No, you can not use any satellite radio to connect to Sirius. The hardware for each (XM or Sirius) is designed specifically for one or the other. For Sirius, there is a code on the back of the radio that they need to activate the service. It is specific only to Sirius equipment.
Well, if it's not a fuse problem, it could be that your radio has indeed died. This happens.
Or, if you've had the battery disconnected lately, it could be that the anti theft protection has activated. Is there anything on the display at all? Any minute signs of life?
If you decide that the radio has passed from this world, into the realm of electron hell, don't despair.
I had to replace the factory Delco radio in my '96. I found one working like brand new on Ebay. As I recall, I paid $25 for it. Some fella was parting out a Grand Prix. Same radio as in the Sunfires. If you take this route, be sure that the radio you buy is unlocked, or that the current owner will include the pass code. Without one of those options, you'll have to pay a GM dealership a wad to get it working for you.
I just did a quick search on Ebay. There are about 30 radios for Sunfires, ranging in price from $9.99 to $30.

Yes, but you would need access to the software and hardware that the satellite radio provider has, and you would need the serial number off of the radio control unit. Unfortunately normal people will not have access to this stuff. In the event your car is stolen it could prove invaluable, though, even if your satellite radio is not activated. With the serial number on the unit, you could report it to the police and they would then contact the radio provider for tracking info. unless you work at one of the providers.
uh huh...i thought theyre supposed to be for your car. i dont know how to install though but your car shop can.
Something could be broke. You should get it checked out.
Maybe the subscription expired.

Can a xm satellite radio antenna be used for a cell phone antenna?
An XM satellite radio antenna cannot be used as a cell phone antenna as they use a different type of connection. Satellite signals operate on a different frequency from cell phones and use different technologies in their antennas as well.
Does satellite radio work in inclement weather?
People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.

Can you use a home Sirius satellite antenna in your car?

Why can't I get AM stations on my XM radio?
XM is a satellite radio and comes to you via satellite. AM doesn't need to use satellite to broadcast it uses a radio band. If AM needed satellite we wouldn't have had it since the 1920's.

Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.

Can you take your truck satellite radio and take it with us in the boat and use it?
Yes, you can use your truck satellite radio on your boat as long as you provide proper power and relocate the antenna, and as long as your boat stays in the footprint of the transmitting satellite. I only add that last part because a boat is a general term and could mean an ocean going vessel in which you could leave the foot print of the satellite radio service.
Why in satellite communication power at radio station is higher than at satellite?
Because of economics. On the ground you an afford to use a big transmitter and a big antenna, while on the satellite both have to be smaller. Therefore most of the power and the gain happens at the ground station.
How do you make a antenna for my mp3 players FM radio?
If the player enables radio it should use either an in built antenna of use the earphones as an antenna. Nothing more to buy or build.
Does a satellite high-speed internet connections use an antenna?
Yes, it use's a dish similar to satellite TV users.
Do walkie talkies use radio waves?
Yes. A good rule of thumb is that if the device has an antenna, it uses radio waves. An antenna would not be needed if it didn't use radio waves.
Can you use a home Sirius satellite antenna in your car?
Sure you can. Just wrap it around your car's antenna.
