sharing some factory satellite radio information 2009 models

[samwood]

Nissan dealer and part suppliers are providing a lot of misinformation on the ability to add satellite radio to the Versa. Many claim the below listed part numbers will only work with 2007 models. I just installed the Sirius tuner and antenna successfully in an 2009 (with the upgraded radio w/convenience package.) I believe these will work in all model years that have the upgraded radio. You just need to verify the pre-wiring is in place (connector behind driver's side trunk/hatch interior panel)

How much did the equipment run you? Right now I'm driving 6 miles roundtrip to work but I just accepted a new position with another company and will soon be driving 100 miles roundtrip. I'd like to get my Sirius back and I don't mind having a seperate tuner but it would be nice to have it all in one.

For the tuner, bracket , and antenna it was around $300 US from dealerfit.com. Not cheap compared to aftermarket RF universal tuners, but its fully integrated with the factory radio and steering wheel controls.

for $300 bucks, i would buy a Sattelite compatible aftermarket radio, and kit for the radio, would run about 300 or less depending on radio you get, now if you do have steering wheel controls, not sure if you would be able to get them to work or not

I would like to do the same install in my 2009 Versa SL. Can you give me more detail about where to find the pre-wiring connector.
