I have an Alpine CDA-9855 radio that is SAT-radio ready, so I just need to add a tuner/interface and antenna.

I will source the tuner/interface that is Alpine specific but I'd like an OEM Mini Sirius antenna to preserve stock appearance and avoid another appendage stuck on the car.

Anyone got the part numbers and prices?

Thanks!

 

I'll look up the price when I get back to the house, it was an easy install, although you definitely need the 18(?) mm wrench before beginning. Only way to hold the inner lock nut when tightening it. Easy mod other than that, used the MINI unit and did the whole thing in 1 1/2 hours. Works great. I also got a stub antenna to go in the MINI base unit (Mini Mania sells) to avoid the "radio control car" look.

 

When you get the antenna, can you pretty please take a couple of pictures of it, especially the underside. I am trying to figure out if I can adapt it for XM by placing the antenna inside the shell.

 

This is about the only way to use aftermarket Sirius and XM with the oem antenna....https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=32816

 

If you will be taking pics, please snap one of the end of the sat. radio lead/connection. I'd like to be able to splice the terk antenna cable into the MINI antenna.

 

Unless you use a 2 line receiver antenna (satellite and terrestrial), you can't use the OEM MINI antenna. Otherwise, you will get an error message on your receiver telling you that you have and antenna problem. There is no recombining unit for 2 line antennas. There are only splitters for single line antennas.
