Default "Sirius" Question

I recently installed a Kenwood DDX512. It work great, I love it. I had Sirius radio in my truck stock. I still have airtime on it. How do I get from the stock module to the new radio?

for the kenwood models you have to buy an adapter to be able to control all functions on the screen, when you get that you should be able to call sirius and just have them transfer it to the new unit

not unless you can get the factory wire to fit into the back of your unit (which it wont) and even if by some miracle u could, you wouldnt have the on screen options of changing channels, pre-sets...etc
