Keep your ride loud with the best sound!

I have a BOSE in y Miata MX-5. Do I need to purchase / Install something to activate SiriusXM? Thank you!

All you would need to do is call the SiriusXM sales weasel and buy a subscription - *if your car has the satellite module*! Pop the trunk and look at the underside of the deck lid. If there is a plastic box-like thing there, then all you need to so is buy the subscription. If it is not there, you would need to get the module/antenna installed to get it to work.

My car does not have the module installed, yet on the front of the radio there is a button for satellite radio. It just does not do anything when it is pressed. Now, my other car, does have the module and will actually pick up a few stations, even tho I do not have a subscription. Those are the "free" preview channels to get you sucked into calling them and spending money.

Hope this helped.
