Sirius radio
Has anyone added the Sirius radio connection from Ford to the Shaker 500?
I found the components that are in the trunk that connect to the head unit, but I don't know if I need anything else or if it will work.

Sorry, can't help. My Shaker 500 was already connected to Sirius with a free 6 month trial subscription when I bought my Stang in '07. Never thought you had to connect anything other than to subscribe to get it activated.

I'm trying to add it.
I have an external Sirius radio now.
I just want to clean up the dash.

I'm buying it today from someone who removed it from their car.
I also found the one from Sirius that you can connect to your stock radio.
Clarion makes the head unit so if you get this http://www.tss-radio.com/clarion-sir...ge-p-5545.html I think it will work.

I bought a factory Visteon kit from http://www.oem-auto-accessory.com and installed it myself. It's the same as the factory unit (works with the Aux button) except the antenna is magnetic, which I installed on the panel between the trunk lid and convertible top. For the coupe, the magnetic antenna probably wouldn't work as well.

An H harness is provided with the kit. You unplug the existing connectors from the dash unit, insert 2 of the H harness connectors in their place, than plug the existing connectors into the remaining 2 connectors on the H harness. Then you have to run the new harness back to the sat box.

OK, I got the unit, but it didn't have the harness.
My car doesn't have the harness prewired.
I called the dealership. They sent me to their radio dealer.
They have the wiring harness for $68.
I'm going to intaller the Sirius tuner near the Shaker 500.
So it is costing me $78 for the setup.
