Yes mine is a L connector. It works but its not ideal. My connection is in the truck so I wasn't worried too much. If its outside then it might not seal properly.

Pretty sure mine have L-plugs. Not sure if they are compatible with non-Audiovox cables though.

If the link is correct for the this Stereo, then yes it comes with the antenna for the SiriusXM tuner. When I was looking at mine to purchase I noticed that one of the packages didn't offer the SiriusXM, so just make sure that you order the correct one. I installed mine in my older Porsche and it was easy to connect. It's a great system with plenty of power and good sound quality.

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 bought this tuner in 2008 for my alpine Sirius ready radio head. While this tuner was first manufactured in 2005, it will not work on your radio. They are proprietary to alpine products. This product was specifically designed and sold to pair Alpine brand radio heads that were Sirius ready...meaning these radios lacked the Sirius tuner, but were internally programmed to broadcast the signal. Back then, it was more economical to purchase alpine radios with capability readiness and purchase add-ones like this tuner later on. That's what I did. Sorry these won't help you. On the brighter side, the quality of this product exceeds all expectations. Been running on the same radio since 2008 without a thought.

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.

Need to find out if you have a Sirius Sat adaptor and antenna. If your truck didn't come with those, you need to buy an adaptor that includes the antenna. Either way you will also need a Sirius subscription.

I haven't tried that. We just have Nanos and i Pods and they work okay. I was using a patch cable for my Sirius but found that it acted like an antenna picking up alternator whine. So I just switched to the radio transmitter.

Hello! We will have upload a picture of the jack plug. It does not have a L-shape plug.

It's now called SiriusXM which is what I have. The radio is available as a car kit or a home kit. Either way, one would need a power supply to supply either 12 volts (car) or if using a home kit in the car, one would need a small 120 volt converter which is what I have. The converter plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and provides the power for the home unit. A 100 watt converter would do the job nicely. The home kit comes with antenna and a fairly long, small diameter cable to mount the antenna outside unless you have a south facing window. I set my antenna on the dash because my car has a very large windshield and the reception is great. The only thing to seriously take into consideration is can the little antenna be put outside your bedroom and have a clear shot at the southern sky. If not, it probably wouldn't work in the house for you. There are outside antennas and mounts and extention cables available to overcome a north facing room. SiriusXM cam be made tp work in almost any location by purchasing the additional antenna hardware. I hope this hasn't been too confusing and answers your inquiry Oh, as far as monthly cost, they have a number of programs available depending on what all your listening preferences are. The music only package is the cheapest at just under $10, and the next package is around $15 per month.

I think the antenna you're planning on purchasing should fit the sirius dock. It fit mine and I don't remember the antenna having any model numbers that it wouldn't fit.

No, I use the wire ant. I use the cable that goes in my radio and use the sirius on the outside. Does that help.? I

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

It does not plug directly into the radio and you will need the docking station. Also, the regular plug that you would use while in the house to charge the radio is hard wired into the docking station. And if I might add, although I like this radio, I have many friends that use the Baofeng UV 5RA. Their radios do everything mine does at 1/3rd the price. I plan to purchase the Baofeng next time.

I bought onemail of these and can answer your question. No it does not have a r a plug, just 3 wires. A hot wire which you run to any sources which is hot when car is on or if your stereo has a powere antenna lead, connect it there. A ground wire which you connect to any grounded source in the car, and t1he standard Antenna plug that goes in the back of the radio. No adapter needed unless the antenna plug in is the smaller European style. If so any radio shack or auto zone has the adapter. The product looks and works great and definitely boosts reception. Mine picks up even inside the garage with the door closed . Hope this helps . I bought onemail of these and can answer your question. No it does not have a r a plug, just 3 wires.

It doesn't connect to ANYTHING! - That's why I returned it. It was recommended by tech support for the indoor antenna, but they failed to advise they I would need a connector adapter kit. The default indoor antenna worked fine...

I'm pretty sure it'll fit. I use a Stiletto car cradle at work and use this adapter as it's power source even though it's a car cradle. My understanding of xm/sirius radios is they need a 5v dc power source which this adapter provides. The plugs have become universal so they fit any home/car cradle. I have about 3 of these. 1 in garage, 1 at work and 1 in bathroom so I could listen to my radio where I want without having multiple subscriptions. Only one has burned out and needed replacing in a 4 year period. Hope this helped.
