A:AnswerCall up Siris and explain your situation. We have had siris for years but every once in awhile you have to straighten them out. It normally doesn't take to long on the phone and make sure you get the 3 free months.
A:AnswerDepends on your head unit. OEM and aftermarket stereos have different capabilities. There is a way to make it work in pretty much any vehicle. If OEM, check out your vehicle's owner's manual for specifics. Aftermarket stereos, is there an auxiliary port?
A:AnswerThis unit should really fit in any vehicle. Unit placement will be probably your most time consuming part of installation. I chose to use the AC Vent Clip install method and it works brilliantly and is not in the way of other controls. I was able to tuck wires into trim areas both inside and outside the car and didn't need any tools at all. I highly recommend giving the installation a try on your own as it really is pretty simple and a professional quality installation can be obtained pretty easily.
A:AnswerThis is a satellite based service so it may not reach as far south as Venezuela.
I have seen a comment from someone in Rio Dulce, Guatemala claim that they are getting Sirius radio (not XM) reception. XM does not seem to work south of the Yucatan in Mexico.
A:AnswerThe truck's radio must have an FM mode to provide an otherwise unused "channel" to receive the XM signal. An 'AM only' radio will not provide the proper interface. That '76 Chevy is probably worth the purchase of one of the integrated AM/FM/XM/CD units. Try one that does not require "in-dash" installation to preserve the original truck radio. By the way, most AM radios will be overwhelmed by Radio Frequency interference (i.e., static} in the presence of the signal produced by an XM Radio converter. If you plan to used the AM radio, make sure that the FM converter can be switched off when the XM radio is off. Good luck.
A:AnswerDifferent places charge what they will but it’s easy to install and you could probably do it yourself but if you do have a place install it then shop around and look for your best deal and make sure they are reputable
