I'm looking to get a Sirius Tuner for my deh-p960MP pioneer primier headunit.

There are two choices from what I can tell:
the older SIR-PNR1
the newer SIR-PNR2

Does anyone know if there is any actual difference? the PNR2 looks slightly smaller, but that dosent really matter for me... and I think the antennas are the same size too. Is there any functional differences between the two models?

Also, does anyone know how it will work with my headunit? the maunual says it will read it as an "external Unit"... what does that mean? Will I still be able to control it threw the actual deck with no external, ugly, dash-mounted units?

PNR1 = ~$50
PNR2 = ~$100
What do you guys think? anyone working in the bissiness know any of these anserews?

 

you will use the sir-pnr2, And it will be controled thru the deck.

 

I'd use the sirpnr1 if it were me, purely for cost.

Unless of course wrx knows something I don't?

 

yeah whats teh difference? the Older one is still controled through the deck I believe...
Only diffirence I see is

"New features for this model include:
Game Alert: Prompts when your favorite teams are playing at start of game and when scores
Game Zone: Lists your favorite teams' scores "

I dont really need this option because it basicly cost $50....

But what do they mean when they say:
