Do I need to buy the satellite receiver (sold separately and mentioned in the description) in order to make the Satellite/XM/Sirius work?

Yes, I did not buy the XM receiver because I simply use my phone to stream radio via Bluetooth to the receiver.

Set your satellite setting for "Sirius" NOT Sirius/XM, and you should get all three bands for presets.

According to the information on line, it will work. However, to avoid problems, call the Sirius help line at 866.601.6296. They may even offer a free radio or other stuff

I agree with Tom - the portable radioXMP3i (XM subscription) is best used outside in the open with the external antenna ear phone accessory. If you have a Sirius subscription the Lynx portable with vehicle accessories would be your best bet. Be forewarned satellite radio requires direct line of site to connect with the service! However, we do have the radio and have stuck the radio in our sunroof and as long as there is a direct line of site, it works.

Yes you can connect xm or Sirius as long as you buy or already have the adapter for the vehicle , it's a little box that usually says xm or Sirius on it

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.

It is, but you will need the Sirius SXV200v1 tuner to enable the Sirius satellite radio. It is, however, HD radio ready without any special adapters or antennas.

I don't know. I am not using satellite radio. I believe you have to buy a separate XM adapter.

Chad - No, this unit requires the SNYSC1 Sony-Sirius connect interface AND the Sirius SCC1 satellite tuner. When shopping, I found most of the head units required minimally the tuner, and many needed also the interface. Once installed, everything works seamlessly through the dash controls and the interface parts are hidden behind the dash somewhere. Simple hookup if you have room to tuck things away - I just used 3M foam double-sided tape to mount the parts behind the radio.

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

This is Kevin From ReplacementRadios. Satellite capability is required for this particular interface. You must have a button with SAT or XM on it to use this.

It is "Satellite Radio Ready" - to have it actually work, you need to buy the SXV200V1 Tuner (about $50) and of course, have a plan. http://www.amazon.com/SiriusXM-SXV200v1-Connect-SiriusXM-Ready-Receivers/dp/B007T0NM2M/

Dear Michelline,I do not know I have never been a Sirius user. So I cannot advise you to how it would work with this unit. I have heard that Sirius is a good type of radio to use but never had a sirius radio so would not know.Jerry Miller

Yes it does require and am/fm external antenna and a satellite antenna if you are going to use the sirius option

Yes you will need the unit found here on Amazon as "SiriusXM SXV200v1 Connect Vehicle Tuner for SiriusXM-Ready Car Stereo Receivers". I too had two vehicles with SiriusXM. However, this unit requires the addition of the module for the SAT radio to operate. It is all pretty straight forward really and I must say that I truly enjoy the unit.

I believe you need both.. I checked on the Pioneer website. The XM support on Pioneer is far superior to Sirius.. I opted to get XM rather than keep the bus adapter and Sirius connect module from the AVIC-D1 that I am replacing.
