Default Satellite Radios?

Looking to upgrade to a unit with satellite radio capability.

Would be nice to also have a diplay screen for Navigation such as this one (but this doesn't indicate satellite capability):

Amazon Amazon



Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Double din would increase the options.

How did you do it?

Most double din units (eg Kenwood, JVCAlpine, Pioneer, Sony) are compatible with extra cost modular units for S/XM. I have such a add on unit for my Alpine (albeit not a double din). Just make sure the unit you buy is SXM compatible and they have the add on unit.

The list of Sirius XM units with the built in tuner is very limited.

Some examples of the modular tuner add ons:

I have this one in a single DIN:

easy install, no big dash mods to make and works well.

I've had Sirius or XM in a couple rental cars, did not like past a few days of the novelty. Now I am fairly solidly in the USB thumb drive with a few GB of whatever I want, and local radio.

I didn't care much for the programming, not enough Die Antwoord, but something about the compression they use wears on me.

Any other suggestions on double DIN units that would work?
