I honestly cant remember. I'll look but what I do is use the Sirius app. I went with internet radio instead of using the hu. I can download stern shows I missed and listen to them on long road trips if I dont wanna listen to music. I'll try and find the answer to your question though


What hu did you go with?

Yep, the SXM timer is integrated into the factory radio.

If you go aftermarket, you will need to add a compatible SXM tuner. FYI, you (or they) can get an adapter harness online to use the factory SXM antenna/connector.

M² Mods.

@Mpgrimm2 @WadXpress

yea i found out it is in the stock unit.. so i ordered the sxv 300 and the sat1 connector for the maetro setup... so i could use the stock antenna and not that ugly ****** one.. lol

the svx comes with 3 months of sat and app for free.. so you pretty much gt the device free.. works for me cause MLB is on xm for the summer..

@WadXpress i went with the Kenwood DPX 375BT
