Installing XM Radio on my 2023 Gladiator Sport S...Have questions

[Bigtymin209]

So Im installing the after market Vias Kit, SXV300 tuner. My 7" did not come with XM however the antenna is installed. Im using the adapter to connect to the factory antenna. My question is does anyone know which connection is the sirius xm connection on the headunit? Nothing is labeled and three of the connections are the same. Does anyone have any experience doing this installation? Any help would be appreciated.

From your photo, it looks like all 6 of those plugs are different. I've installed several SXV300s on personal vehicles, but the OEM stereo had satellite radio to begin with, so I'm not familiar with your exact situation. I can tell you I've never had to plug in a satellite antenna (in addition to the AM/FM antenna) to an aftermarket stereo. I just assumed the satellite antenna was integrated into the harness somewhere. If you're using the AM/FM antenna as your Sirius/XM antenna too, I wouldn't know anything about how that works.

you do not have the entire package to connect the sirius tuner.

TheVais will connect using the USB plug on the dash, it does not connect directly to back of the radio.
the gladiator radio is not Sirius ready.
good luck with the USB connection.
mine is intermittent at best and next to impossible consistently.
I’m going to visit a dealer to resolve.
