A lot of us have the Sony MDX-60UI as our stock radio, which to me is fine, but some of us may want the benefit of the Satellite radio when were out on the water.
This head unit is XM Ready and compatible with XM radio and a kit can be added to make it function very nice. I just added this kit to my Sony MDX 60UI and since I already have an XM account it costs me 9 bucks a month to activate and use this on the boat. Everything plugs under the helm and can be zip tied out of the way.
The Sony XM Direct 2 complete kit is pretty much plug and play into the back of the radio plus running the xm antenna. The only caveat I have, is once you get the unit you have to program the XM interface adapter to interact with the Sony Radio which does require the computer, internet, downloading the sony drivers and uploading it to the interface. Once that's done the install is easy just plug to back and activate radio with XM and go.
Here is the link to the kit http://www.xm-radio-satellite.com/SONY_CNPSON1_XM_Direct_2_Tuner.aspx It has everything you need
Here is the link to the site to download and install the drivers into the XM interface for the Sony MDX-60UI http://www.voxxintl.com/xmdirect/
