When I bought my xB a couple months ago, I opted for the base stereo (with the intention of upgrading at a later date) and the Sirius kit.

Now I'm ready to purchase a new multimedia system. I've had my eyes on the Alpine IVA-W205. I like the iPod interface and the fact that I can add GPS at a later date (it's not in my budget right now). I was about to make the purchase online when a thought occured to me: will I be able to use my existing Sirius antenna with a new head unit, or am I going to need to buy Alpine equipment to listen to satellite radio?

If I do need to buy new Sirius gear, that's going to be a dealbreaker for me. Assuming that's the case, are there any models compatible with the factory Sirius kit that I already have installed?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I bet if you call Crutchfield they'd be able to answer your question.
