I was on Crutchfield's site yesterday checking the price of the SIR-GM1 tuner, and I had the search results filtered according to what would be compatible with my vehicle (06 SS/SC with Pioneer system). When I scrolled to the bottom of the page, it says "This item does not work with the factory system in your car." I changed my vehicle to "without the Pioneer system" and it says the same thing. I know that several of you have been waiting for the SIR-GM1 as well, so I wanted to see if anyone has installed it and verified this fact.

no, the actual model for us has not come out yet
it has been pushed back since september unfortunately

Thanks tiny! I really appreciate the clarification and doing a search for the SIR-GM1 didn't yield much info, so I appreciate your help.

is this to get sirius instead of xm?

High_PSI

Yes. This kit consists of a tuner and wiring harness that will allow the use of all the factory stereo and steering wheel radio controls with Sirius instead of XM. The only thing I am unsure of is if it is possible to use the factory antenna and not impact any of my factory car phone or Onstar functions when performing the conversion. I know that there is a guy who is a member on Sirius Backstage forums who makes and sells a cable to allow the use of a factory XM antenna with the SIR-GM1.

yea, the GM1 will basically make the car seem like it was made for sirius, all the xm functions will switch over

until then, i have an fm modulator direct wired into my antenna/stock head unit
quality is awesome

I have the inline modulator and it's pretty good, but on the upper freqs it seems to be a bit fuzzy. It's a lot better than a wireless modulator.

What kind do you have?
