I hate this unit. I bought this plus the CNPJVC1 to fit my JVC deck.
First of all it needs to be programmed to the particular head unit. This should be pretty straight forward, but it's far from it. The website which is listed as the site to download drivers no longer exists. So after hours of searching I found the new site voxxintl.com/xmdirect. However, the programming "ONLY" works if Microsoft Explorer is your default browser (My default browser is Firefox) Arrgg!!!! So, from the site I just provided, you must download the software packet. The rest of the programming details are listed on the website.
The connectors are very flimsy, and there is no explanation on how to make the 12V connection. After some research I found that the yellow wire + the inline fuse need to be connected to the 12v constant from the deck. The black wire should be grounded.

Reception is really average. Programming it can be a pain if you're not computer savvy.

I have this on my Jensen head unit. Constantly have to unplug it to restet it. Not sure if it's the xm mod or the head unit with the issue.

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.
