Replacing XM with Sirius - Click HERE for Original Thread
mrguinness
I am looking at buying a 2006 Pilot (trading in my 2004 Pilot :-)

The built in stock radio for the Pilot's is XM, but I am a Sirius subscriber and am not looking to change that.

Does anyone have an recommendations as to what to do. I really do not want to have to have wires and a second radio hanging out in the cab again. I have heard there are conversion kits to change XM to Sirius, but upon further looking, it seems that was mis-information.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Crutchfield doesn't list any converters available yet for Honda to allow play through the factory radio (there are converters for other auto mfgrs). You can have a small footprint sirius receiver installed. The tuner is installed out of site (under a seat, etc) and the small display controller is hardwired to wherever you want it. So you don't have the space taken up by the larger portable units and their are no wires hanging out.

I'm in the same boat. After lots of searching, my conclusion is to rip and replace--new sirius head unit w/ mp3, etc., sirius tuner behind dash, ipod converter. Later, upgrade speakers & add amp.

I'm looking at doing the double-din Kenwood DPX-501.

Check out this way. My XM will run for another week, but Sirius is paid for, 12 months so I'm good to go
