TerminatorX5 is on a distinguished road
it looks like a Sirius radio unit is placed into the TV tuner slot, with the portion of the plastic cover cut-out, just as one of the Sirius DIY suggests. The sirius and the TV module can not occupy the same spot at the same time, the TV tuner usually takes the whole cavity, while some folks managed to neatly tuck away the Sirius module where you have the tow module. In this case, you will need to get either a full blown TV tuner, or a special reverse camera module. the module is smaller in size but I am not so sure if the sirius and the smaleer module can co-exist in the same slot. If you get the full tuner, stick it into the properly designated spot, then you will need to figure where to stick the sirius, as the tow module is getting in the way of the new spot for sirius. Maybe the tow module can be relocated, but that is a factory harness that will need to be modified for the tow module... geee... my head is spinning... is the small module available on the market?
