SIRIUS Starbase SC-FM1 Tuner System

The Sirius Starbase brings together the convenient installation of a Plug-n-Play and a clean dashboard installation. The package comes with everything you need: a SIRIUS tuner, an FM modulator, a dash-mountable display/controller, and a roof-mount SIRIUS antenna. The compact, easy-to-read display is perfect for vehicles with limited dash space.

The ultra-compact tuner box will fit under your seat easily. The FM modulator connects to your radio's antenna input, and the modulator then "broadcasts" the SIRIUS signal over an unused FM frequency (you can select any FM frequency, from 87.7 to 107.9).

• saves 30 presets

WARNING, VIDEO AND FAQ

Q: What's the advantage of the SIRIUS Starbase versus a SIRIUS Plug and Play Radio?
A: The Starbase fills in important gap for people that want a clean look and good sound. The control unit is small and can fit in many spaces that the plug and play radios can't fit into. Many car stereo installers like to use this unit on High End Cars like Mercedes Benz when the option of an Auxiliary Input adapter are too costly.
