I could never figure a good place to install a Sirius headunit without it toally looking of place. So I waited a while for Alpine to release the Vehicle Hub which will allow me to control the Sirius through the factory Nav System.

Here's a diagram of the setup. The Hub and Sirius tuner will be mounted in the trunk.

1) Alpine VPA-B211A Vehicle HUB
2) Peripherals PNVI adapter w/ Acura Harness
3) Alpine SIR-ALP1 Sirius SAT Tuner

 

///Alpine rocks!! (except for their speakers)

 

Did this work?? If I'm reading this correctly, you're getting sirius radio and youre controlling with your acura nav screen??!?! I am very interested in this.

 

ME TOO! very interested..... and how do you get to the sirius screen on our stock nav monitor. (ie: no button to the right to press like "MENU" or "AC")

 

I'll let you guys know today and post some pictures as I'm finally get it installed today. PIcs to follow

 

excellent, also, where did you get the pieces and how much?

 

they have a fancier unit now,

 

can you give a link to thes products StanMan

 

any follow up on this thread?

 

http://alpine-usa.com/en/products/pr...model=VPA-B222

crutchfield may have more.

 

All that just to listen to Howard?? Hope he's worth it.

 

Yeah just for howard, cause that's all that on Sirius

 

Sirius has way better hip hop stations, not that it has many, but they are better than XM, and so are the ROCK station. Sirius has more rock and more types of rock stations. My vote = Sirius

 

plus it has HOWARD STERN!

 

Wow! Cant wait for pics

They need this for the ipod too

 

....and don't forget bubba the love sponge. .... he is halarious...

 

there is another link in the 2nd gen TL board with new pics, apparently you can hook your ipod into this unit as well with the same efects and not loose any functionalty of your stock navi and audio system. Pricey but maybe worth it. But for resale value, it may look bad that the electrical wiring has been toyed around with.

 

where's the link?

 

if you click on the accessories tab, there is a cable to connect this to the iPod. if this works. it will be perfect.

i've seen it work with an alpine head unit and nav screen. but it doesn't say if it will produce titles and search functions on the screen for the ipod...

if someone knows the answer, let me know.
