The parts guy at the dealer I bought my '06 Murano from says you can't get parts to convert the Bose 6 cd changer to xm. From looking at the owners manual and advertising this does not appear to be the case. Can someone tell me what the parts I need are and the approximate cost for dealer installation? Thanks.
Dealer says can't install XM Radio

I bought an '06 Murano SL in Feb. of '06. It is pre-wired for Sat. Radio XM or Sirius.
I had the dealer install the Factory XM kit before I took delivery. They installed the unit and an XM antenna. Antenna was installed on the roof near the back. Works like a charm.
Find another dealer. All the Nissan dealers should know how to do this install.
Good Luck!

"Thanks for the responses. Does the funny looking antenna on the '06 work with XM or will I have to install another?"
If you are talking about the short stick on the front of the roof, you are talking about the AM/FM antenna and you will have to install another antenna.
You can order the antenna from the same dealer that supplies the Tuner.
The antenna can be mounted on the rear of the top OR it can be mounted IN the rear hatch near the top (behind the inspection cover). The hatch is made out of plastic and will still allow good operation.
Just depends on whether you want stealth or you want to say "hey everybody, I have Satellite!".
Alan is right.
Start by getting a new dealer.
The Murano has some complex things.
The Sat Radio ain't one of them.

Funny thing. I was talking to the dealer couple of weeks ago and he told me that only XM can be installed. He told me " Nissan is not making Sirius receivers for Murano".
What dealership are you guys getting these bull**** statements from!??Murano_driver said:Funny thing. I was talking to the dealer couple of weeks ago and he told me that only XM can be installed. He told me " Nissan is not making Sirius receivers for Murano".
Installing a sat radio is 300 dollars?!? A 6th grader could install it! Takes 20 minutes! Hardest part is running "a" wire, everything else is "plug and play". What are they charging an hour $900???
Nissan service departments make me SICK! ...This is why I'm a member of this site... to learn how to install/repair my Murano myself!
I think I've saved myself about $500 dollars so far with the help of the other members of this site!
