I'm getting tired of switching between a few FM presets cause the reception sucks. I took a look at the owners manual but it dont say much.

Default No SOL...

You can get an external Sat setup, and get wired into your current radio.

Default Yes, Canadian is different, at that time Sirius was not offered in Canada, so no HU w/SAT button..

I have an '03, with the '04 Sat ready HU, and the factory Sat receiver. I needed to do a custom harness, but it works perfect. Sounds better than the FM modulated Panasonic I had.
You can also have a harness built for you to hook it up in a car without the factory wiring.

Default Get something like the USA-SPEC DFVW Aux adaptor to give you some aux inputs to the radio

and then hook the Sirius unit into it. I'm using this same unit to provide dual aux inputs for my iPod and XM2GO unit.
