I love having the iPod right on the dash, but I have an iPod Nano so its almost too small to read!

If it is hooked up correctly you should at least see XM as one of your sources after FM & CD. I have had many issues where the Sony radio says XM ready, the Terk piece lists the Sony model # on the package, and it still does not work. According to Terk - they have been having compatibility problems with Sony. Good Luck!

The new sony remote displays the sat info as well as ipod info if you hook up the ipod adapter too. I just got done rigging a azimut cruiser with 3 remotes sony head , xm, ipod, and it all works nice. The new remote requires a hole for mounting larger than the old access remotes or last years sony remotes. Like the size of a guage mounting hole , looks much better flush mounted like that.

Steve, I wish I knew you were looking to go this route. They are all for sale.
I could not stand XM. I much prefer Sirius. My biggest gripe is that even though the XM integrated directly, the Sony round wire remote control on the dash did not provide any display info on the XM Station, Song, Artist; etc.
I ended up just adding some RCA input jacks and I have my Sirius controller and my Ipod Nano velcrod to the dash and I live having all the displays and controls in front of me.

I also use my Nano. Thinking about getting a Ipod Adapter so I can control the Nano throught the stereo remote instead of going throught the RCA inputs. I like gadgets.

The XM Module and the Sony-XM adapter were $100 new. I used the XM maybe 8 times last season, and did not renew my subscription.

Make me an offer if you want them. (Sorry, don't mean to hijack Steve.)
It appears as though the new Sony Remote that installs like a gauge has much better integration functionality.

Re: Sony XM Satellite Radio Help....
To update, I purchased the upgraded version of the Sony XM adapter today. The package said, "Updated Compatibility for 2006 Radios".
I compared the cables that came with the adapter and they appeared identicle to the cables that were already in place with the old adapter. I hooked up the new adapter and to my surprise, it didn't work. I called Terk and they said I must have a bad "new" adapter. I hung up the phone, shaking my head, ready to rip out everything and run it over several times with my F350.
Instead I paused and thought I should change the cable just for S&G's. I pulled out the new cable that came with the new adapter and plugged it in. To my amazement it worked!! Go figure.
