HELP PLEASE....
Hello everyone and happy holidays.. now i am new to this forum....i recently traded my 02 pathfinder in on an 07 murano sl awd. i know this may be a stupid question however i cannot seem to find the sat radio in the stereo...i havent picked up the vehicle yet but spent some time in it at the dealer. they are not familiar with it since they arent a nissan dealer. it has navigation and rear view camera but i assumed '07 Murano SL with the Bose 6 disc changer had satellite radio built in. i tried pressing the mode option and it only gave me option of fm or am radio. there is no satellite button. so how do i know if it has it or not? thanks

Satellite radio is an option which, I would guess, was never installed in your car. Radios (like the Bose system in our Mos) that are satellite ready do not have a satellite receiver built in. That has to be added.
Besides the relatively high price Nissan commands to add satellite to your car, portable or plug and play satellite receivers offer a number of advantages. My kids and I all use Sirius Stiletto receivers in our cars. Though they are not as neat (ie they require a dock and an extra cable or two) and aren't controlled through the normal stereo controls, they can be played and recorded with in your house and even portably. Sirius is also way more flexible with their subscription policies (like the lifetime subscription I have) with portable receivers as opposed to those built into your car.
One other thing - the price of the high end Sirius receivers has come down considerably in recent months. The Stiletto S2 which sold for $330 when introduced just 2 years ago, can now be found for $99 if you shop around. And no, I don't work for Sirius - I just believe in the product and service.

Re: HELP PLEASE.... (nafddur)
thanks for your reply and advice. im assuming it doesn't have it either considering the owners manual says to press mode until the satellite radio shows up and when i did so only am and fm options were available to me. bummer.. have a great holiday.

Not necessarilly a bummer - the portables work great. Just that the controls aren't as neatly integrated into your existing car stereo. But, as I explained, the subscription options are far more flexible with portables.jnyce001 wrote:thanks for your reply and advice. im assuming it doesn't have it either considering the owners manual says to press mode until the satellite radio shows up and when i did so only am and fm options were available to me. bummer.. have a great holiday.
Happy Holidays to you as well and enjoy your Mo. We're just over 5 years and 71K miles on our 04 SE with nary a problem, and still love it.
