I currently have the AVIC-N1 with the XM module. It is possible to add a 2nd module to get Sirius as well?????????

Thanks

I don't know of any IP-bus mux boxes, and I think the Sirius does its job by "looking" like an XM, so I don't think the HU knows HOW to do two.

So, no.

But you can send ME 12.95 a month if you like : )

 

hehehe

 

The Sirius SIR-PNR1 is recognized as an external device, while the XM radio is actually a Source option in the menu. I have my Sirius tuner hooked up and when I pull up the Source menu, I can see the XM option but it is grayed out since I don't have the XM tuner.

So basically I think it would work. You would need two seperate antennas though, one for XM and one for Sirius. You would just hook up the additional Sirius tuner to your existing components via the IP_BUS. If you have any questions about the install let me know, I have two IP_BUS components hooked up to my N1 right now and the install isn't too bad at all.

 

Thanks Tsx!

That's what I wanted to know. So it does seem like both modules can work since the Sirius is recognized as an external device

The Sirius module does mention that it can have other modules connected to the IP bus so piggybacking does look possible

 

^^ No problem man! Give it a try...Are you thinking of switching from XM to Sirius? Or just keeping both?

 

Boy I hope that works... I'd LOVE to be wrong on this one.

 

I'd like to get both
