Ok i have searched for the new SIR-PAN1 device on here but no luck.... but here I go....

The OEM system is made for Acura and ELS by panasonic. There is a new sirius tuner out to work with new Panasonic radios...

I think I may pick one of these up and see if I can make it work....please feel free to comment...I will post results ASAP

 

sorry im a noob

but do you think the plug they are reffering to is on panasonic aftermarket units, and not factory systems

 

I am pretty sure it is designed for the new aftermarket headunits but I am hoping that Panasonic used the same bus so that maybe just maybe I can replace the OEM XM tuner with the SIRPAN1 and have sirius in the TL

 

Actually I am sure it is for the aftermarket Pana headunits. As for the OEM headunit I am not sure if it uses the same BUS...need to look at the connectors. Also the antenna is different for XM and Sirius.

 

I thought our OEM system was Alpine?

 

Nope...definately Panasonic:

So will this work? Anyone call the company to see if it is Acura compatible?

 

I tried calling Acura, but the person i talked to could not help. Just wondering if anyone has pursued this option ? is it possible ?

 

This is worth investigating more thoroughly. If it works it opens the door to add all sorts of devices with the Panasonic CY-EM100U Expansion Box.


Crutchfield has the SIRI-PAN on sale for 79$. They also have a PDF installation manual on the Hands-on Research tab under "What's Included". The PDF shows a 2 pin Panasonic data bus.
