Do I still need a SiriusXM tuner if replacing satellite radio? I have a siriusxm stock radio in my Ram 1500. Do I need the tuner or is there already one in the truck?

To my understanding, Sirius and xm were competitors. But now Sirius bought xm.....hence Sirius Xm now, old equipment is not compatible. Reason why you have to buy new Turner and antenna. I myself have tried everyway to get around trying to buy all new equipment but eventually I broke down and did the upgrade.....I have to say it was well worth it in the end.

This Kenwood requires an external satellite tuner (mounts behind dash). I strongly suspect that your truck also has a separate tuner that you could re-use, but be aware that Best Buy currently (April 2016) takes $40 off the satellite tuner if you buy this radio, making it about $3.99. There are some recent upgrades that probably make it worthwhile to get the new one.
