Darn. I was hoping someone had the answer to retrofitting the Edge with SDARS. I'm starting to think the expensive kit the dealership sells is the only way to retrofit the car with Sirius radio. I'm not even sure why my Edge says "Satellite ready" on the window unless it only means the ACM is sat ready. A post over at Edge-Central seems to indicate that there is a conflict between the SYNC module (APIM) and the preinstalled harness that came with the Edge. I'm not about to spend over 400 bucks for the Sirius kit just to get the replacment harness so maybe I'll modify my existing harness and bypass the APIM to feed the Satellite audio directly to the head unit (ACM).

No. I have the 6 CD unit with the AUX button. After plugging in the existing satellite harness at the rear of the car, I can access Sat 1, Sat 2 and Sat 3 by pressing the AUX button on the head unit. Channel names and song titles display correctly. The only problem I'm having is that I have no satellite audio. Sirius says I should be able to hear audio on channel 184 before activating the unit.

SDARS model 8S4T-18C963-AG. SYNC works fine.

See Keyless Reprogram Keypad thread.

The link isn't working for me.

Great! Here's one for you. My 2008 Edge Ltd said Satellite ready on the window sticker. I purchased a used SDARS on ebay. I plugged it into the harness at the rear of the Edge. The 6 CD head unit recognizes the unit and everything appears to be working. Sirius says I should be able to hear audio on channel 184 even if the module has not been activated but I have no audio on channel 184. Do I need to have the APIM reprogrammed to get audio?
