What Do I Need for an Satellite Radio Ready Unit, and Can I Remove It if I Sell My Car?
I'm interested in getting XM Radio this Christmas season for myself. I would probably use the subscription in my car and on my computer. My car's stereo, a Pioneer DEH-P5800MP, is satellite radio ready. What further equipment do I need in order to begin receiving satellite radio.
Also, if I plan on selling my car, can I remove the needed equipment to carry my subscription over to my new car?
A satallite ready reciever still needs some hardware. My previous Sony needed a $50 XM reciever and then a $50 connector so my radio could tune to the XM reciever. Yes, you could remove it when you sell your car but this may not be the best way to go. Does your radio have an aux input? If you want to use the subscription on both the car and computer, you would need to buy another XM reciever for the computer. And XM would charge more for the second reciever. If you use the aux input on your radio, you could by a reciever that would be easy to bring into the house with you, saving you money.
