"Sirius Connect" Compatibility
Use a SC-C1 Sirius Connect Universal Tuner, or any of a number of Sirius Connect portable/transportable devices (sold separately). When your Sirius Connect device is connected, control and all audio come through the Pioneer headunit. The adapter sends station text/info to your Pioneer stereo's display, and lets you browse SIRIUS channels using your radio's controls.

Replay Function
Pause, rewind and replay up to 60 minutes of live radio with compatible Sirius Replay devices. (Available with FH-P800BT, FH-P8000BT, DEH-P700BT, DEH-P7000BT, DEH-P600UB, DEH-P6000UB, AVH-P5000DVD and AVH-P4000DVD only.)

Game Alert
This system can alert you when games involving your favorite teams are about to start. Just set up a game alert in advance, and you'll know when things are underway.

Game Zone
If your team is playing, you can display the score and other info from the game, even while enjoying the audio from a different station. You can also tune to the game broadcast channel, of course.

Pass-Through Connection
The CD-SB10 features pass-through connection for other Pioneer a/v add-ons, such as CD/DVD changers.

Would be better if combined with the tuner

For anyone wondering what this is, it is a device you have to have to connect your Pioneer aftermarket car radio to the SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner so you can get Sirius Satellite radio. Most, if not all, Pioneer radios do not have this built in for some reason, so if you want satellite radio, you have to buy it AND the tuner. I purchased it to use with the Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD 5.8-Inch In-Dash Touchscreen Double-Din DVD Multimedia A/V Receiver. Basically, think of your Pioneer car radio as a remote control, and this and the tuner as the actual satellite radio. Your Pioneer car radio can not actually receive a satellite radio signal and is only "satellite-ready" in the sense that it has controls for operating the SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner.

My main complaint is that I have to purchase a Bus Interface or tuner at all, and really feel this is a waste of money and space in my car. Other radios do it, so why can't Pioneer? And why does it have to be so big? In any case, since this is the only option for Pioneer Car Unit owners, I don't want to give this product a bad rating since it does indeed work, it's just frustrating that you have to buy it to begin with. It comes with all the cables you need and a mountain bracket that lets you screw it into your car if you want to. I just connected it to the tuner and shoved it behind the dash. It could be smaller, but it doesn't take up too much room since it's pretty slim.

On a slightly-related note, I should mention that the interface with the Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD 5.8-Inch In-Dash Touchscreen Double-Din DVD Multimedia A/V Receiver and some of the other Pioneer in-dash aftermarket car radios is absolutely awful. If I had it to do all over again, I would just buy a Sirius radio and install it on my dash rather than use my Pioneer tuner. Read my review of that radio for specific complaints.

Siruis solution for Pioneer receivers

The receiver does a great job of working with the Sirius SCC1 and pulling in stations for playback on my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT. Connection is easy and sound is great. The weakness is the inability to save the station name with the preset. Presets store fine and are persistent as long as you connect the yellow lead to the always on power and not accessory power (the bus takes care of switching the unit on and off, so the power must be always on to save your presets), but the presets don't display station names, so you have to remember what preset is what station. I'm not sure if this limitation is directly related to the supported head units or the CD-SB10, but I know the HD Radio tuner I use with my head unit does the same thing (stores presets but does not display the station IDs). If station IDs displayed, I'd give it 5 stars.

I don't know if it's the bus interface or my head unit, but my head unit will only tell me the station no. and artist name, or the station no. and station name. With a double din head unit I figured it would be able to tell me all three: station name, artist name, and song title... This is not new technology.

Head unit: pioneer avh 4100
and this sirius sb10 bus interface

Necessary item, does the trick

Review Date: June 29, 2009

Reviewer: Delamaine, Seattle Eastside

I just got a new Pioneer car stereo and wanted satellite radio. This item is required, and my Best Buy installer put it in with no problems. The installation also requires the Sirius Connect tuner SC-C1. Together they work seamlessly and invisibly with my new head unit and provide me with great satellite sound (except when we're under trees).

Done Right

Quick shipping. Was the wrong Bus Interface, but that wasn't the vendors fault - it was Pioneers! After some extensive rewiring and notifying Pioneer of their mistake, and sending them pictures of the fix (they've now promised to fix the problem) it works splendidly.

Share and Enjoy:
