Ok thanks for the clarification. So what are the overall changes to the new Radio? Anybody hear anything over the old?

XM is effectively Sirius now that they’ve merged, and the previously available PCNR already supported it out of the box.

It was supported but you resend to add a separate module. Be nice if everything was in one unit for the next version.

Probably unlikely. SiriusXM has moved to a universal tuner that is used broadly across all stereo OEM’s. This was a decision SiriusXM made a few years ago to help streamline their aftermarket stereo strategy, I believe. They’re on the 3rd version of this same tuner protocol and interface.

I’m not sure there remains any current head unit that still has the SiriusXM tuner built directly in.

Would love to be proven wrong. Another dongle hanging off the back is never more preferable.

Default DAB and DAB+ . . . Digital Audio Broadcast . . . . RoW
DAB is short for Digital Audio Broadcast. .. The DAB+ variety uses an updated downward compatible scheme. .. Used mostly in RoW countries, not in the USA. .. What is called FM HD or HD Radio is similarly used in the States. .. Many metro market FM radio stations also broadcast their programming in HD Radio. ..

It does. They have a single din slot for the radio- why wouldn't it work?
