QX

I am planning to get a new Liberty next model year.
I see on the Jeep website that Daimler-Chrysler has an exclusive with
Sirius Satellite Radio, but I currently have XM-Radio, and prefer it
after sampling both online.
Anyone have any experience with installing an XM capable radio into a
Liberty? Crutchfield does not list anything as compatible direct dash
replacements for the Libby.
Does the 6 disc AM/FM model Jeep radio have separate input/output
jacks so I can direcly connect the XM output without having to use an
FM Modulator? I wish Daimler-Chrysler would give consumers a choice
and offer a choice between XM & Sirius compatible radios, but I guess
they got a deal with Sirius to be an exclusive.
Your comments are appreciated.
Thanks

My personal experience is only what I can offer and most if it may be of
little help to you.
I do not know if there are jacks in the back, but there is nothing in the
front. The Sirius is built in, in as far as being one of the selections on
the 'mode' button.

The 6 disk unit is able to swap from one Jeep to another. I took mine from
my 06 liberty when I traded it in on my 06 Rubicon, it was a direct swap, no
alterations of any kind were needed.

I hope that you DO get the information, and when you do, PLEASE post it in a
thread. When my Sirius free year runs out, I will likely make the switch
too.
We have only Satellite TV out here in the boonies, and get XM as a part of
our package, it is MUCH better than Sirius I think.

I agree, I think DC should give us a choice or the ability to easily make
the switch.

Best of luck to you!

I live in the relative boonies too, and have satellite TV. My TV has Sirius
on it, and I had XM in the car. I like the music programming on Sirius
better. Basically, my experience is precisely ooposite of yours.

Nobody gives the choice. When you elect to buy a new car, the car maker
signs a contract with satellite providers that locks you into either Sirius
or XM.

I'm a fan of XM too. I know XM sells modules that plug into head units that
are XM/Sirrius ready. Maybe you could plug an XM module into a Sirrius
ready radio?

That make way too much sense to be possible... some bureaucrat somewhere
stopped that from happening..
