'07 base system
I have asked so many questions about this that I've lost track of where/what I've asked. I have been getting so many "opinions" yet no one seems to know the real answer.
Local shop SWEARS he can add a module to my BASE '07 system. On the forums it seems the majority think I need the base '08 system to add the module and have it work through the head unit.
Do I take a gamble that the local guy knows? He has to order in the "parts" and if it doesn't work, he will allow a credit toward an aftermarket system + I gotta pay labor. Hmmmm
PLEASE, anyone have 1st hand info?
Thanks,
Don

If this guy claims there is any difference in the systems from '05-'08 aside from the addition of the AUX port in '08 then he doesn't know what he's talking about....

It is the XM receiver "module". The '08 aux port is what enables XM to be added to it and NOT the '07?

Though now I understand what you were originally asking I unfortauntely still can't answer the question with any certainaty. XM can be integrated like a factory install by your dealer, but I have no experience with the base system so I don't know if it's possible with that. If XM was offered as an option (I'm now 2 years removed from the buying process) for your car then it should be able to be added.
