Sirius radio in 2007 fusion

[scottboy]

Has anyone installed a Sirius radio in a job2 2007 Fusion. The car has the antenna on the roof and has an Ipod jack as well. I'm looking to add the sirius radio just like they do in the factory for $195.00. I don't want anything on the dash,and want to use the factory radio to control the sirius radio. I'm sure the factory just's adds nother tuner(sirius) inside the dash, and maybe a wiring harness. I have been lead to believe that the factory antenna will even work with the sirius radio. I call the dealer they don't seem to know what to do,and said to call sirius. I called sirius and they told me to call the dealer. I called ford and they refered me to dealer. This is a big circle jerk,and I have almost given up. If anyone can tell me a way to get this done( ford part # etc) it would be much appreciated.

Ford will sell you the parts, they dont stock the kit *yet*- and most ford dealership technicans arent very knowing in the audio department- it used tobe a ford counter tech could answer any question thrown at him...that day is about over.

But- there is a growing number of companies selling the kit- it go`s under the name FD-XMFD5 for the XM radio (FD-ford, XMradio,FDford,5version), and a similer number for the Sirus setup- its pretty simple- a little add on module, a wire harness add in, and the AUX button switches contro over to satt. - there even a way to wire in the IPOD and not use the IPOD jack in the center glovebox- Be aware that not all Audiophile systems are compatible, even if they do have the AUX button- supposedly the rear antenna is FM/AM terrestrail/ground and satt, all in one-

 

take a peek- heres one of several websites that have the module on sale->

look there, the website gives you the secret to obtaining the OEM number off the radios display, and the speaker test/default test runs- email him, he`ll tell you if your radios compatible-

Circle jerk is a good term on the run around I have had trying to get the answer to the elusive antenna question. I had Sirius installed (dealer) and the installer put in the small magnet antenna with the satrad. I was led to believe that the roof mounted antenna was an all in one (owners manual).
