SkydiveStMarys 0 #1 June 4, 2006 Ok...so my hunny ordered a satellite radio (Sirius) for me and it was delivered friday...he left to go pick up a vehicle that he purchased off of Ebay (early friday morning)...so needless to say he is still away, he had to drive home with the new vehicle (1100 miles), and I really want this installed in my truck today. The instructions look pretty easy...how hard can it be? So can I do it? Has anyone installed a satellite radio in their car or truck?? I don't have to take anything apart, right? Just plug in, and activate, right? Am I gonna fuck this up?? Who has faith in me?? BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Sockpuppet 0 #2 June 4, 2006 Erm....dont know what Sirius is but isnt it just like a normal radio? ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leapdog 0 #5 June 4, 2006 Ask yourself are you mechanically inclined? Do you have the right tools? Do you understand the instructions? There are lots of times I won't touch someting to fix it because I'm simply just not sure I will do it right.

Jumpah 0 #6 June 4, 2006 For a temporary setup, if your receiver can broadcast through radio frequency, just plug your receiver in, run the antenna out between a door and stick it on the roof (magnet antenna), and tune to 87.7 or 87.1 (or whatever your receiver says). This will take you 10 minutes until you get a more permanent installation done. Congrats...I've had sirius for almost a year and can't imagine life without it =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_Copland 0 #13 June 4, 2006 Packaging is often the hardest part. I mean i bought a pair of kitchen scissors once and i couldnt open the fucking thing, was in a vacuum of plastic. Well i didnt even have a pair of scissors to open the bastard thing. Ended up with a great fuck off kitchen knife nearly taking my arm off1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.
