The new TV we just bought has Sirius radio with a free, time-limited subscription. Thinking we might like to keep it after it expires and even add its capabilities to the TT. Questions:1) Can I just buy a "home kit" and plug it into the AUX port of the TT's entertainment system?2) Does a single "subscription" entitle you to use it on as many physical radios as you care to use?I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on the issue.Thanks

Of course that won't work for fixed vehicle installations. I have 3 subscriptions: one for the truck (in dash), one for my bedroom portable unit, and one for my smartphone.

we had one in our TT it was installed by the factory. - as far as I know all the radios require a separate subscription. you might need a separate antennae.

Not sure what you are using for TV signal in the rv but if it is satellite Sirius/XM is included in many of the Dish packages. Just a thought...

Truck came with one and us it all the time. Have a boombox with a raido in the 5er, and one at home. The one in the 5er I use when taking DW's car somewhere with just a car kit with dash antenna.

I wish there were different initials for Tow Vehicle and Television. TV & TV. Sometimes it's a bit confusing.

We use the Starmate portable plug-in radio with a dock in the truck and a dock in the fiver. The truck dock is plugged into the Aux input on the truck radio; the fiver dock is plugged into one of the Aux ports on the stereo amplifier that drives the surround sound in the fiver.

We have an "Ala Carte" subscription that gets something like 50 channels of your choice for $8.99 per month. Se have been considering dropping it since Sirius has cut way back on their NPR coverage this season - lost one of two NPR channels and lots of repeats on the remaining one. Too bad there is no competitor out there!

Streaming WiFi would be an option, but the cost would probably be more than the Sirius.
