Wanting to Add Sirius

[BeachMommy1]

Hi all. I just bought a used '08 Edge (and I LOVE it)! I want to add Sirius radio if at all possible, and am curious how to best go about this. Currently, the system is the basic CD/MP3 arrangement. What are my options on adding Sirius? Would it be better to purchase a Sirius radio and have it installed someplace like Best Buy, or go with a Ford factory option? What are the costs of each?

 

Thanks for your help!

I am a snob for havng things built in, but if it doesn matter to you it is more than likely cheaper to add it.

Hey, I took an Edge off the lot and I got a well appointed SEL, but did not have Sirius installed. This kinda sucked but I have a Sirius Sportster unit and instead of using the FM transmitter, I now use the line out to the audio input in center console, although I haven't hid that cable or the antenna cable yet, it can be done real nice. Also the antenna works ok hid inside the windshield.

I have features a standard indash Sirius/Ford radio doesn't have, but it is nice to have it indash. I found the little nook, next to the 12v outlet, to squeeze the unit in & plug right in. So far it sounds great (a lot better than the fm trasmitter) and I have the little remote so for a Man it's perfect...LOL!

You can get bare bones unit (smaller will fit better in that nook) for $50 or a Sportster Model with the 45 minute review funstion (kinda like a tive for the Sirius) for like $125.

Best of luck!.
