Has anyone hooked up the XM radio to this radio? I do not see any install info on it. There is a HD radio input and maybe that is where to put it?

If I recall pionneer had a module to go with this radio for xm and another for hd. I never upgraded to either.

I have XM hooked up to it. You have to buy the $99 tuner from Pioneer. It's about the size of a discman and comes with all the necessary peripherals: antenna, DC power and input to the head unit. I hid mine in the glove box and it works great.

I didn't fit the XDNX1 in my truck. I dropped Xm this year because their selection of Christian radio was pathetic. Classic Vinyl was pretty good as is the Patriot channel. You can get the subscription for half the asking if you push back really hard. The will give you an intro rate of half with auto-renew and then you just have to cancel at the end of the year. Then they offer the rate again. Good Luck

You need an external source like XM radio or a GM CD changer. Check the PAC audio website. They have several options.

Your XM antenna should plug in back of unit where standard antenna would typically go. As far as signal, instructions state, "The SAT Radio Ready logo indicates that this product will control a satellite radio tuner module (sold separately). Please see your nearest authorized Sony dealer for details on the satellite radio tuner module."

How were you able to determine that it was a faulty tuner and not user error? I am going through the same situation, although it is over the air and not cable. I was told that I could plug in a standard antenna and receive digital as well as HD channels due to the HD tuner. Please educate me in this matter as I am not versed in this matter.

I have the previous version of this unit. I have used it in my car for over a year. I went to Radio Shack and got a plug for the unit and a lighter plug, found some used wire at home and made a power cord. I plug into my portable XM radio in the car, and by using a small Walkman, I can listen to Satellite Radio while I work in the warehouse. Or, with earmuffs over my earbuds, I can listen while I mow the lawn. :) -Dan S.

Well I pulled mine out of my Delphi Boombox, where I have had it since I bought XM. (I don't drive so do not need to pull out for a non- existant car). I have a Delphi SA10000. So don't know if the later SA50000 is compatible. Keep asking other reviewers who may have a boombox & SA5000. I will say XM Radio is a bargain even in 2014!

The HD radio is built in. When you tune to a HD ready station information is displayed about their HD choices. It's awesome.

I am not sure if you can connect it or not. It uses a standard XM radio antennae which comes with it, so I am assuming that if your factory XM antennae has a standard XM connector on the end of it, it should work. If it has a proprietary end on it, like some Fords do, then you may have to purchase an adapter to connect your factory antennae to the unit. Hope this helps.

I've downloaded the manual, read the specifications, and nowhere do I see an indication that AM radio is offered. There is no AM/FM toggle mentioned, or a Band control. If someone has used this unit and had AM reception, please post here and mention which control on the radio allows access to AM.

If your current XM unit is built into your factory radio you will need the module that is advertised. If it is a seperate unit you should be ok. If not, you can get an adapter connector.

Ok, I mean, the signal is from XM sattelites. You have the same channels but from different sattelites. Personally I dont recomend this radio.

Nathan, how does one connect the adapter to the car stereo? I have a Honda Accord with AM/FM/XM/CD but there's no opening or port for any kind of adapter. You say that you've permanently wired the connection. Does that mean you fiddled with something under or behind the dashboard?

I had Best Buy "Geek Squad" install radio, they did a great job, at a reasonable price, I had to buy the part myself and bring to install, bought one of their radios, all for around $200.00

Yes. You have to use the preset stations on the unit, they tie directly into the radio using rail waves. Set your car radio to 93.7 FM and then tune the xm unit to 93.7 also and the station you choose on the xm radio will play through your car stereo.

As long as the built in xm is desperate from the factory radio you should be able to wire it in

I have not yet register the unit with XM, but it is supposed to be built in. Maybe you could look at Sony's website and look at the schematics. Sorry if this didn't help.
