Has anyone updated the stock radio/Sirius and if so with what.

Kaputnick-

That is a Magnadyne M9900CDS radio. The manual is here.

It is a 1.5-DIN-sized radio, so drop-in replacements are hard to find. Some folks buy a Magnadyne 1-DIN adapter (link here), and install a 1-DIN radio of their choice. Magnadyne sells a 1-DIN radio (link here). If you read the product page, you'll find that Magnadyne will build you a free plug-and-play wiring harness to put a new Magnadyne radio in the place of your old radio. This reduces the effort (and potential errors) of the replacement.

Other folks will buy through Crutchfield.

Some folks will open up the dash to fit a 2-DIN radio. How difficult this is depends on how the dash is made.

If you get the adaptor from Magnadyne so you can use a single DIN unit, you are going to have a lot of options from all price ranges. I’ll also add a plug for Crutchfield, great selection and their service can’t be beat.

I know several folks on here have also gotten the adaptor and had their local Best Buy install a unit if you aren’t comfy splicing wiring.

Here's a pic (sorry for the orientation) of our single din 5.1 replacement for the 1.5 din OEM Magnadyne. We consider it an upgrade. It does everything the OEM did plus has "handsfree", bluetooth this n that, and weighs a quarter of the OEM. Sounds great through our 5.1 surround sound.



Except for Magnadyne, 1.5 din units a scarce. Single din are common and feature laden. We ordered the 1.5 to single adapter from Magnadyne although Best Buy, Walmart online, Amazon and most radio install shops in town have them.

Since the old Magnadyne was tango uniform anyway, I cut the wiring plug off to install on the new radio. (Otherwise. you have to buy a vehicle specific wiring harness)

Our radio is SiriusXM ready, as are the radios in our other vehicles and home theater system, but I am to cheap to pop for four subscriptions, so I have installed docking kits in all. That is the dock just above the HVAC vents. We simply move the SiriusXM radio module from dock to dock. The dock plays the the radio's AUX input.

Replacing a dash radio is one of those projects that is scary in contemplation, but simple in execution.

What’s a din? I’m looking to replace our Jensen front radio to upgrade to Bluetooth and have our Xm radio work again.

Single-DIN and Double-DIN are standard radio sizes.
