Hey all,
I just got my new Fit a couple of days ago and luv it! I have a Sirius S50 sat radio and would like to hook up using the FM modular. If your not familar, I need to get to the back of the stock FM radio on the Fit and pull the antenna plug out and plug the Sirius in thru there. Does anyone have any info on removing the stock radio on the Fit?

 

Does it have to be directly at the back of the head unit? I installed several satellite radio kits and the one that needed to go around the antenna I just found the antenna cable at an easily accessible area throughout the vehicle. The reception seems fine.

Just a thought...

 

I got info from another forum on how to remove the radio. The problem now is that I will need a special antenna adaptor go from the standard Motorola to the Honda OEM DIN. OK, not such a big problem because I found the adaptor on-line. It gets worse, I called BestBuy (where I bought the Sirius radio) and spoke with the installation guy, he said they haven't had any luck using the antenna adaptors, he said you will lose about 90% of the stations with the adapotors. So it would seem that the only option is use the wireless transmission that comes with the radio (an S50) but that doesn't work that well (a lot of drift).

Has anyone hardwired a Sirius radio to a new '07 Honda??

 

If found an acceptable solution. I unscrewed the little rubber antenna off the roof. The sirius radios wirelessly transmit into the cars FM radio. You have to tune your cars radio to a unused chann. The problem especially in NY is there are a lt of chann. By removing the car antenna it helps reduce the signal of the weak chann reducing drift in the reception. I'd rate it on a scale of 1 - 10, between 8 & 8.5. I'm getting just a little bit of static. Reception at night is better. It works for me for now.

 

Did you get the Sport? It works much better with the Aux jack.
