I purchased this product for use in a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe with factory XM Radio. I prefer the music and comedy on Sirius to that available on XM. Even though the companies are trying to merge, I also like using a portable satellite tuner so I can have satellite radio in both my vehicles and my home without having to pay for multiple subscriptions.
I use this tuner interface with the SCVDOC1 portable tuner dock, a Sportster 5, and an adapter that allows me to use the factory XM roof mounted antenna. The Sportster 5 is mounted in the glove box. The OEM radio display shows the proper Sirius category, channel name, channel number, artist, and song title. The OEM radio display scrolls when song or artist names are more than 16 characters, just like it does for the factory XM Radio. Sound quality is good and all of the factory radio controls work, including the steering wheel mounted controls. One point to note is that channel up/down on the steering wheel will not allow you to scroll through Sirius presents, it always does channel up/down. It is not a big deal as you can just reach over and push the preset button you want on the radio itself.
Overall, it is a great product that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to install Sirius in their Honda/Acura.

I had XM in my Honda Accord but when I changed to a Ford Fusion, I got Sirius. Although they have merged, the billing does not seem to have. So I wanted to get Sirius in the Odyssey (which was “XM Ready”) so I could consolidate accounts. I purchased this and took it to an Audio Installer who put this in with the appropriote Sirius tuner. Works great and did not mess up the 6 CD changer or integrted DVD. BTW – I probably paid too much for installation $125 … but it was well done so c’est la vie.

Just got the hon-sc1 and i love it, i removes my old sirius radio that was cluttering my dash with wires. i would highly recommend this for your Honda/Acura.
I was told by directed elect. that it would not work with my 07 Civic SI w/o nav. bought it anyway and guess what? it works.

I had a couple of installation issues to deal with. 50 minutes on hold, then transferred and placed on hold again until I ran out of time. 2nd attempt-35 minutes on hold until I gave up. 3rd attempt by email 10 days ago and still no response. I guess my only option is returning it. Thanks for wasting my time, misDirected Electronics. FAIL!
