Default Sirius or XM

I have an 06 that came w/ XM radio. But I want to change it to Sirius. Is there anyway I can do this, without having to cancel the XM and install a new sirius radio device?

I heard that Sirious recently bought XM out....not sure if its true. If so, this might mean that they could merge their programming.

Nah Sirius hasnt bought XM, in actuality I think XM should have more money due to how much sirius splurged on Stern (but I could be wrong) . Might be nice if they merged.

Either way back to the original topic, I think you'd need a different headunit unless you planned on installing sirius through one of the external car thingys and routing the sound through one of the aux solutions for the Z. This way you can keep xm and sirius at the cost of having one of those on dash tuners for sirius.

Search around I'm sure someones tackled this.

There's an article about it on CNN Money. I guess Sirius is just catching up marketshare-wise. Not surprising, since Sirius came to the game later, and has a bit more premium content (not including sports, which seems to change from year to year).

I have Sirius in my Z, XM in my truck and Sirius at home. If I were to do it all again, I'd just do XM only. They have more of what I like music wise. I could give a sh*t about Howard.

I have a 2005 35th Anni car that came with Bose CD6 but recently I installed the single disc from a 2005/Replaced all speakers and added an aftermarket amp. (Bose was skipping like crazy) The radio appears to have all the connections for Sat. Can I not add factory XM to this radio? The XM radio on display at the nissan dealer was not Bose CD6.

Thanks
Bill
