hey if i have a deck that says sirius radio ready, can i get just the antenna and the service and hook it up to the deck or will i need the docking station and the receiver?
i just read on sirius.com my deck is sirius ready, has all the controls built in =) all i need to do is connect the antenna to it, which i get for free *** i work at radioshack! haha
What radio? Just because it has controls doesn't mean you only need an antenna, generally, at least on most radios (Like Clarion's) it requires an external box, AND the antenna.....

Ready means your deck is set up for a tuner. If it was a direct xm/sirius tuner built in (like some new alpines) it would just say XM/Sirius. Chances are you need a box + antenna.
Sirius is a gotta have if you drive all day like I do!!! My kenwood requires a seperate tuner for Sirius (Which I have & use habitually, FM sucks now - too much whitenoise) Your deck probably just controls the tuner and requires the seperate unit too it's like having CD changer control, with no CD changer included... The only negative I have about Sirius is their choice of antennas - the only one (happens to be a SR20) that fits mine has a 3 inch "tail" of plastic protecting it at the base and on my NX there isnt 3 inches of straight space to tack it down... I had to ghetto it sideways into the hatch... oh well... If you have a kenwood head unit PM me as I have a spare tuner I'd be willing to sell - then youd just need the control cable from Kenwood and the antenna.... (I swap mine between my Truck and NX so I used both cables and antennas)...
New antennas are coming from terk. They are the same profile as the small xm ones. They do have a tail but its not necessary to have them, it's removable on the new ones. Also new tuners are coming. Check this out. http://www.siriusbackstage.com/forum...cee8 74a059db
the stuff is cheap now. I paid 200 for my reciever and another 50 for the antenna 
.. there like 50 bucks now
