SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner

I unfortunately needed one of these because I have an older radio that's "Satellite Ready" and not "SiriusXM Satellite Ready" It does not accept a SiriusXM SXV300 Connect Vehicle Tuner so I had to hunt one of these down. i have been wanting to do this for a while because my Starmate 4 had been acting funny for quite some time, but was put off by the price of these units. I found one that was an open box deal with parts still in their bags for much less than new/sealed. Got it installed and mounted OK, everything works fine.My only gripes are for two minor reasons:1. The unit is slow to change channels and populate the metadata. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the speed of the SXV300 in my other vehicle - the metadata appears instantly - but it makes flipping channels a little frustrating and takes your eyes off the road for longer than necessary.2. The unit does not allow must customization on the way the metadata is displayed on the radio. It may also be partially limiting due to the flexibility of my radio, but it doesn't allow you to see ALL info on ONE screen. For example one screen shows song/artists but nothing else. The other screen shows channel name, song name, and category. I don't care about the category (does anyone?) and if I could only get the channel name to appear on the song/artist page I'd be happy as a clam. You can't change any of that and I believe it's because the SCC1 only feeds that info to the radio and doesn't allow for any flexibility.Again, those are minor complaints. Installation was straightforward and even running the antenna wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Like I stated in my review for the JVC KSSRA100, connection and hookup was easy; just a challenge to find space for all this equipment behind the dash.

Reference my other review about the Dice Duo for BMW. I connected this SCC1 tuner to the Dice Duo. Everything works perfectly. I have Navigation in my BMW X5 and the songs show up on the Navigation screen. This tuner integrated perfectly with the Dice Duo. I mounted the antenna inside the rear spoiler of my X5 for a nice clean installation. There are no signs at all that my car has satellite capability. The tuner box along with the Dice Duo fit nicely in a pocket located under the rear seat.At first I had a weak signal with the antenna mounted inside the rear spoiler. I had routed the antenna wire through the existing wire harness and down inside the body of the car. The base of the rear spoiler is plastic. I just put a dab of glue on the antenna to hold it in place and some felt on top to keep it from rattling. But this arrangement did not work out so well. I read that these magnetic mount antennas are designed to work best when attached to steel. So I got a small steel plate and glued that to the base of my rear spoiler. Then I just attached the antenna to this steel plate. It works. I have full signal strength now and the antenna is hidden inside the spoiler.

Previously, I had a SiriusXM "portable" installed in my Nissan Frontier. It was difficult trying to find a "convenient" location to place the portable while driving. I became frustrated with that setup and decided to purchase a new in dash satellite capable radio. After some research, I decided on the JVC KW-HDR81BT and this Universal Tuner. I had them professionally installed and works great. Trying to change radios and keep the same SirrusXM account turned out to be a real bear. As it was explained to me, Sirius has three platforms: XM, Sirius, and SiriusXM. My original "portable" radio was on the XM platform. The new tuner I purchased was on the Sirius platform. Therefore, you could not simply delete the old radio and add the new one on the same account. Almost an hour later and talking with two different SiriusXM representatives later, what should have been a 5-15 minute procedure was completed. SiriusXM said they were aware this was a problem and were working to change it.Pro's: Great productCon's: If you have a current satellite package, try to match the tuner to what you have. If your just adding satellite capability, it doesn't matter.I would recommend to a friend.

Purchased this unit along with the Sirius Sony SNYSC1 interface box. Connection is easy, but the unit lacks any indicators, so when after tearing the dash apart and connecting to the brand new Sony Sat-ready head unit and not receiving anything, it's hard to guess what the problem is. As an engineer, I followed a logical trouble-shooting path that pointed to a faulty power filter in the interface unit and hoped that would be it. I tried to get help from Sirius, but their idea for help is "take it to an installer", which I guess I understand since levels of qualifications for the DIY crowd are likely all over the map. The main concern is that there were three components - the Sony head unit, the SCC1 and the SNYSC1 and there's just no way to tell what's goint on with the Sirius parts - no indicator LEDs or anything at all indicating functionality. When the replacement interface box came, the unit powered up and was recognized by the head unit immediately and works as expected. Otherwise, installation is a breeze.

This worked perfectly with the iSimple ISDH11 kit in my 2011 Honda Civic Si. Do yourself a couple favors though: buy some zip ties and write down the SID on the bottom of the unit. Once you've got the dashboard closed, you won't want to open it again and you need the SID to subscribe. The zip ties are necessary in the Civic as there isn't a great mounting option.There is one item to mention: if you are an XM subscriber and not Sirius (same company but different subscriptions apparently), you can't add this to your existing XM account. You'll have to set up another package and will be charged separately. Minor inconvenience, but worth mentioning.All in all, this was a good purchase. The antenna that came with it isn't as strong magnetically as I would like, so I'd recommend the Sirius Dot antenna. It's also on Amazon. The antenna and the lack of product info about XM compatibility are the reasons for 4 stars instead of 5.

Bought this tuner that comes with an antenna. It looks like brand new and not even used. Much better buy then Marine Maxx CanadaBought the same thing there and they told me it did not provide an antenna even thou it says it dose in the description and there's even a picture that clearly shows an antenna is part of the deal, when contacted, they said that the antenna is not part of the deal and they didn't write the description on Amazon and told me to buy an antenna directly from their website. Which they have a SIRIUS Antenna listed for 148.99$ so basically its a complete ripoff. Pulled an antenna from this unit onto there's and realized that it didn't even work.Good thing I bought this as its a far better buy and works like a charm.

Have had this in my vehicle for quite a few years now and love my sirius radio! There are times the connection cuts out but am very thankful to have Sirius in my vehicle seen as my vehicle never came with it!

Installed this unit in our rv Jenson radio and it did not work.This unit was suggested by Sirous Xm. Finally contacted ASA Electronics who suggested a DP2500 unit. Worked fantastically. will will need to send the SCC1 back for refund.

Great product. Very easy to install.

Does what I needed it to do. I could not get it from Sirius directly. It was discontinued. Only Amazon had it!
