XM pre-wired?

Chilicat · 05-15-2004, 11:16 AM

I've been reading extensively on this topic. It seems that if you're XM pre-wired, there should be an XM decal on the driver's door jam. I checked and can't find that on mine. However, looking under my dash, I noticed a multi-pin (sorry, didn't check if it's 12 or 16) connector that runs back in towards the head unit. Is this the XM pre-wired harness? I'm not talking about the mega-pin connector attached under the dash where the driver's knee would be (which I figure that's a connector for Nissan mechanics to do diagnosis).

Btw, got my micro-antenna wire ran just like bvstone1 suggested, that's a great way to do it. Has anyone that's done that had problem with water leaks though? I'm paranoid that I didn't seat the light back firmly and will get a deluge into my rear passenger seats.

actually, u can buy the xm or sirius oem kits from grubbs!
none of the titans so far have been prewired.
the le and the ones with rf system should have been but they were not yet!
the cable is avail for 79.99
i got the complete sirius system for less than 400 this morning.

The only other thing under there would be the wiring for the brake controller (if so equipped). Mine has a sticker that clearly identifies it as for the brake controller. There are pictures of the XM NBUS cable in the installation instructions: http://www.leeauto.com/parts/titansatellite.pdf

I don't think you are going to see a "deluge". Maybe a little bit of water that will corrode the brake light connectors, though. You could always test it by spraying the hose on it for awhile and then taking a look inside. If you are really paranoid you could run a bead of GE Silicone II.

I have an LE and just installed XM in my truck this week. It was pre-wired! All I had to do was plug in the tuner with the cable that was taped up under the dash. My build date was in December I think.

My LE is pre-wired as well for XM and my build date is 10-17.

Just look under your dash. You can see if you have the NBUS cable or not (as shown in the pdf XM install instructions).

Ya, the nbus cable is there.. most are prewired. The cable isn't in exactly the same spot as in the instructions. Mine was in front of the amp, not tied down to the amp bracket. It was easy to pick out.

I have an XM Roady that I'd love to wire direct into my Titan audio system. I'm currently using a FM Modulator which I think the sound is really crappy. Is there a way to adapt a mini-jack (like used on the Roady) to the prewired system on the Titan?

wed from grubbs. Should be here any day now. They were the cheapest I could find. I'll let you know about the install. I can't wait. Going on a trip tomorrow and I have to listen to RADIO! Yuck.
