Satellite radio-replace sirius with xm?

Question

My new car came with Sirius in the dash....can I switch to XM without having the external box?

Answer 1

Not right now.

The MAY merge but there's much resistance to it happening.

If they do not merge, there has been talk of a universal satellite tuner that will work on both. You can always replace your in dash model for an in dash XM receiver.

Answer 2

There going to merge anyways so be patient

Answer 3

well they r going to join together anyway soon i think but u can by one a radio shack for cheap. i would wait to see what happens with the merger before you spend money. but i like the way u think. Sirius rocks!

Answer 4

Not yet.

Sirius has a lot of similar channels though - check out a guide on Cafeyak.com in Entertainment.

Answer 5

There are some places on the internet that sell the converters.  I don't know much about them or where to find them though.

Answer 6

Depends on the manufacturer but in almost all cases ... Nope.. if you want XM, youre stuck with that outside box...
