Sirius OEM Install

I have a 2005 F150 it has a CD6/MP3 OEM radio with no Sat button. It has an AUX button. Is there a kit I can buy that will enable me to have siruis radio and control it thru my OEM radio.

Thanks in advance

If you mean can you change channels, see the info displays, etc on your OEM radio, the answer is no. You can certainly buy a Sirius radio and connect it to your OEM HU via a PIE cable.

I have a Sirius Starmate connected to my 05 Factory HU (w/ Aux Button). The sound is 100% better than the FM transmitter options. I have the Sirius Starbase, which has an OEM style Sirius box (behind the dash) and has a very small display/control plus a remote. I mounted my display with velcro on the top of my rear view mirror.

I have a Sportster Replay Reciever already. I was just wanting to get rid of the wire clutter. I can work on cars but when it comes to wiring in electical components I suck. I figured if I got some type of kit I could hide all the clutter.

Sure you can do it. You can either get a take-off Sirius tuner (and cables, antenae) from a truck/Ford vehicle that had it from the factory (some are different)... and also Ford will be offering a 'kit' this fall apparantly from their dealerships.
