Question Euro Comand

Hi everyone- 1st post!

Quick question...I've searched through the forums and haven't found a CLEAR answer on this.

I found THIS Euro Comand on eBay that I'm interested in buying, but want to know if I can add satellite radio to it WITHOUT using the AUX input, so as the channels will display on the display and dash? Also, I currently have navigation- will it work the same?

Also, think it's a good price?

Thank you in advance!

Your Nav should work the same without a problem, but I can't comment on the satellite radio... Very good question though, hopefully someone knows!

Anyone? This is ending soon, and I'd REALLY like to pick it up considering how cheap it is.

Yes, it will work with SAT. Not conveniently, but there is a workaround. You will have to change it's personality to US mode, which involves entering a code, changing a setting, turning off the ignition, open and close drivers door and waiting for about 1-2 minutes and turning it back on. Then the VIDEO button will be the SAT button and it will act like a US version. To play DVD Video discs again, you will need to repeat the same procedure and place it back in ECE mode.

Also, Navigation will work fine. You will be guided by a female voice with a British accent, and the Address Book works different. The street names are shown in the correct case as well on the map for some reason (Main St. vs MAIN ST on the US version).
