Quest Sirius Radio

Sep 21, 2003 5 Replies

I recently purchased a 2004 Quest with the nav and 6 disc CD.



There is an option for late avail (not yet) Sirius, and a note stating it can't be retrofit when it does arrive.



Has anyone added a sirius tuner from a third party, and is there a way to integrate with the stock radio (without an FM mod). There is a sat button on the radio, but clicking it reads "no sat" since there is no tuner. Can I just add a sirius tuner, or would that not work (some sort of proprietory Nissan thing)



Any help appreciated.



Thanks Paul


You have the essential piece of equipment, which is the stereo with the satellite button. Now you need a tuner and an antenna. Sirius is giving away the tuners, just go to sirius.com or to a local best buy. You will probably get the entire thing done much cheaper than the dealer. The only negative thing i can think of is that the dealer's antenna might be more customized to the quest.

I was wondering if anyone had any luck trying to get XM or Sirus satellite radio into the new Nissan Quest? This Nissan website of course says there will be no retrofit kit made available (why I have no idea). But you would think that you could just go into a Nissan dealer and go to the parts counter and order the parts you need.

I've talked to Blitzsafe and they say there are coming out with an aftermarket unit to make the dash "SAT" button work as it should. (For XM anyway).

Anyone had any luck with this?

just buy a delphi system, fm modualted and be happy

Skip the factory unit. Delphi SkiFi with XM is great. You can use it in the car with a modulator and use it with another adapter for the house. Only pay one fee. Well worth the money. Good programming. Music channels are now completely commercial free. Only problem is that the display is hard to read in bright sun. May not be as high fidelity with the modulator, but with the car background noise I can't tell. Won't drive without it.

Do a google search for "grubbs" which is an infinity / nissan dealer in Texas. They may have an XM or Sirrus tuner kit for your car. It would be an OEM unit. I just ordered one for my Murano. The tuner was made available for an infinity car, but it was found to work perfectly for the Murano, which means it works with the head unit in the dask, and responds to the "Sat" button(controlled by the buttons on the steering wheel etc). Grubbs has several kits available, and perhaps one for your car. You can have a local dealer or teenager install the tuner for you.
