Convert non-nav 2013 CRV XM to Sirius

[JZSlenker]

I just bought a 2013 Honda CRV. What can I do to convert the factory XM radio to Sirius? It seems like all the older interfaces (hon-sc1) don't work on CRVs past 2011. Is there no way to make this happen. I really don't want to mount a sportster to the dashboard.

Welcome to DRC and on your new purchase. I believe this might do it? Honda and Acura SIRIUS Connect HON-SC1 | TSS-Radio Blog

The HON-SC1 will replace the XM unit under your dash and the SCC1 will allow you to use the existing radio, it mates the system and translates the info from the tuner. I would check out or call TSS Radio, they would be able to help you out.

We haven't carried the HON-SC1 for a while, but even Pac-Audio/iSimple who makes a lot of interfaces don't show the 2013 CR-V as an option for an interface that you are looking for. So I would guess there is something about that model/year that prevents this kind of conversion.

Ah crud. I was afraid of that. Do you think there is any hope of an interface coming out that would work? Is there a way at least to use the existing factory XM antenna with a sirius radio.
