I would liek to replace my factory unit with a touch screen all in one (iPod, DVD, sat radio, etc...) I did this myself in my previous explorer but it did not have the factory Sat Radio in it already.

My question is, can I buy a unit that will use my current Sat Radio attenna or will I have to buy the behind dash receiver and attenna for Sirius as well? The iPod I will just run into the glove box like I did in my explorer

In my 2008, I was able to use the stock Sirius antenna. All you have to do is take off the little yellow clip at the connector end. You do have to buy a new Sirius tuner to go with whatever brand of stereo you buy.

I'm having my new system installed Monday or Tuesday according to the guy installing they will be able to use the factory Sirius antenna I'll let you know if that was the case once it's done

What head unit did you install as well??

The Pioneer Avic-Z110BT DVD receiver. also it seems the Sirius works better I didn't loose signal in the normal places that I usually lost it with factory head unit, but today was the first day I tried it (Sirius) since install finally called them last night to activate,so I guess time will tell.
