Hello all -I just purchased an 07 Armada the other day, and so far love it. Only problem is it came with XM preinstalled, but I am currently a Sirius customer. Dealer was a little hesitant about swapping the XM receiver for a Sirius one. Now I've done many a car radio install in my day, and was wondering if anyone knew the level of difficulty of swapping XM for Sirius? Also, where could I get the Sirius receiver, since I assume it's not built in to the factory system, but a small box like the aftermarket ones.

Thanks in advance!

First off, WELCOME TO NICOclub! Glad you are here! Please post some pics of your '07 beauty in the Photo/Picture Thread if you get a chance.

You should have no problem switching your receivers. On my '04 QX56 the receiver was located underneath the dash near just above the gas and brake pedal. I am sure you are both aware of this, but the XM & Sirius merger looks like it will soon be completed. Obvoiously we don't yet know exactly what this means, but it may be worth waiting before investing in a new receiver. You should be able to order the receiver from a Nissan or Infiniti dealer.
