I did the "jumper link wire" mod as per KrisL and the I-BUS noise caused by OEM Sirius is gone! Now, before I did the jumper like mod, the only noise I got was I-BUS "tic-tic-tic" noise and no engine whine noise.

Just double check all your connection and grounds.

However, the I-BUS "scratching noise" will be eliminated with the jumper link wire mod as per KrisL. Apparently, Sirius is daisy-chained on the CD Changer I-BUS and the Intravee needs to be grounded a specific way when you have Sirius installed.

Anyhow, can you do me a favor? What firmware is installed in your Intravee-II? Just go to "Status" and it will display your Firmware and Build number.

One problem is that I do have the engine whine and scratching that others have reported with the Sirius module. I will try the option offered by KrisL next week and see how that works out.
