Default Re: DIY: Sirius Satellite Installation

Hi wleeb,
Well, I finally got a chance to watch your video's last night... GREAT STUFF!! I had no idea it was that easy to tear apart the dash and center console and remove the radio! Thanks for the great post.
I, too have concerns about the center SPEAKER GRILL itself blocking the antenna's reception. Not so much the position on the dash, but the actual grill material partially blocking the signal. Can you please keep us posted on how your reception is working out there- under the speaker grill?
MY main question is that you mention the $129 Sirius Tuner in your post, but then in your video's, you have (2) separate modules...
a) How much does this extra module cost?
b) How do I know if I need that one or not? I have the JBL Sound System in my truck. The radio face place does have a button for SAT. Will I still need that 2nd module, and if so, can you please elaborate via text here what each unit does/ is needed for? I know you mentioned it in your video's but I still didn't catch what is needed for what..
Thanks again for such a "professional" post.
