Did a quick search but didn't find anything useful............so, has anyone been successful in fitting any kind of decent looking XM kit to the car?

Don't really want a load of cables hanging around.

Has anyone repleced to stock factory radio with an XM ready unit? If so what brand and what cost?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Les.

Search for Double DIN and you should find many threads. You might also search for Kenwood or for Pioneer, as they are popular replacement units.

I originally had a XM unit hooked up to my stock radio, but I ended up removing everything and having a Kenwood double DIN system installed with Sirius/XM, bluetooth, iPod connectivity, etc.

Thanks Dennis, I'll check it out.

I did this a few years ago, works great with the stock radio.

Mine is identical to "David in VA", albeit older model, perhaps. You can remove the trays from the CD holder and work with that to mount it. I was going to update it, but the newer models are to big for that area. You'll have to find an older one. I've opted to go with a new double din unit. Everything is bought and painted,.....just have to install it!

I put in an Alpine that I LOVE it has Nav, XM, Ipod, actually plays all formats it's amazing, it's also $1200 plus you'll need a new amp ect. my guy also had to move the AC control lower, I'll post picts tomorrow it's really nice.

Dennis, what year is your car? I went to a local well known entertainment installer and they said they didn't list an XM module for my year, 03. There data went back only to 04. BTW, I thought the cars were the same, in this regard, through 2005??

Hmmmm, all I could find was these and none of them mention the 996.....

This is the one you're looking for, if you go that route.

You can find it in his ebay store - http://stores.ebay.com/Euro-Motorspeed

I'd drop him a line or call first, he knows exactly which items you will need...

You don't have the MOST system do you? If you do, it can get pretty expensive trying to replace all the fiber-optic stuff...

I put an Alpine unit with satellite and other external device capabilities. It's nice to have 2012 technology in a 1999 vehicle.
