Default Sure...two options...both from BlitzSafe...

Based on the info that you've provided, here is a basic answer:

a trunk version ($70) and one that connects behind the Sym I ($100). The trunk version is cheaper...and easier to install. Of course, you will lose your CD changer in the process (if you have one in the trunk).

It all depends on where you want to mount the tuner and display and antenna. Feel free to do a search on this forum and the audio forum for more pix, posts etc.

See also my sig for my 84 nav+ install pix..so you get an idea what these units look like.

good luck!

Default I have a similar connector, RCA plugs right into back of radio, Sirius antenna centered on dash.

no need to wire into cd changer, with the attendant problem of where to put the antenna, and the head recognizes it as the cd changer.

My only complaint is that the line level is lower than it was on the CD changer, so I can't quite blast the Bose the way I once did. Still plenty loud, though.
