This tuner works well in conjunction with my JVC head unit. There are three sets of preset channels (6 stations each) with this installation. It was installed in a 2011 Honda Civic.
The instructions are quite explicit about mounting the XM satellite antenna on the top of the car, not inside or on the dashboard. My installer found a neat way to install the antenna on the roof, just above the point where the rearview mirror attaches to the windshield. The antenna is much smaller than the one on my previous 2005 Civic with factory Nav/XM unit, about 3.5cm on a side. The antenna is hardly noticeable on top of the car, even though it's in front. Reception is excellent, better than the XM in my previous car.

I wound-up using a standard Sirius receiver into a four channel mixer then into the aux jack. I use the other channels for other aux channel inputs to the radio. Cool.

The only problem that I am having for the second time is this XM Direct losing it connections with my JVC car system and I had to go back to B*** B** twice to have them reset it. The tech suggested placing a switch on the XM Direct system so in case it goes out again I can reset the sytem using he switch, but it is annoying that this is happening but it sounds great.

First, YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS XP. XP is the only platform that works, not Vista, not 7, just XP.
With that said, the programming is simple. Install the software from the given site, open it, connect the module via given USB cable, and click on your head units info and click program. Connect the XM Module and specific cable to the Audiovox module, plug it into your head unit, activate it, and enjoy.
I had no problems with it, except the Windows XP issue, it works great, and the install was easy. Just remember to program the module before you install it.
