When a head unit says 'sirius-ready' (and don't worry, because this is a widely misunderstood concept), it just means there is a proprietary sirius receiver for that head unit. The sirius receiver you have listed is a 'plug and play' type device, which means it will work with any stereo that has FM, or an aux input. The plug and plays are certainly my favorite, intuitively speaking. There are other plug and plays you might like better as well and be priced better. |
