Is satellite radio an extra option? If so, is it available, how much and does it require any special installation?

You will need the SiriusXM SXV200v1 tuner. The cable needed is included with the unit so it is plug and play.

This unit is Sirius XM ready...connector already exists. I don't use satellite, but it is a nice feature to have. I do use the USB hub to charge my Bionic and iPod as I drive..

Yes to the wifi. It will work anywhere that you can get on to the internet, no satellite needed. It will not work with other radios kits as far as I know. I think the dock is special to this unit. It's a pretty neat little radio, I like the on demand features of it the best, and will often download 5 or 6 talk shows at a time to have on it for when I can't find something live to listen to. The antenna is the same connection to this dock as older docks so you shouldn't have to snake the antenna wire through your car again if you already have one installed.

It is "Satellite Radio Ready" - to have it actually work, you need to buy the SXV200V1 Tuner (about $50) and of course, have a plan. SiriusXM SXV200v1 Connect Vehicle Tuner for SiriusXM-Ready Car Stereo Receivers (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

If I currently have Sirius on my Factory unit, will this unit support? In other words, is it truly "plug & play?" I don't want to lost my Sirius capability. Thanks!

I have the complete unit... you need a backbone for the network, a sirius antenna for thw eather and sat radio module, then to listen to it u need the marine radio package. I have the whole unit, plus EVERYTHING all connected and working, never installed on a boat, used only once on a test run and im selling all of it complete... still have the boxes and paperwork even. Email me Joe.dip75@gmail.com it is great, i just dont get out enough to justify having 5 grand worth of electronics suite.

Yes you will need the Sirius module and antenna. They will both mount somewhere behind the radio in the cabinet. Then the Sirius folks can program the system for you or turn it on where it works.

Hi Gail...I can't tell you what it takes for the car. I never used it in the car yet. I believe the unit came with what was needed for the car if you just wanted to use the FM radio and dial in the unused frequency. However, if you wanted to tap into the radio's antenna for a more direct route you would have to buy an adapter. I DO use it in my office. I purchased an adaptive cradle with a 12v power adapter and another antennae for ~ $30 - $40. The cradle allows you to use any speaker system that you would use with your computer...3.5 mm plug. Antennae just sits in my window and it works well. You must have access to the sky where the satellite is though. Hi Gail...I can't tell you what it takes for the car. I never used it in the car yet.

You do know that this is a WiFi adapter for computers, right? There are no satellite signals involved, just an internet gateway in or near your house. If you are looking for something for Dish TV, this isn't what you want. P.S. it works fine for me, picks up more connections around the neigborhood than the WiFi built into my laptop.

Car kits are available for every model most of the newer receivers use the same base. Sirius has them for way cheap in there outlet center on their website.

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.

If you go to serius' webpage http://www.siriusxm.com/ all of your questions should be answered. Personally we had no problem with the equipment or service.

Well Penelope as for sirius it's not internally in this system. However you can connect a sirius satellite to it. Hope this response helps!!! Happy Saturday!!!

There is no provision for an additional antenna. The radio is very good at pulling in signals, including the weather stations. Positioning the receiver next to a window would probably work. It's a well engineered receiver.

I don't think there is any. There is only one port for the satellite receiver and no other port. Nor transmission channel too--it is a pure receiver.
