XM Radio
 
I want to put am XM radio in radio in my 2000 Chevy dually. I really didn't want something that looks line an add on unit. Any suggestions?

Madcow, what style/model are you looking at? I have a pioneer style that I installed, ziptied the reciever under the drivers seat, put the fm modulator behind the radio under the dash, installed a glass mounted antenna behind pass seat, and put the controller in my roof console area, looks really clean and you cant see anything that looks out of place except the antenna.

oops, forgot to add, mines a 2000 silverado and I meant reciever under the passengers not the drivers seat.

Madcow 02-29-2004 04:29 PM

I was thinking more along the lines of an in dash.

Check out crutchfield.com. They have a number of units that fit the GM hole in the dash.

If you can use a DIN sized unit, Alpine just came out with a unit that has the XM receiver built into the head unit.

if you go aftermarket in dash you will still need receiver installed and maybe even an fm modulator, depends on system, I think. Also on the newer trucks with factory xm you can not just buy xm reciever head and get xm, you need a receiver and antenna hardware and all that crap, mucho expensive that way.

I didnt read chucks post very well, thats really cool they finally came out with an integrated reciever/headunit.
