Sirius radio has become the leader in satellite radio, and you can readily have this system inside your Ford Escape. Although newer models of the vehicle offer it as an option on the car, even older versions of the Escape can get in on the fun, although modification may need to be done in order for have best quality. There are several options available. Let's explore some of them.

Sirius Radio Car Kit

Sirius radio car kits are designed for quick and easy installation of the satellite radio on your Ford Escape without having to rip apart the dash or swap out components already inside the car. To install the kit, simply mount the display and the antenna in a place that you feel comfortable having it (the top of the dash is usually the simplest) and plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter. Now with power, you have three options to stream it into the stereo: an auxiliary input, the wireless FM transmitter, or through a wired tape that goes into the tape deck. Once you have made the decision on what sounds best in the car, the installation is complete and was done in a matter of minutes.

Installing a Sirius-enabled Radio

Many newer CD and navigation decks are set up to be able to stream Sirius satellite radio through the deck itself. Go to a local car audio store and they will show you all of the compatible decks that will work with satellite radio without needing extra kits. Once you find the one you like, the store can install it for you (most of them will do it for free or for a minimal price) and even help you order the Sirius satellite radio to work in your Escape. Otherwise, you can call Sirius's automated number and they will walk you through the steps of the order process and also how to get it to play inside of the car.

Sirius Radio

If you already have a Sirius-enabled radio inside of your car, call Sirius and simply have them walk you through the subscription process, and also have them help you make sure the satellite radio has been enabled in your car. Most Escapes that are 2004 and newer already have the hookup for satellite radio and just need the subscription to make it work.
