Satelite radio question... VIN doesn't match prewire, but has SAT button? (03 MY)
Satelite radio question... VIN doesn't match prewire, but has SAT button? (03 MY)
Hey, so the car I am buying is an 03 with the last 6 of the vin ending in:
209821
Now on http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/pro...roducts_id=285
"Before purchasing please check & see if you are pre-wired for this unit, for 2003 the VIN rages are as follows, (these go by the last 6 digits of your VIN):
Sedan VIN: 321894 & higher
Coupe VIN: 210827 & higher
All 2004 and later cars are pre-wired from the factory. "
Now if you see I have an EARLIER vin then what should be a pre-wired unit.
BUT
THe previous owner said the car has an SAT button - and when you press the sat button, it has SAT 1, and SAT 2...
he installed an ipod hookup in the back of the headunit and noted these 2 plugs (sat 1 / sat 2)
Does THIS in fact mean the car is prewired for xm?
Do all G35s have an SAT button or no?

Do all G35s have an SAT button or no?
can anyone answer even 1 of the 2 questions?
Do all g35s have an SAT button, or those with more knowledge, tell me if its prewired since it has SAT button + sat 1, sat 2?

Not all G35s have a SAT button. The early 03's did not.
A car can have a SAT button and fall below the 210827 VIN, which means you have to buy and install the sat cable. This is the case with the car you're looking at. My 03.5 sedan was not prewired but has the SAT button.
All 04 and up sedans and coupes come prewired for sat.
