirius and XM antennas ON the D3. They connect to the Sirius and XM tuner modules that they came with.

And if your installer doesn't know that, you should seriously think about gettin' somebody else to do it.

Thanks Hi-Fi!

I know what your saying, but I can't really find anyone else so far other than going to Best Buy or Circuit City where I didn't buy the unit.

I have the Pioneer XM unit being shipped right now. It sounds like it is pretty obvious. I'll take a look once I get them both.

Thanks again.

if you're just avoiding going to Circuit City or Best Buy because they're chains....then so be it. But i've had Circuit City install my BTB200 in my car and i did not buy it from them. they just charge you for the install if you bring in an item to have them install it.

Best Buy dosnt care when you got the stuff from, they will install it, except Car Alarms/Remote Starts.
