Does the Sirius factory installed radio in the 2011's get the XM stations? I have Sirius in my 2000 and when the 2 merged I wanted the XM plus package however Sirius told me I would have to have a new radio capable of picking up both signals.

 

I guess it does - my package says that I get a handfull of XM stations -

 

Per the Ford Vehicles Sirius Satellite Radio web page, you only get 'The Best of XM.' The list of those channels is listed on Sirius'/XM's 'The Best of XM.' web page.

The main difference with 2011 model year is that they get this for free.

 

My understanding of the two is, Sirius and XM are still separate, but together. Uh, yeah! They share a handful of stations, but if you want all of both, you must have two radios. If there is one that is available on one, and not the other, you're outta luck. Sheesh, what a screwed up mess that is. They have a funny definition of "merger"!
