The only thing I miss about the Captiva is the Sirius XM radio. Need suggestions about a Sirius XM receiver that connects through the blue tooth (or through the USB) port. I would think power would come from the cigarette lighter. Technologically challenged here so be kind.

I just use Android Auto (Apple Carplay) and the XM radio App. Works great and controlled by the car screen. Plus you get more channels than standard XM in a car.

You have an I phone? I have an Android. Right.

I have Android

Yes, all you do is plug in your phone and your car screen controls siriusxm. It's free and no equipment to buy.

Watch the complete video here for instructions, but I queued it up at the point where he uses the app on the car screen.




Here's Tim Bartz showing how to use Android Auto on a Ford product. He brings up the Sirius XM app option as well. They all work about the same.

Make sure you have a good data plan, this is the best bet. Sirius knows satellite is dying with how good cell coverage is. That's why they push the app so hard.
