Base upgrade to Sat Radio?

OK - Still trying to figure out if I can put the Sirius XM receiver into my base 2013 LR2. Don't really care about navigation or voice commands, but I really want the Sat Radio - not much to listen to as I drive through the rural Illinois each week.

I know that I'll need the Sirius receiver (module?) and an antenna. Anything else? Do I need to upgrade the entire audio system?


I've found an unoccupied connector in the on the left side of the rear area. Any idea what this connects to?

That's the plug for the hitch/trailer module.

Satelite Radio module requires a MOST connection so if you have MOST then yes It can be retrofitted.
Lowline Audio does not have MOST, Highline & Premium do have MOST.
Do you have 5" display screen or 7" Touchscreen, the later is MOST. MY15

Well, its a 2013, the first year of the redesign. From what I can tell, the screen is 7 inches wide.

Where do I find the MOST connection?

Here's a pic of the display. The manual mentions Sat Radio but mine is the base model.

Thanks!

Have you tried selecting the Satelite radio "softkey"?
The fact that you have the "softkey" present would indicate the Satelite radio module is connected.
It's subscription based so have you paid for access to this service? MY15
