Hey I was wondering, I have a 2004 HOnda Civic, and I just recently bought Sirius Radio and I am having problems installing it? It like isn’t working? Is it maybe just the radio system in the HOnda? Or is there a certain channel that i have to program my car radio to that it will work effectively?

Thanks

Wow man I am jealous! I have been putting all my money into modifications for my car. Anyway I am selling my Honda Civic and I am going to redo alot of the interior and get my stereo all installed with this money! I can’t wait….who did you decide to go to for the install?

On your recommendation, I went with Earmark (Addison location) and I’ve been very pleased with the service and installation quality.

MISCELLANEOUS:

* All audio cables are StreetWire ZN3 (expensive, but well worth the investment)!
* AUX input connects to a Delphi XM SKYfi2 Tuner over a set of ZN3 cables.

COMMENTS:

* KAC-X650D 5-Channel AMP was recently replaced by the X541 and X811D combo.
* AM HD Radio is identical to FM! Great BOOM for AM!
* The X979 remote control unit makes “living” easy and simple!

* Entire package custom fits into a 2001 Honda Civic Sedan (would you believe, which includes the 6×9 Kenwoods).
* Metra supplies all the custom pieces to adopt the 6×9 Kenwoods to a 6″ round Honda with no alterations!

* Sirius ROCKS! And, you get FREE PC streaming with any subscription! XM PC Streaming is an extra cost item.
* 2 “Thumbs DOWN”: XM looses out with FRED 44 (1st WAVE equal on Sirius); although LUCY 54 holds some promise.
* 2 “Thumbs UP”: XM Bluesville 74 and BPM 81 are about equal to Sirius Blues 29 and The Beat 66.
