XM to RB1

I tried a search and came up empty. I apologize if this has been covered.

Any new info on adding XM radio to an RB1? I just have the RB1 with no antenna yet. Would like to go with XM since the wife has it in her Honda. Any kits available? Thanks.

Edit - This is in an 04 2500.

i have tried everyting and am unable to hook up xm through the rb1, there is not an aux port on the back of the radio. I went with the roady xt because of the fm modulator the sound quality is not great, this was an expensive radio and personally am not impressed, just purchased a new alpine unit to replace so i can directly plug in both xm and my ipod.
If anyone wants an rb1 let me know

Are you sure you don't have an open port I have an MOPAR electronic splitter connected to a 10 pin connector on the back of my RB1 and the splitter has a 6 CD changer and the SIRIUS tuner connect to it and all works great.

xm works fine on rb1

this will plug in back of your rb1 it works fine except doesn't show all info at once you have to scroll through between name and artist.

Will that interface work with the RB1 for an Ipod? If that mopar adapter will work with a CD changer on an RB1, why would'nt it work for the Ipod? All the info I find on Ipod interface adapters, say they they will work with all Chrysler radios except the the Nav systems. I know the RB1 has changer controls built into it so I'm confused why an adapter/interface like that won't work with the RB1.

Check out this link guys, it seems that Crutchfield has no idea what they are talking about when it comes to the RB1 unit.

Thanks for the help guys. Looks like there may be at least one option with the RB1. But if anybody wants one, mine is up for grabs cause I don't need the navi.
