igcitng Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Unless something has changed, like using the usb, they have to take out the radio and wire it from the back. I had one installed on my old truck and it fried the battery and wire harness. There are a few different screen views available on the radio display. None of them work for you?

securinu Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 http://www.xm-radio-satellite.com/index.as...&ProdID=280 will extend the factory antenna forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 try these guys.. http://www.tss-radio.com/ BTW, the module is located in the rear of the Edge. back in the sidewall on the Subwoofer side IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex, I'd like to put in an Pioneer DVD HU, but want to use the factory installed Sirius antenna on my Edge. I looked at tss radio, but I'm sure if I need a certain adapter. Any help is appreciated.... Thanks :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baum Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 i would look at the tuner in the back, most of the time the antenna plug is the same as the aftermarket ones. so all you may need is that extension cable, or just place your new tuber in rear where the factory one is.

Lex Talionis Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 have you contacted Pioneer and just ask them? In the past, I recall either reading here or elsewhere (IIRC) that the factory antenna tip can be different than the HU and that you will need an adaptor. And that there are like 2 types of tips??? That is why I pointed you to TSS as I seem to recall they have adaptors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_edge Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 igciting, with the plug and play displays on certain models, all of the single line displays on the factory radio are viewable at once. that is why i want to go the the plug and play radio. will also save on subscription. i currently have two fords and a plug and play unit on my account. while i can only listen to one at a time, i am paying for three.

securinu Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 you wont need any adapter all you need to do is pull the plastic off the factory antenna connector and mount the unit in the same spot. The antenna will slip right onto the tuner just use a touch of silicone to keep it in place . then you can use the power from the factory harness as it has power and ground that the new tuner needs. then all you will need to do is run the data cable forward.
