SIR GM1

mrmayhem · #1 07-15-2006, 04:32 AM

Anyone know whats the deal with the SIR GM1? Is this thing ever gonna be released or is it a fictional item... I was very sick of XM after a couple years.. and want to make the 'integrated' switch to Sirius.. but come on.
Think the last I heard was August release now.. unless anyone has heard otherwise.

keeps being pushed back. I think DEI is who is making it.

I have one on order, and when I ordered the consensus was that the more that ordered the faster it would appear.

Sweet.. i just checked crutchfield day before and was still unavailable.. They must have heard me yelling.
Now i just cross my fingers that it fits my ride.

So can you add this to a monsoon system in an H1 too? Or is this different. XM just insn't cutting it. I switched the H3 to an Eclipse with Sirius and left the factory amp for the sub. Well, KodiakZ was able to do this for me. Kicks A$$!

mrmayhem · #6 07-18-2006, 04:01 AM

Dunno..
I plugged in 03-05 H1 info into crutchfield and it said sirgm1 would be compatable.. I would call them to see for sure.

I just recieved a shipment notification that my SIR GM1 has been shipped.

I'll have Sirius piped through the stock system pretty soon. Well, I already do, but I have steal my wife's portable player and have to have the little cradle for it.

The SIR GM1 will allow us to get Sirius and control it through the stock stereo just like XM.

mrmayhem · #8 07-19-2006, 02:54 AM

got my notification today as well... then the install begins

JRB · #9 07-20-2006, 04:40 AM

Mine arrived today. The install took less then 5 minutes. Unplug the XM module, plug in the SIR-GM1. I just ran the antenna out the door to get it going. Tune to channel 23 (Hair Nation) and set the preset. I am glad to be rid of XM.

mrmayhem · #10 07-20-2006, 04:50 AM

Sweet.. I am still crossing my fingers that it will work for my truck. I don't think mine has XM.. but according to Crutchfield it should work. Stock 6 disc. Same radio (exact) that i had in my Avalanche with XM.
Dang UPS won't be here with mine for another couple days...

10/4

works just like XM

kodiakz · #15 07-21-2006, 02:31 PM

Exaxtly the same, although the radio still displays 'xm' as the selected band. So xm 1,2, and 3 will be sirius 1,2, and 3.

Here's a link to the installation guide:

I received mine yesterday, but will probably be next week before I rip all the dash back out again and put it in.

Got some other stuff I need to do as well, so it will have to wait till then.

md_sailor · #18 07-21-2006, 06:38 PM

Klaus... hello again you helped me back when I installed my 05 Nav and XM. Have you thought about how we might adapt the Factory XM Antenna for the Sirius reciever? YOUR thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what makes Sirius so much better than XM

mrmayhem · #20 07-21-2006, 10:19 PM

Had two cars with both xm and sirius... Both have excellent audio. I thought Sirius had much better programming choices (line ups) than XM. Plus XM customer service sucks A$$ when you have questions about anything. Oh Wait.. they were great when I wanted to cancel.. geez they wouldn't let me off the phone and went so far as to grant me up to 200 bucks off any XM model of my chosing. (i told them i was canceling cause i sold my truck with xm).

My 2 cents.
