Hey all I'm new to the Outlander (2 days owned) we have the 2008 XLS with the NAVI MMCS but not the Sun and sound package I have a Sirius tuner that I bought for an after market sterio.  My question is can I connect this to the DIN connector on the back of the MMCS and some how unlock or install the Sirius API software on the MMCS to make it all work or am I thinking wishfully?

The Sirius on the outie is control over the CAN system.  It is like the Sat Radio unit connects to the CAN and the audio of the unit is passed to the radio.  When you select the 4 diff sirius groups and 6 channels in each group, this info is passed thru the CAN system from either the NAV unit or Standard 6CD radio with sat option.
The Car CAN system must also be told that a SAT tuner is in the system.
You might just end up connection to AUX on the middle console or find it on the NAV unit head.
My question to you is, is the SIRIUS button ghosted or visable on the menu of the head unit?  If it is, you can tie the audio of your sat radio to it and have it come out of the RF amps like normal, but not tune you SAT stations from the NAV HEAD.

I think the SAT Option can be had kinda cheap on Ebay.

I hope this helps.. I have changed my 6CD to NAV and installed the Camera BAckup myself.

The butting isn't ghosted it is not even on the screen.  I figured the programming was either not installed on the head unit or it was hidden and needed to be unlocked for use.  Please tell me more about this CAN.  I am a Video teleconference engineer so I understand the basics of API and conference room touch screens and controls.  It sounds like the CAN is the brain box (like a PRO2 controller) for the MMCS.  I might be better off getting a Separate Tuner for Sirius and just adding that in.
