is this compatible with Sirius starmate 8?

Almost certainly, yes. Sirius has used the same docking system for all its models for some time, including the old Stratus I own and all previous Starmate radios. One caveat: later model Sirius sets (like Starmate) cannot transmit their FM signal all around the house the way the older models could do. But, the home kit provides dedicated audio cables to link up with a nearby stereo. If that's what you want to do, then the home kit is all you need.

Uh, you need to be more specific about this question.If you bought the Sirius adapter and have a valid membership (or if they give you a free try) then you would need to go into the source panel and then select Sirius XM. I don't know what you meant with "automatically"

The other person doesn't know what they are talking about. I have starmate 5 and it works fine for me.

I agree with J, Jacoby. If you have factory satellite radio (XM or Sirus) it should work.

I have an Onyx XM radio and it uses the 5V. The Starmate looks like an enhanced version of the Onyx. The way to know for sure is call Sirius and ask a tech what voltate that particular radio uses. The device works flawlessly on my motorcycle for the Onyx. The other question you need to ask them is if the power connector is the same on both radios.

Gerald, if this looks like your old power cord it probably will work. I have a Sirius Starmate 8 that I had to replace the power cord

Yes. I have mine plugged to the Sirius/XM Fusion brand Sirius receiver module.

Probably not, unless it says (usually on the face plate of the deck) "Sirius/XM ". As I have stated before,make sure the model you buy is compatable with the programming you want.

It works for a number of radios that are not listed ( mine is a Sirius SDST5V1 Starmate 5) but there are some functions that do not work that worked with the same radio on my original remote. Some of these are: The SELECT button does not return to the previous channel when you press and hold it; the remote does not allow me to enter my saved songs feature and edit the list (I have to do it on the unit itself); The DISPLAY button does not work; the unit's volume controls do not work; and the jump button does not work. If you are looking for very basic features, this remote may work for you. You can contact the reps at TSS Radio for questions as well.

No, it will NOT work. The reason is the connector will not fit. This only works on Radios with SiriusXM logo on the front.

If I currently have Sirius on my Factory unit, will this unit support? In other words, is it truly "plug & play?" I don't want to lost my Sirius capability. Thanks!

I am not familiar with the on star system however the Boss has aux, usb, and card readers therefore I have used a external Sirius radio hookup no problem. I hope this helps you anyway it can but the radio is pretty decent for the price.

You're taking a chance by doing this purchase on line from Amazon. I purchased this item and the connections did not line up. Best bet is to get it from Sirius, just give them a call and give them the model number of your unit. Or take your set to Best Buy and have them match it up there.

Don't believe so. Sirius and XM, while now a single company, still have pretty incompatible hardware. I think this also applies to remotes, since they're still sold separately.

Not sure, mate. But buyer beware, those Sirius receivers have different plugs for different brands/models.

Yes, This boom box has a universal plug-in. And will accept the Starmate 5 or any other Sirius radio.

I'm not familiar with the specific antenna you mentioned but any Sirius antennas seems to work with this device.
