Default XM & Sirius question

Greetings All:

I purchased a new 2005 ES 330 from Hennessy Lexus on Saturday, October 15th. I was told that the '05s were only compatabile with XM and that the '06 radios were compatable with both XM and Sirius. Is there anyway to make the stock factory headunit accept Sirius? An adapter or something? I have been a Sirius subscriber for some time now and really like their programming over XM.

I know I could have the external receiver installed and an FM modulator but I don't think that will look good in the cabin area.

Any help or input is appreciated.

Default Xm

I am not positive on this...but i was just in the local tweeter store checking on the new pioneer unit. they come compatible with xm and i wanted to see if i could overide it somehow to have sirius...they told me there is a way...so, just guessing it can be done for the newer units on anything. stop by a hi fi shop and they should know. good luck

Yes there is a kit. I dont know exactly which site, but just doe a search for SIRIUS or Satellite Radio. I believe the 05 should be compatible though.

Stay with SIRIUS there programming is top notch.
