Frequent ask questions & troubleshooting
1. Does the AUX-HON03 work with the in-dash AM/FM 6-CD changer
radio?
YES; but a slave unit (SiriusXM Tuner, Slave Cassette or External CD
changer (usually installed in arm rest, hatch areas) is also required
otherwise the AUX-HON03 will NOT work.
2. My vehicle SiriusXM is expired, will this adapter still work?
YES; So long the SiriusXM Tuner is present the AUX-HON03 will work.
3. I have both a SiriusXM Tuner and external changer in trunk; do I need
to disconnect anything for the AUX-HON03 to work?
NO; the AUX-HON03 adapter requires at least one factory option. The
option could be SiriusXM Tuner, external CD Changer, Slave Cassette
or CD player in lower dash.
4. My radio has Sirius built-in, will the AUX-HON03 work?
YES; so long vehicle also has an external device such, external Cassette/CD
or CD changer)
5. I’m not the original owner and don’t know if vehicle has SiriusXM
Tuner. How can I find out without ripping the car apart?
Turn radio “ON”, press “XM” or “SAT” button. SAT 1 (XM1 etc.) should appear
on display and preview channel (184) should play otherwise vehicle does not
have the required SiriusXM Tuner.
6. I do have an external CD player/changer. Is it necessary to load Disc?
YES; at least one Disc must remain in the external CD/changer.
7. What does SiriusXM ready mean?
Sirius- or XM-ready means it is capable of giving you a seamless, fully
integrated satellite radio experience, but likely have to add a compatible
tuner. The AUX-HON03 adapter works only if SiriusXM Tuner box installed
with or without subscription.
** External or remote CD Changer refers to the optional Changer installed on the lower dash,
center armrest, hatch, trunk etc. (The CD Changer built-into the radio is not considered and
external CD Changer)
