I currently have a Clarion dxz955mc cd player, and would like to get satellite radio. Since it's sirius compatible, I would rather get a tuner that works so I can control it from my HU rather than a seperate interface...where can I get one, and are they even availible up here?
I was browsing the Future Shop website and they only have the stand alone versions...

I called a local shop about this tonight, I think you want the SIRCL1 unit. http://www.sirius.com/servlet/Conten...=1080597647954

Looks like about $150 here. Canadian model should be available soon, according to this shop.

Yes Erikson distributes the Sirus Branded product and SCL does the XM Branded product.

The Sirus One and Starmate will run through December. Once we get through that other higher end models will be sure to follow as well as some of the add-on boxes for the Sirius compatible radios out there.

I'm sure some of the majors will also launch Canadian product after Christmas or sooner.
