I have a sony xplod cd player that is XM ready. I have a friend that has a pioneer tuner and antena that he will sell me for 100 dollars. Will my radio and this tuner work together even though they are different brands. if not is there some type of adaptor i can buy to make it work?

 

no and no. unless blitz makes an adapter for it but i don't think they do.

 

Yeah unless you can find some sort of adapter it won't work....

 

If it is the FM Modulator version it will work, otherwise, no.

The antenna will work with any XM tuner if that makes a difference. All XM antennas are the same. You would still need a new tuner though. I think there are some good rebates around if you look. I think there are some on XMs website.

ttt his tuner is the one i listed in the above post.

 

that unit has a fm modulator.. it will work with your stereo, BUT you can not control it via the headunit (or it's remote control).. you will have to use a different remote control (the one that comes with the pioneer unit).

 

Where should i mount the control for it? or should i spend the extra dough nd get one that is made for my sony

 

i would get a sony one that intergrates with the head unit.. that way one remote control will work for both pieces..
