No you can not add Sirius to the factory radio. You can trick the disc player in the back into playing an add on Sirius radio but you will lose the ability to use the disc player. Also XM has much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! better reception as far as not cutting out near trees, buildings, tunnels , etc. I have Sirius in my 06 CS and had XM in an 04 Yukon. No comparison XM way better reception around the things mentioned earlier. Quality is so close I can't tell the difference, programming is personal.Good luck!

I just finished installing the Nav TV Sirius tuner and Tooki blue tooth kit on my 08 CTT.
For the most part the tuner works good, occasional dropout when passing under a bridge in areas where there is not a repeater. The Nav TV integration software is not perfect, I have a problem when I first start the car and turn the radio on. The display is blank but the tuner is playing the last station it was tuned to. Turning the radio off then on seems to solve the problem.
The sound quality is excellent, superior to XM. When I listen to XM there seems to be allot of compression, sounds like a bad MP3.
If your car came with the factory XM kit you can use the stock XM antenna.
The tooki kit works OK but it can only address about 255 numbers. Most of the options that come up on the display do not function as well. It's not that the tooki kit is not working, it's because the tooki kit attempts to emulate the factory kit.
